Information

This is a model of a pressure relief valve with lumped volumes. If the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream port is higher than pMin, the valve starts to open. When the pressure difference reaches pMax, the valve is fully open. The spool model has first-order dynamics with time constant t1. This valve could be used for controlling the upstream pressure in a system (the part connected to port a).


A spool type pressure relief valve

Implementation

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