For our previous graduation theses, we used \"valve opening\" to refer to it; if I remember correctly, \"openness\" means openness or cheerfulness, and is often used in the economic field as well as to describe a person’s personality. I translate it as: reduce the opening of valve AB333 for decreasing the valve AB333’s opening, and increase the opening of valve AB333 for increasing the valve AB333’s opening

If it’s just one sentence: “Reduce the opening of valve AB333” – to throttle the opening of valve AB333. The word “throttle” originally means to squeeze something with your hand around its neck; isn’t that a vivid description? Of course, the valve opening is referred to as valve opening, but throttle valve opening can be ambiguous, as a throttle valve is a type of valve used for throttling flow. If “reduce” appears in contrast to “increase”, consider using paired terms such as increase and decrease.
