DP3100 SERIES

PRESSURE REGULATOR
 DP3100 - SERIES
PRESSURE REGULATOR
SERIES DP3100 is pilot loaded (self actuated) pressure regulators for general purpose pressure regulating applications. This is a high
accuracy & high flow version of DP3000 primarily for Gas/Vapour applications. These regulators are best suited for delivering constant
reduced pressure of prefiltered gases used in industrial, commercial & process plant applications.
Double stage pilot provides excellent control of outlet pressure with versatile turn down ratio. Additionally the main regulator balanced
trim design with external sensing exhibits excellent control of downstream pressure even with very high variations in inlet pressure.

Figure 1: Series DP3100 Regulator

KEY FEATURES
l Better Accuracy : These regulators are pilot operated and thus high sensitivity and stability of downstream pressure is ensured. Due
to two stage pilot control the outlet pressure is independent of variations in inlet pressure.
l High Capacity : Main Regulator balanced trim with actuator diaphragm responds quickly to downstream change, causing immediate
correction in main valve opening. Accurate pressure loading by pilot permits full main valve travel resulting in high flow capacity.
l Tamper Resistant : An adjusting screw with lock nut and protective cap is standard to discourage tampering with pressure setting.
l Easy Maintenance : Main Regulator and pilot internals can be inspected & maintenance work can be carried out without removing
main body from the line.
l Spring Interchangeability : Pilot springs are specially designed so that those can be interchanged in the same spring casing for giving
wider set pressure range without any modifications. Additional springs can be supplied to cover wide spring range thus giving freedom
to opt for spring range according to process requirement at site.

PRESSURE REGULATOR
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This regulator operates on the simple principle of force balance. In pilot a

downward opening force is exerted by the actuator spring, which is
balanced by the upward force exerted by the controlled outlet pressure
acting below the diaphragm. Any drop in controlled outlet pressure due to
consumption of fluid, disturbs the force balance and due to spring force
diaphragm and stem move down pushing the valve plug away from seat.
This results in opening of the pilot port and giving loading pressure to
main regulator diaphragm.
Thus main regulator opens giving controlled pressure at outlet. When
outlet pressure restores, pilot valve closes and loading pressure on main
regulator diaphragm equalize with outlet pressure through restrictor.
