Installation
Type 132 gas pressure regulator can be installed vertically or horizontally in flow direction. When installed
vertically it is necessary to mount the control regulator vertical beneath the control gear. Due to the specific
design the test pulse can be installed behind the gas pressure regulator at an distance of 2-3 x DN outlet (5 x
DNoutlet = better regulation group than specified).

External Pressure Control

Gas pressure regulators with external pressure
control are used primarily when the pressure
difference between pe and pa is not sufficient to
control the regulator (fast enough). Regularly
compressed air is used as external medium.

Using external pressure controlled units it must be

considered that a small quantity of the external
pressure medium is consumed continuously (5-30
l/min depending on control pressure).

Control function corresponds to the function

described on page 5.
When used with aggressive mediums ventilate
piping to free atmosphere is to install.

Diaphragm Housing On Top Units with diaphragm housings on top are preferred
in two cases:
a) When large quantities of condensate are
expected, which would assemble on the
diaphragms (for example with extremely moist
gases). In such cases an additional condensate
drain cock 1 can be installed.
b) When an extremely short overall length with
outlet downward is required (for example in cabinet
systems).
Control function corresponds to the function
described on page 5.
Dimensions x and y available on request.

Expanding noises can be reduced approximate 10 -

Primary Soundproofing 20 dB with primary soundproofing. Additional
installation is possible at any time. In such cases it
is necassary that noise damping element 2 is held
centered above valve 1 with holder 3. Screw 4
should extend approx. 2-3 mm above the edge of
the body flange when installed with the rubber seal
to ensure that sufficient pressure is present.

An external control nozzle can be used

External Control Nozzle − when contamination and clogging is expected,
− a steel diaphragm housing is used,
− easier and quicker accessibility to the control
nozzle is required.
The control nozzle is designed on a standard basis
with Ermeto connection 10L.

Motor Control
Gas pressure regulators can be equipped with a
servo-motor for electrically driven adjustment of
output pressure.
The servo-motors are available in two versions:
I: Motor servo-drive, brand AUMA, 380 V AC, also
available with design for explosion hazard areas;
II: Motor servo-drive, brand RTK, 230 V AC, also 24
V DC and 380 V AC.

Control function of the gas pressure regulator

corresponds to the description on page 5.

Inlet Pressure Protection

Gas pressure regulators with inlet pressure
protection can be used to prevent the pressure
regulator from feeding medium to the outlet side
when the inlet pressure drops below a certain
value. Pressure switch point is to adjust by the
control regulator UH (turning to right increases
value).

When inlet pressure decreases, check valve 2

prevents medium flowing from outlet side through
control lines 3-1 into control pressure reducer SR
(or directly into the inlet pressure) and damaging it.

Differential or Balanced Pressure

Control
Gas pressure regulators with differential or
balanced pressure control are used regulating the
pressure of the main medium in relation to the
pressure of a second medium.
To prevent mixing of the two media A and B in the
event of a diaphragm crack in the control regulator
they are separated by two diaphragms 1 and 2.
Requested differential or balanced pressure can be
adjusted by cross handle 4 (turn right to increase
value).

Two Operating Pressures By combining two control regulators and a solenoid

valve it is possible to regulate two different outlet
pressures (applications) with one gas pressure
regulator.
The DH1 control regulator is positioned to the lower
pressure pa1; it is always in operation. By opening
solenoid valve MV the second control regulator
DH2 is activated and regulates the high pressure
pa2.
At pressure differences of pa2 - pa1 > 1 bar two
control pressure reducers SR are required.
