  2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    They differ from pressure reducing regulators in that the pressure reducing regulator controls downstream pressure and is insensitive to upstream pressure. [2] It is a normally-closed valve which may be installed in parallel with sensitive equipment or after the sensitive equipment to provide an obstruction to flow and thereby maintain upstream ...

    A cracking pressure adjustment knob can be seen at the left side of the valve mechanism. Screwing it in increases the pre-load on the valve spring and increases the pressure difference required to pull the diaphragm in enough to open the valve. Cracking pressure adjusting knob and flow deflector lever on Apeks TX100 demand valve

  4. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them.

  5. Diving regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_regulator

    A scuba regulator first stage has one or two high pressure ports upstream of all pressure-reducing valves to monitor the gas pressure remaining in the diving cylinder, provided that the valve is open. The standard connection is an O-ring sealed 7/16" UNF inside thread. [1] There are several types of pressure gauge.

  6. Steam turbine governing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine_governing

    In this method steam is passed through a restricted passage thereby reducing its pressure across the governing valve. [2] The flow rate is controlled using a partially opened steam control valve. The reduction in pressure leads to a throttling process in which the enthalpy of steam remains constant. [1] Figure1: 2-D schematic of throttle governor

  7. Valve actuator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_actuator

    Hydraulic pressure can be supplied by a self-contained hydraulic pressure pump. In some applications, such as water pumping stations, the process fluid can provide hydraulic pressure, although the actuators must use materials compatible with the fluid. Electric valve actuator mounted on a pressure reducing needle valve.

  8. Relief valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relief_valve

    A relief valve DN25 on cooling water pipe from heat exchanger Schematic diagram of a conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve. A relief valve or pressure relief valve (PRV) is a type of safety valve used to control or limit the pressure in a system; excessive pressure might otherwise build up and create a process upset, instrument or equipment failure, explosion, or fire.

  9. Talk:Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Pressure_regulator

    Opening definition "A pressure regulator is a valve that automatically cuts off the flow of a liquid or gas at a certain pressure." is wrong! (that describes a check-valve). It does nothing of the sort. Pressure regulators do not control flow. They simply control the supply pressure to a downstream process from an upstream higher pressure source.
