Check Velocity in Block

Check the velocity in the manifold with respect to the Nominal Velocity Range specified in MDTools Options.
MDTools^® will display the cavities/ports in different colors in model.

1.     MDTools 965 > Check Velocity in Block

The Check Velocity in Block dialog box displays the pressure and tank nets.

2.     Select required net(s).

The Cavity/Port, Drill/Port Dia, Flow, and Velocity of each port are displayed in the grid.

The Velocity legend indicates:
Red – High
Green – Nominal
Yellow – Low

Note:

·     Selected nets or all the nets are colored, and unaffected areas are grayed out.

·     Velocities inside valve cavities are not checked.

·     The Nominal Velocity range can be specified on the MDTools Settings > Energy Efficiency tab page.

3.     Double click on a cavity/port to change its flow value, if required.

4.     Click  to recolor cavities for the selected net.

5.     Click Close.

Manifold is recolored.

Note:

·       If a pilot/drain port/cavity in the circuit is used to create pressure/tank flow path in the manifold, then the designer must change the port connection type in the manifold to pressure/tank; and update the flow.

·       If flow is merging in a connection, then the designer must manually update the flow.
