™ Managing The Process Better. ™ INDUSTRIAL REGULATORS
Purpose of a regulator Vent Pressure Measurement P2 P1 To match downstream demand while keeping the downstream pressure constant.
Purpose of overpressure protection Pressure Measurement Vent Relief ValveBack Pressure P1 P2 To let go fluid to atmosphere or to a recovery system (P2) in order to maintain the pressure (P1) to a safe maximum value
Distribution control principle Pressure Reducing Valve Overpressure protection Production - Air - Steam - Gas - Water Atmosphere Recovery system Utility network
Pilot-Operated Devices To improve accuracy and capacity of self-operated regulators Relief/back pressure regulator Regulator A pilot-operated device is the combination of 2 self-operated regulators The pilot or actuator & The main regulator The pilot is acting as an amplifier
Information to be considered • Inlet pressure - P1 (mini & maxi) • Outlet pressure - P2 • Set Point (Regulated pressure inlet or outlet) • Capacity - Q (mini & maxi) • Fluid specifications • Gas, Air, Steam (dust, particles) • Corrosion - Materials - Elastomer compatibility • Temperature (mini & maxi) • Pipe diameter
Control Valve Versus Regulator • Control Valve Regulator • Complex Simple • More Expensive Less Expensive • External Power / Bleed Self-Contained • Fluid Versatile Fluid Restricted • (Air to Slurry) (Clean and Low Viscosity) • Wide Temperature and Pressure / Temperature • Pressure Capability Limitations • Many Control Options Pressure Control Only • Feedback Limited Feedback
Control Valve vs Regulator Regulator Advantages • Self Contained • Accuracy • Fastest Speed of Response • Simple • Large Selection • Typically Lower Cost • Maintenance
