Modeling Reed Valves in GT Power
Modeling Reed Valves in GT Power
(OP)
I'm working on a two-stroke diesel engine model in GT-Power and I'm trying to look at different cases of controlling EGR. One method I want to look at is using a reed valve to drive the EGR and possibly control the EGR rate. I know that this is done commercially in some cases but I'm not that familiar with these types of reed valves. GT-Power has a "ValveReed" component, but there is a lot of user defined parameters where I'm not sure what value to enter. One problem is that I don't have access to any commercial reed valve suppliers to get data from a real reed valve to model. Does anyone have any advice on how to use this component or information on actual reed valve specifications? Thanks!





RE: Modeling Reed Valves in GT Power
Either talk to Brian or can you populate the neccesary parameters of the generic reed valve in GT Power using Blairs book?
He talks a fair bit about them.
BTW a reed valve isn't a particularly durable component for a commercial truck application such as a Volvo or even a Fairbanks engine.
You could ask Aby but he's more than likely busy in the shop on his Mitsubishi.
Tke care
