Simulation of the operation of a pneumatic actuator in a humid environment
This example will demonstrate how the components of the "Moist Air" library can be used to simulate a pneumatic actuator operating in a humid environment. The distribution valve is a subsystem consisting of four blocks with an adjustable flow section, and the double-acting actuator is a subsystem consisting of two blocks of a mechanical translational motion converter located opposite each other.
Water condensation in the pipes and the drive is formed due to the moisture contained in the ambient air. The accumulation of condensation over time can damage the system.
