The Valve is a building that attaches to Pipelines. Its primary purpose is to limit the flow rate.
Operation[edit | edit source]
The Valve has two functionalities:
- Limiting how much fluid is allowed to pass through (from 0.0 to 600.0 m3/min, one decimal precision), with a tolerance of about 2% above the user-defined limit
- Preventing backflow (just like Pipeline Pumps)
Unlike Pipeline Pumps, Valves don't block the head lift, even when their limit is set to zero m3/min.
