Functional description

P&ID E51-VCR

The intended use of the Pressure regulator E51-VCR is pressure relief of a gas from an inlet pressure to a fixed or adjustable outlet pressure.

This pressure reduction is performed by the pressure regulator. It is equipped with a pressure gauge to show the outlet pressure. The outlet pressure is set to the desired value by turning the of the handwheel on the pressure regulator and must not exceed the defined maximum value given on the label.

In the case of the single-stage pressure regulation present here, the set outlet pressure does not remain completely constant and instead rises slightly as the inlet pressure decreases (e.g. caused by a draining cylinder).
