Abstract
This problem deals with modelling the flow through a typical
Danfoss thermostatic radiator valve.Danfoss is able to employ
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in calculations of the capacity
of valves, but an experienced engineer can often by rules of thumb
"guess" the capacity, with a precision similar to the one achieved
by the expensive and time-consuming CFD calculations. So CFD is
only used in case of entirely new designs or where a very detailed
knowledge of the flow is required. Even though rules of thumb are
useful for those, who have developed them, Danfoss needs an
objective and general method that can be used to predict the
performance of valves.
