Conrader RCL-S-HU-145-175 pilot valve is used in the oil & gas industry to control the fluid flow of another piloted valve.
Working Mechanism:
- As the system pressure increases and reaches the cut-out pressure, the pilot valve opens and pressurises the line downstream to the pilot.
- As the system pressure decreases and the cut-in pressure is reached, the pilot valve closes and decreases the pressure of the line downstream of the pilot valve.
Features:
- Conrader RCL-S-HU-145-175 pilot valve features a brass body for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
- This pilot valve consists of stainless steel spring and ball for the long service life of the valve.
- It can be operated at temperatures ranging from -15 to 400 degrees F.
- This pilot valve has a removable side-mounted stainer for removing solid impurities and preventing the valve from blocking.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What type of connection is offered in Conrader RCL-S-HU-145-175 pilot valve?
A. It has 3/8 inch female NPT connections.
Q. What are the various pressure settings on this pilot valve?
A.
- The unload set pressure is the pressure at which the valves operate the intake discharge mechanism, allowing the compressor to vent into the atmosphere.
- The load set pressure is the pressure at which the unloader valve opens, allowing the compressor to restart producing compressed air.
- The pressure difference between the load and unload pressures is referred to as the differential.
Q. What is the operating pressure of Conrader RCL-S-HU-145-175 pilot valve?
A. It has operating pressures ranging from 20 to 1200 psi.
