Hi everyone,
I want to simulate a flow through Bosch Rexroth directional valve. I modeled geometry. I want to obtain nominal flow rate through valve. I have found how companies determine it. This quotation from Bosch rexroth documentation from their website. " No norm exists for the term “nominal flow rate”. To obtain a clear numerical value, Rexroth has defined the following: Inlet pressure: pabs = 7 bar Differential pressure: ∆p = 1 bar Medium temperature: TM = 293 K (20 °C) Humidity: Φ ≅ 0 % Flow rates are indicated in volumes per time unit. The volume refers to a normal state valid for pneumatics according to ISO 8778, and this is as follows: Pressure: p0 = 100 kPa (1 bar) Temperature: T0 = 20 °C Relative humidity: Φ ≅ 65 % In order to identify the flow rate q as a slack volume, the acronym ANR (Atmosphère Normale de Référence) can be added after the unit. Example: q = 12 dm3/s (ANR)" According to this documentation, I have asssumed reference pressure 1bar, 6 bar pressure at inlet, and 5 bar at outlet. Ansys CFX gave me mass flow at outlet q = 0.00743 kg/s and i divided it by 1,18kg/s (density in nominal state) and I multiplied it by 1000 and 60 to determine nominal flow in dm^3/min. But unfortunately results are about 4 times less than from technical card about this directional valve. Did I simulate this valve in proper way? Why there is so big difference? Thank you for your help Mateusz K. |
