Information

Overview

Model for a simple thermostatic valve.

Concept

Development of SimpleValve by incorporating the behaviour of a thermostatic head as a P controller with a maximum deviation of P and an influence of the pressure drop on the sensed temperature.

It is possible to not close the valve completely by allowing for some minimal leakage. Use this option carefully and always check the influence it might have on your results.
