This work aims to study in detail the methods of experimental characterization of air valves. In the first part, different experimental
techniques are compared to the measurements made in the Air Valves Test Bench built ...

[EN] The analysis of transient flow is necessary to design adequate protection systems that
support the oscillations of pressure produced in the operation of motor elements and regulation.
Air valves are generally used in ...
