The GUNT Test Stand for Control Valves is designed for investigating and testing various control valve models used in process engineering systems. Control valves serve as actuators linking controllers with systems to regulate gas or liquid flows. Understanding valve behaviour and system response is critical for optimal control loop design. This mobile test stand features a water circuit with pump and tank, allowing integration of the valve under test. Flow rate is adjusted using a gate valve and recorded by an electromagnetic flow rate sensor. Two pressure sensors measure pressures upstream and downstream of the valve.
