13.5.3.8 Valve Position Histogram
Valve position histogram trend can be used to determine
valve operation points. The trend shows if the valve is work
ing as real control valve and how wide the operation area
is. This information can also be used to verify valve sizing.
•
The histogram is updated all the time when the
device is powered
•
Divided into 12 subranges, 1st and 12th subrange
represent closed and open positions.
•
Valve is closed if position < 1 %
•
Valve is open if position > 99 %
Valve position histogram trend shows two measured valve
position histograms side by side: lifetime history of the valve
position and the last three months. If the valve operation
point has recently changed it can be seen in three months
histogram.
Valve position histogram trend is especially useful when
optimizing plant operation or replacing old control valves.
•
If valve operation point is 8090 % most of the
time, then the valve could be too small for current
application
•
If valve operation point is 1030 % most of the
time, then the valve could be too big for current
application
•
Under normal process conditions, the ideal control
area is 3080 % (depends on valve type). If there is a
need to define more accurate min. and max. values
that can be done with Nelprof.
•
Real working point should be checked with the
installed flow curve with Nelprof.
This trend also shows if a valve is in on/off use. This means
if a valve is fully closed or fully open most of the time. If you
can see that a valve has been between 5070 % for most
of the time and that counters are showing that there are a
lot of travels and reversals, there might be wearing in the
valve or seals and/or actuator on that position.
