The operational characteristics of the grate‐type MVS with screen were studied in detail. First, theory was developed to predict how the current needed to operate the valve was related to the valve geometry. Then experiments were made to see how bed height, screen aperture, grate spacing, the presence of nonmagnetic solids in the mixture all affected the current needed to operate the valve and on the mass flux of solids. The response time of the valve was also determined. The experiments were compared with the predictions of the theory.
