Pietro or s/t Fiorentini... PRESSURE REGULATOR DIVAL 160 AP Pietro E Fiorentini... Introduction The 160 AP DIVAL Pressure Regulators are spring action devices with diaphragm control suitable for medium and high pressures. They allow a constant downstream pressure to be obtained for any upstream pressure value and/or flow demand. The particular features of this regulator are: ~ high cg flow coefficient; - high setting accuracy; - positive shutoff; - minimum overpressure at closure; - fast response; - compact size and light weight construction; - top entry cartridge construction permits maintenance without disaligning body from pipe; - optional built-in overpressure shutoff valve. Applications and main features - previously filtered non corrosive gas; - design temperature: -10°C +50°C (-20°C +60*C available on request); - ambient temperature: -20'C + 60°C; = design pressure:bodies and diaphragms 75 bar; - outlet pressure: from 1 to 4 bar; - regulation accuracy (RG): up to #/- 5% of the set pressure; - over pressure at lock up (SG): up to max 110% of the set pressure; = shutdown zone (SZ): down to 10% of the max. flow; = maximum inlet pressure 75 bar. Connections: lap joint flanges according to ANSI 600 RF B 16.5 (ANSI 600 RJF, 300 RF, 300 RJF on request). cr 78/8. DIVAL 160 AP. DIVAL 160 AP + SB 67 @ Piet @isrcatins.. cr vee, Description of Regulator Operation (sce fig. 1) The 160 AP DIVAL regulator is a spring operated device with downstream pressure control by means of an external impulse A. The downstream pressure is controlled by means of a comparison between the load of pring B and the thrust from the downstream pressure on the diaphragm Cc. . This comparison, is influenced by the weight of the mobile assembly, the thrust deriving from the spring G and the residual thrust on the plug. The motion of the diaphragm C is transmitted by the lever system D to the stem & and then to the plug F. The spring G is designed to eliminate all the inevitable clearance in the lever system D. The rubber seal H is vulcanized onto the plug and is designed to ensure hermetic closure when the demand is zero. If during operation, for example, the thrust from the downstream pressure is less than the load of the spring B, the diaphragm C is lowered, thereby pulling the plug F away from the valve seat K until the preset downstream pressure is reached again. The opposite occurs when the downstream pressure exceeds the setting. Two limit stops V are provided to eliminate potential damage from accidental over or under pressure below the diaphragm C and from overloading the spring B. The constructive solution employed for the connection of the main diaphragm Cand the stem E allows the protection of the rubber seal H against damages deriving from anomalous excesses of the downstream pressure, Infact, with the regulator in closing position, this solution also allows the diaphragm C to lean on the superior limit stops v, limiting the load on the rubber material of the seal H and the spring M.

An internal by-pass J balances the pressure from one side to the other side of the plug N in order to ease the manual reset; this by-pass can only be manually operated while its disconnection is completely automatic. The controlled pressure acts on the diaphragm of the control head Qi this diaphragm and its plate are fixed to the stem R and receive the counterthrust of the minimum spring S and/or maximum spring T, set at the desired values. Motion of the diaphragm because of defective equilibrium due to variations of the controlled pressure beyond the range admitted also causes the movement of the stem R which releases the stem I; in this way, the plug N is released and brought into the shutoff position by the spring U. = Intervention for maximum and/or minimum pressure; - incorporated by-pass; - manual reset; = light weight construction and reduced size; y_ maintenance; - possibility to be fitted on regulators already installed; - non corrosive clean gases; - diaphragm design pressure: 19 bar model 102, 75 bar other models; - design temperature: -10°C +50°C ( -20°C +50°C on request); - ambient temperature: -20°C +60°C - accuracy overpressure (AG): +/- 5%; accuracy lack of pressure (AG): +/- 15%; - application range for increasing of pressure model 103 (ho): 2-22 bar: - application range for decreasing of pressure model 103 (wha): 0,2-4 bar. cr 178/z, Choice of the regulator The choice of a pressure regulator is normally carried out by the employment of the Cg valve coefficient or Kg flow coefficient. The calculation method is reported in the catalogue CT 174 detailing the DIVAL regulators for medium and low pressures. Instructions for ordering When ordering regulators use the following descriptions; for ordering spare parts always report the serial number: - Example: Dival 160 AP with flanges DN 25 ANSI 600 for inlet pressure 10-50 bar, outlet pressure 2 bar and flow rate 300 Stmc/h of natural gas: Dival 160 AP: DN 25 ANSI 600 P1=10-50 bar P2=2 bar 00 Stme/h natural gas - Example: built-in slam shutoff for DIVAL 160 AP for increasing pressure up to 4 bar. SB 87 max - mod. 103. ~ 4 bar. As above, but for increasing/decreasing over /under 4/1,5 bar SB 87 max/min - mod. 103 - 4/1,5 bar. Pietro or are @Forenis..
