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. Condensation build-up over time can cause damage to the system.
