PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE, SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE PRESSURE-REGULATING DEVICE, AND RELATED METHODS
Embodiments described herein relate to a pressure-regulating device, systems that include the device, and related methods. For example, the pressure-regulating device may receive gas from a gas supply at a first pressure (e.g., on a supply side of the pressure-regulating device) and may regulate or reduce the pressure of the received gas to a selected or suitable second, different pressure.
Multi-Function Three-Stage Pressure Regulator
An integrated pressure regulator is provided with three stages configured to reduce an extreme tank pressure down to a typical working pressure. The regulator is configured to supply a steady working pressure until the tank pressure is reduced to little more than the working pressure itself. Stages of the pressure regulator are integrated into a body and arranged to minimize regulator mass and volume. A thermally-triggered pressure relief device may be included with a triggering time adapted to enhance the safety of smaller cylinders that may be used, e.g., in aerial applications.
ADJUSTABLE MULTISTAGE PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR WITH AUGMENTED THERMAL CONTROL
A multi-stage pressure regulation system, device with enhanced thermal distribution for reducing the pressure of gas passing through a gas sample conditioning system. The device and method allow for automatic and/or manual configuration settings for regulating different types of gas having different profiles while still avoiding dew point dropout thereby ensuring accurate sample analysis at a downstream analyzer. The pressure regulating device includes a housing having a core, a vapor sample input port, a plurality of openings on an upper surface, a plurality of pressure regulating valves configured to reduce the pressure of a vapor sample, an assembly having a base and substantially central stem orthogonal to the base and extending axially therefrom, the stem being disposed within the core, and an adjunct for enhanced distribution of thermal energy from the heating device to the plurality of pressure regulating valves.
Pressure regulator and gas storage device with the same
A pressure regulator has a valve tube assembly, a gas-input assembly, a first regulating assembly and a second regulating assembly. The gas storage device has a storage unit and the pressure regulator. By the first and the second regulating assemblies, the effect of adjusting down the gas pressure is achieved to maintain the safety of use. The pressure regulator is partially embedded in the gas storage unit to reduce the overall volume of the gas storage device. However, the high-pressure piston chamber of the valve tube assembly communicates with the outside of the gas storage unit through the high-pressure gas channel to maintain the normal operation of the elastic element in the high-pressure piston chamber.
ADJUSTABLE DEADBAND CONTROL SYSTEM
A control system having a pressure regulator, first pilot, and second pilot. The pressure regulator has a fluid inlet, fluid outlet, and actuator assembly with a cavity divided into a first chamber in fluid communication with the fluid outlet and a second chamber. The first pilot has a first setpoint and the second pilot has a second setpoint, less than the first setpoint. The first and second pilots fluidly couple the second chamber to the fluid outlet and isolate the second chamber from the fluid inlet in a first mode of operation, isolate the second chamber from the fluid outlet and fluid inlet in a second mode of operation, and fluidly couple the second chamber to the fluid inlet in a third mode of operation.
Adjustable multistage pressure reducing regulator with augmented thermal control
A multi-stage pressure regulation system, device with enhanced thermal distribution for reducing the pressure of gas passing through a gas sample conditioning system. The device and method allow for automatic and/or manual configuration settings for regulating different types of gas having different profiles while still avoiding dew point dropout thereby ensuring accurate sample analysis at a downstream analyzer. The pressure regulating device includes a housing having a core, a vapor sample input port, a plurality of openings on an upper surface, a plurality of pressure regulating valves configured to reduce the pressure of a vapor sample, an assembly having a base and substantially central stem orthogonal to the base and extending axially therefrom, the stem being disposed within the core, and an adjunct for enhanced distribution of thermal energy from the heating device to the plurality of pressure regulating valves.
ANTI-SPIKE PRESSURE MANAGEMENT OF PRESSURE-REGULATED FLUID STORAGE AND DELIVERY VESSELS
A fluid supply package comprising a pressure-regulated fluid storage and dispensing vessel, a valve head adapted for dispensing of fluid from the vessel, and an anti-pressure spike assembly adapted to combat pressure spiking in flow of fluid at inception of fluid dispensing.
Air pressure regulator
An air pressure regulator includes an air input stage, an air output stage, and a transfer stage. The air input stage, air output stage, and transfer stage arranged substantially in-line, end to end along a longitudinal axis. The air input stage is attached to the transfer stage with first fasteners that simultaneously engage with the transfer stage and pressure fit a first pressure step-down piston against an input stage backpressure assembly, and the air output stage is attached to the transfer stage with second fasteners that simultaneously engage with the transfer stage and pressure fit the second pressure step-down piston against an output stage backpressure assembly.
Anti-spike pressure management of pressure-regulated fluid storage and delivery vessels
A fluid supply package comprising a pressure-regulated fluid storage and dispensing vessel, a valve head adapted for dispensing of fluid from the vessel, and an anti-pressure spike assembly adapted to combat pressure spiking in flow of fluid at inception of fluid dispensing.
Pressure regulator and method for fluid pressure regulation
A gas regulator includes a valve chamber body that houses two valves of the regulator. Valve elements that move to open and close the two valves are received via a same opening into the valve chamber body, which is closed by a plug. The plug can define a first valve seat as well as a piercing element used to pierce a compressed gas cylinder. A retainer can hold a gasket at a valve seat as well as provide a bore or other support for a valve element and valve element spring.
