Information

This is a model of a control valve with two ports and two states. The valve has two ports, a and b. The insignal, u, to the spool is the force on the mechanical flange. The valve is controlled by a mechanical spool with dynamics; see SpoolM.


Control valve with two ports and two states


The valve is closed, and there is only leakage flow between the ports if there is no overlap


Open valve, u = 1; there is flow from a to b

Implementation

This valve basically consists of an orifice controlled by a spool.
