Remote seals for self-regulating valves
A valve includes a valve body with an inlet and an outlet coupled to a tubular conduit operable to circulate a flow of a process fluid, an actuator with an interior volume divided by a valve diaphragm into a first volume portion that encloses a working fluid and a second volume portion, and a plug coupled to the valve diaphragm and operable to move toward an open position or a closed position based on movement of the valve diaphragm relative to a pressure of the working fluid. A seal isolator is coupled to the tubular conduit and includes an isolator diaphragm having a first side exposed to the flow of the fluid and a second side fluidly coupled to the first volume portion through the working fluid. The isolator diaphragm is configured to transmit a pressure of the flow of the process fluid to the pressure of the working fluid.
