Self-acting back pressure regulators are simple control valves offering accurate control while being easy to install and maintain. They control the pressure upstream of the valve without requiring pneumatic or electrical control elements.
The UV 4.7 and 4.8 backpressure regulators are spring-loaded diaphragm-controlled and balanced proportional control valves for large volumes. The valve cone is fitted with a soft seal (up to 130 °C). This bypass valve is manufactured from deep-drawn stainless steel featuring excellent corrosion resistance.
The inlet pressure to be controlled is balanced across the valve seat by the force of the valve spring (set pressure). If the inlet pressure rises above the set pressure, the valve opens. With decreasing inlet pressure the valve control orifice reduces, when the pipeline is depressurised, the valve is closed. Rotating the adjusting screw clockwise increases the inlet pressure.
The valves requires a sense line (to be installed on-site). These valves are no shut-off elements ensuring a tight closing of the valve. In accordance with DIN EN 60534-4 and/or ANSI FCI 70-2 they may feature a leakage rate in closed position in compliance with the leakage classes V (soft seal cone = 1.8 x 10-5 x ?p x D* [l/h], *D=seat diameter).
