Cash Valve 1455-0120 pressure regulator is ideal for industrial settings to maintain precise pressure levels within systems. It is used in steam equipment and HVAC systems for chemical processing and manufacturing.
Working Mechanism:
- This pressure regulator operates by using a diaphragm assembly, a spring and a valve disc to control fluid flow and maintain a consistent pressure level.
- Fluid enters the regulator through an inlet connection & adjustment screw allows users to set the desired pressure level.
- As fluid pressure increases, the diaphragm flexes due to the pressure's force, moving the valve disc away from its seat and releasing excess pressure through an outlet port.
- When pressure drops below the setpoint, the spring's force prevails and the diaphragm pushes the valve disc back onto its seat, blocking flow and stabilising pressure.
Features:
- This regulator offers inlet and outlet sizes of 2 inches for efficient flow control.
- It features bronze construction for long-lasting performance and has a maximum pressure of 400 psi.
- This 2-inch pressure regulator offers pressure adjustment ranging from 90 to 150 psi for precise pressure regulation.
- It has a maximum temperature handling capability of 180 degrees F, ensuring operational stability even in high-temperature environments.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. How to install this Cash Valve pressure regulator?
A.
- Ensure that the system shuts down and pressure releases to prevent accidents.
- Choose a suitable location considering accessibility and flow direction.
- Clean inlet / outlet pipes and ensure clean, undamaged threads.
- If needed, apply thread sealant to prevent leaks.
- Install the regulator with correct orientation and support.
- Attach pipes to the regulator's inlet and outlet connections.
- Use appropriate wrenches to secure connections.
- Set desired pressure range using the regulator's knob.
- Turn on the system, monitor for leaks and rectify if found.
Q. How do I choose the right pressure regulator for my application?
A. Selecting the appropriate regulator involves considering factors, such as your application's pressure range, flow rate, fluid compatibility and accuracy.
Q. What is the difference between a pressure regulator and a pressure relief valve?
A. A pressure regulator controls and maintains a consistent pressure level within a system, whereas a pressure relief valve is designed to release excess pressure from a system to prevent overpressure situations.
