Control Valve - Gain and Transfer Function

This document discusses control valve gain and transfer function. It defines gain as the change in output (flow) divided by the change in input (controller output signal). It provides equations to calculate gain based on the dependence of valve position, flow coefficient, and flow. It discusses how gain is calculated for valves with linear and equal percentage characteristics. It also addresses calculating gain for constant and variable valve pressure drops. Finally, it poses two questions about finding gain for a specific valve and drawing the transfer function block diagram.

Control Valve

gain and transfer function


Control valve gain and transfer function
Gain
• Gain of the valve – change in output divided by the
change in the input
• Output of valve – flow
• Input of the valve is the controller output signal (in
percent controller output)
df gpm (Ib/hr or scfh )
Kv =
dm %CO
• The valve gain obtained from three term
– Dependence of the valve position on the controller output
– Dependence of the Flow coefficient, Cv on the valve position
– Dependence of the Flow on the flow coefficient , Cv

dvp dCv df
Kv =
dm dvp dCv
• Dependence of the valve position on the controller
output
– Simply the conversion of percent controller output to
fraction valve position

– +ve sign for valve fails closed (air-to-open)


– -ve sign for valve fails open (air to close)
=

• Dependence of the Flow coefficient, Cv on the


valve position
– Linear characteristic

- Equal percentage
• Dependence of the Flow on the flow coefficient , Cv
– For liquid service
• Constant valve pressure drop

• Variable valve pressure drop


Constant valve pressure drop
• The gain of a valve with linear characteristic

The gain of a valve with equal percentage


characteristic
Variable valve pressure drop
• The gain of a valve with linear characteristic

• The gain of a valve with equal percentage


characteristic
•
Question 1
• Find the gain and the valve position
• Cv,max=2000
• Cv=500
• Density of liquid =800kg/m3
• Inlet pressure =100 psig
• Outlet pressure =80 psig
• α (rangeability parameter) = 50
• Consider both a valve with linear characteristics
and equal percentage valve
• Transfer function
Question 2
• Using the valve gain obtained in Question 1,
1. Write the transfer function of the valve if the
time constant of the valve actuator is 0.3 min
2. Draw the block diagram of the valve
