General Tab

• Valve – Enter the name of the valve here.
• sisHYD generates a unique name for the valve, for which may be changed. The name must be unique within the network elements, otherwise sisHYD rejects the change and issues an appropriate warning.
• Initial and end nodes – Combination fields, with which the linkage of the valve within the network between initial and end nodes is specified.
• Zone – Assigns the valve to one of the configured zones.

✍ The allocation is insignificant for actual hydraulic calculation. It is useful in the case of the formation of network variables for cost calculations.

• Type of valve – Assigns a Valve types to the valve. The allocation is optional. The pre-defined type "<without valve type>" enables the calculation without specifying the component specification. A control as to whether the construction unit is used in accordance with specification is void in this case.
  • The type of valve describes the hydraulic behavior of the valve. It also contains information about the valve price, as well as production information, irrelevant to the simulation.
• Price category – Assigns a price category to the valve. The costs for the valve are determined by the price value in the valve type data of the same price category.

Regulation Tab

All control functions assigned to the pump are indicated on the tab. The associated regulation dialog is opened by double clicking on a row.

Results Tab

You can access the calculation results for the valve using this tab. The height of the dialog mask is adaptable to be able to show the complete list of results .

• Calculation – Indicates the names of the network calculation to which the results belong.
• List of the results – The following results for the valve are computed and indicated subject to the module:
  • Mass flow – Is the calculated valve flow.
  • Flow rate in – Flow rate in the entry cross section of the valve.
  • Flow rate out – Flow rate in the exit cross-section of the valve.
  • Temperature in – Is the temperature of the medium in the entry flow of the valve.
  • Temperature out – Is the temperature of the medium in the exit flow of the valve.
  • Input Pressure – Is the entry pressure in the entry flow of the valve.
  • Output Pressure – Is the exit pressure in the exit flow of the valve.
  • Position – Is the calculated position of the valve if a type of valve was indicated.
  • Pressure loss – Is the pressure loss caused by the valve.
  • Error – The description of the errors if any occur.
