The approach of using the ball sector design for three-way valves is new and offers around 20% higher KVS values than three-way valves with a conventional design. These high flow rates are achieved ...

Where Kbv = velocity head loss coefficient for the ball valve and ƒbv = turbulent pipe friction factor associated with the ball valve. The friction factor may be evaluated from a number of methods and ...

In a pneumatic driving system, a servo valve is most expensive equipment compared with pneumatic actuators. In a wearable driving system, the mass and size of a valve also becomes serious concern. The ...

Fast switching fluid power valves set strict requirements on performance, size and energy efficiency and simulation models are therefore needed to obtain good designs of such components. The valve ...
