Problem Statement
How do I ramp a gate valve with no controller?

For this specific sample, it is required to open a gate valve operating in manual (with no controller) from 0 to
100% in 50 minutes. How do I model this system in Aspen HYSYS Dynamics?

Solution
If you do not have controllers, an option would be to use the Event Scheduler to create an opening - closing
event. However, "Ramp Controller" option in the Event Scheduler can only ramp the SP of the controllers.
But in this case, we would like to ramp the real open percentage of the vale directly.

The recommendation is then to include a "Transfer" function to do this job.

In the attached example, a "Transfer" function block in HYSYS Dynamics is implemented to open valve
VLV-102 from 0% to 100% within 50 minutes. The valve opening percentage is defined as the Transfer
function's OP, instead of manipulating it through desirable actuator position, and a "Ramp" function is set
accordingly to model the desired system.

To run the model, start the integrator, and click the "Start Ramp" button as well. You will see the valve
VLV-102 opening from 0% to 100% within 50 minutes time.
