Valve proving system
The calculation module can be used to calculate the
opening time t
L
for the bypass valves (e.g. VAS 1 or by-
pass valves with additional orifice) by entering the gas
type, calorific value, density, capacity, inlet pressure
and orifice diameter.
Set the next lowest value for parameter 59 to set the
opening time, see page 112 (Valve opening time 1
t
L1
).
