Valve data
Select valve...: By using this button you may select a manufacturer-specific regulating valve which you then may assign to the selected component by clicking Apply.... The selected valve with appertaining specific data will be displayed in the dialog after selection. The range of available valves depends on the installed manufacturer data sets. Further valves can be read in via VDI3805 interface in the Select armature series dialog.
Reset: The Reset button resets the manually assigned armature to a neutral model.
Info...: Opens the dialog Information about this valve with further values and information stored in the data set.
Nominal diameter: In this drop-down list the current nominal diameter of the valve is displayed. Here, you may select a dimension from the drop-down list to which the valve will be set. The set nominal diameter will be used for the calculation. Via the free option from the drop-down list you may have the program do the dimensioning and assign a nominal diameter based on calculation results.
The new nominal diameter selected by the program will subsequently be displayed when you open the dialog the next time.
Further data
Displayed are the current values for kv(min), kv(max), kv(targ) valve settings, mass flow rate and pressure loss of the valve in the current trade.
A control valve is always made up of two components that require to be reassigned after copying. By using the Connect components < command, you have the option to select the two copied components one after the other and to reassign them thus.
