PSValve#

module wntr.network.elements

class PSValve[source]#

Bases: Valve

Pressure sustaining valve class, inherited from Valve.

Constructor

This class is intended to be instantiated through the add_valve method. Direct creation through the constructor is highly discouraged.

Parameters:

name (string) – Name of the pump
start_node_name (string) – Name of the start node
end_node_name (string) – Name of the end node
wn (WaterNetworkModel) – The water network model this valve will belong to.

Attributes

`name`	The link name (read-only)
`link_type`	returns `"Valve"`
`start_node`	The start node object.
`start_node_name`	The name of the start node (read only)
`end_node`	The end node object.
`end_node_name`	The name of the end node (read only)
`initial_status`	The initial status (Opened, Closed, Active) of the Link
`initial_setting`	The initial setting for the link (if Active)
`valve_type`	returns `"PSV"`
`tag`	A tag or label for this link
`vertices`	A list of curve points, in the direction of start node to end node.

Result attributes

`flow`	(read-only) current simulated flow through the link
`velocity`	(read-only) current simulated velocity through the link
`headloss`	(read-only) current simulated headloss
`quality`	(read-only) current simulated average link quality
`status`	(abstract) current status of the link
`setting`	(read-only) current simulated setting of the link
