Figure 2. Y690A Series Operational Schematic
Principle of Operation
With Internal Registration
(Refer to Figure 3)
Types Y690A and Y690AH are direct-operated
regulators with internal registration (see Figures 2
and 3). It provides a constant set pressure for
accurate gas blanketing. When vessel pressure
decreases below the control spring setpoint, the force
of the spring moves the disk away from the orice
allowing gas to ow into the vessel. As the vessel
pressure increases, the increase is sensed by the
diaphragm through the pitot tube. This movement
of the diaphragm causes the disk to move toward the
orice, decreasing the ow of blanketing gas. When
the vessel pressure reaches the system setpoint,
the disk will seat against the orice shutting off the
ow of gas.
With External Registration
(Refer to Figure 4)
Types Y690AM and Y690AHM Gas Blanketing
Regulators reduce a higher-pressure gas to maintain
a positive low pressure of blanket gas over a stored
liquid. Also when the vessel (or tank) is suddenly
cooled, causing vapors to contract, the regulator
replaces the volume of contracting vapors with a
volume of blanketing gas to prevent the internal vessel
pressure from decreasing. In both cases, a positive
vessel pressure prevents outside air from entering the
vessel and reduces the possibility of atmospheric
pressure collapsing the vessel.
Gas blanketing regulators respond to a slight decrease
in internal vessel pressure (caused by pump out or
atmospheric cooling) by throttling open to increase the
ow rate of gas into the vessel. When the vessel’s
liquid level has been lowered to the desired point
and the vapor pressure has been reestablished, the
regulator throttles close.
When the liquid level drops and vessel pressure
decreases below the setting of the control spring,
the spring force on the diaphragm opens the disk
assembly to supply the required ow of gas to the
vessel. When vessel pressure has been satised,
outlet pressure tends to increase slightly, acting on
the diaphragm. When the outlet pressure exceeds
the control spring setting, the diaphragm moves to
close the disk assembly.
