Pneumatic Atmospheric Reference

Reference connection to ambient pressure and temperature for pneumatic ports


Pneumatic Elements


The Pneumatic Atmospheric Reference block provides a pneumatic reference port with pressure and temperature values set to the ambient temperature and pressure. The Gas Properties block, if present, specifies the values for ambient temperature and pressure for all pneumatic blocks in the circuit. If a pneumatic circuit does not contain a Gas Properties block, ambient temperature and pressure are set to default values of 293.15 K and 101,325 Pa. Use the Pneumatic Atmospheric Reference block with the Pneumatic Pressure Source block to model an ideal pressure source that takes atmospheric air and increases the pressure by a constant amount.

Dialog Box and Parameters

The block has no parameters.


The block has one pneumatic conserving port.
