If the Kv indication states too high and the selection of the

next lower Kv states too low, always select the higher Kv
value.

Attention please:
The flow calculation is already designed for twice the
theoretical value. Avoid further flow doubling since this
might cause an unfavourable control behaviour.

Starting at a pressure difference of < 3bar above the

valve, the control behaviour is increasingly unlinear.
The possible maximum flow quantities strongly decrease
and partly amount to merely 1/10 of the calculated value.
In extreme cases, the flow is even 0.
