EZH and EZHSO Series
5
Pilot Supply Filter Regulator
The Type SA/2 pilot supply lter regulator provides a
constant supply pressure to the PRX Series pilot that
is approximately 45 psi / 3.1 bar over set pressure.
The Type SA/2 has an integral 5-micron lter.
Principle of Operation
EZH Series – Spring-to-Close Version
EZH Series Single-Pilot Regulator
CAUTION
The pilot-operated EZH Series
(Spring-to-Close version) will fail
in close position with a main valve
diaphragm failure or lack of pressure
supply to the pilot (see Table 3 for
Failure Mode Analysis).
EZH Series (Figure 3) uses inlet pressure as the
operating medium, which is reduced through pilot
operation to load the regulator actuator diaphragm.
Outlet or downstream pressure opposes loading
pressure in the actuator and also opposes the pilot
control spring.
Pilot is supplied with pressure coming from
pre-regulator Type SA/2, which reduces inlet
pressure to the constant value of outlet pressure plus
approximately 45 psi / 3.1 bar.
When outlet pressure drops below the setting of the
pilot control spring, pilot control spring force on the
pilot diaphragm opens the pilot valve disk, providing
additional loading pressure to the regulator actuator
diaphragm. This diaphragm loading pressure opens
the main valve disk, supplying the required ow to the
downstream system. Any excess loading pressure on
the actuator diaphragm escapes downstream through
the bleed restriction in the pilot.
When the gas demand in the downstream system
has been satised, the outlet pressure increases.
The increased pressure is transmitted through
the downstream control line and acts on the pilot
diaphragm. This pressure exceeds the pilot spring
setting and moves the PRX Series diaphragm, closing
the PRX Series orice and interrupting the loading
pressure supply to main valve actuator. The excess of
loading pressure acting on both the main diaphragm
and PRX Series pilot bleeds to the downstream
system through a bleed restriction in the pilot.
A check valve is installed between outlet pressure and
loading pressure impulse lines; this valve will protect
the diaphragm assembly from possible damage during
startup, limiting the differential between outlet and
loading pressure.
EZHSO Series – Spring-to-Open Version
EZHSO Series Single-Pilot Regulator
CAUTION
The pilot-operated EZHSO Series
(Spring-to-Open version) will fail
in open position with a main valve
diaphragm failure or lack of pressure
supply to the pilot (see Table 3 for
Failure Mode Analysis).
EZHSO Series (Figure 4) uses inlet pressure as the
operating medium, which is reduced through pilot
operation to load the regulator actuator diaphragm
(lower chamber). The upper case of EZHSO Series
actuator lled with pressure coming from pre-regulator
Type SA/2, which reduces inlet pressure to the
constant value of outlet pressure plus approximately
45 psi / 3.1 bar. This pressure opposes the main
spring force that tends to open the regulator. Outlet or
downstream pressure opposes the pilot control spring.
When outlet pressure drops below the setting of the
pilot control spring, pilot control spring force on the
pilot diaphragm opens the pilot valve disk, providing
additional loading pressure to the regulator actuator
diaphragm. This diaphragm loading pressure opens
the main valve disk, supplying the required ow to the
downstream system. Any excess loading pressure
on the regulator actuator diaphragm and PRX Series
escapes downstream through the bleed restriction in
the pilot.
When outlet pressure increases over the setting of
the pilot spring, the pilot valve disk will be closed
reducing loading pressure to the actuator diaphragm;
the pressure in the upper case will force the regulator
to close.
A check valve is installed between inlet pressure to
upper actuator casing and loading pressure impulse
lines; this valve will protect the diaphragm assembly
from possible damage during startup, limiting the
differential between inlet and loading pressure.
