Pressure-flow (p-Q) control of a pump
Controller combination in which the setpoint Q for the flow rate controller and the setpoint p for the pressure controller are pre-defined electrically on proportional valves. In this way the performa
Pressure flow
Flow that is produced in the gap between two chambers with different pressures p 1 and p 2.
Pressure surge
Shock in the pressure fluid due to the release of kinetic energy if the flow rate suddenly stops (e.g. due to closing a valve or a piston moving against a stop). The pressure wave produced in this man
Pressure control
Change in the pressure in a device or a system as a function of pre-defined control signals. The pressure control can be undertaken by switching processes or continuously.
Pressure positioning range
Range in which the "pressure" output signal at a given inlet pressure is controlled by a continuously adjustable valve (E DIN 24 311).
Pressure peak
Pressure pulse that can go beyond the calculated pressure (DIN 24 312).
Single loop control circuits
in which only one physical variable (e.g. distance or pressure or speed), the controlled variable , is fed back (Figure E 8) .
Switch-on time
Time a system requires to reach the steady operating state from the switched off state.
Switch-on characteristic of a solenoid
Specific time and force required on the actuated valve. The switch-on characteristic is different on DC and AC solenoids . On average the DC solenoid switches a factor of 3 times slower than an AC sol
Actuated time
Time from the "on" switching command to the "off" switching command. Of a solenoid : ratio of the switch-on time to the duration of a working cycle in %. The ratio of load to relief time is termed the
