- P.mv is the pressure variable in the bv force. This press is determined by the stiffness of the bv stack. A stiffer bv will create HIGHER pressures, and have higher bv dyno force numbers.
- P.bv is dependant on the icspr, and does not fluctuate with valving changes, but will increase slightly as the temperature increases.
- The press increases due to thermal expansion of the oil (there is no actual gas with an icspr).
- Consider P.mv as the primary pressure, and P.bv as secondary.
- 'bv force' comes from P.mv - P.bv.
- Note: If the bv is stiffened, and P.mv is higher, P.r will also be higher by the same amount.
- i.e. If the P.mv graph line goes up, the P.r line has to follow. See graph below.
