Regulation principle

.

Regulation technology

Fluid pressure regulators are used to reduce the fluid pressure delivered from a pump. Regulators are designed to deliver constant fluid pressure based upon the inputs or setting of the regulator. Fluid regulators should be placed as close as possible to the point of application.

The fluid regulator closes and stops fluid flow when the downstream pressure in the hose of the regulator is greater than the set regulator pressure.

The input fluid pressure should be approximately 40% higher than the regulated pressure. For good control in a pneumatic regulated system, a stable air supply is required. Fluid supply pulsation should be minimized to help ensure ideal regulator function.

FLUID FLOW
Force equilibrium unbalanced: the air piston
doesn’t move; the piston ball check “Inlet
Material” is closed by the fluid pressure.

PRESSURE DROP

As soon as a pressure drop occurs in the system the regulator piston moves with air pressure by opening the ball check and allowing material to flow in chamber 2.
