In recent years, electronic pressure regulators have really come into their own. They offer higher pressure, more flexibility and extra robustness compared to previous technologies. That’s why here at Fluid Controls we supply a wide variety of electronic pressure regulators from brands such as Proportion Air, Parker Lucifer and Equilibar. In this article, we will outline all you need to know about electronic pressure regulators.
Electronic pressure regulators work by using a push valve and a vent valve to maintain the outlet pressure at the desired set-point. A small inner pressure sensor monitors the output pressure and a digital or analogue controller tweaks the timing of the valves to retain the required set-point. Electronic pressure regulators can be used with air, gas, steam and liquids, depending on your application.
There is an array of applications for electronic pressure regulators, this is due to the fact that their main purpose is to provide closed loop pressure control. And this can relate to many industries and applications.
Some common applications include:
Fluid Controls can supply a comprehensive range of electronic pressure regulators from some of the industry’s leading manufacturers. Our impressive range includes single or double loop control Proportion-Air electronic pressure regulators and Parker’s EPP range of electro-pneumatic pressure regulators.
The Proportion Air QB1X electronic regulator has been designed to work in nearly every environment. This regulator can be calibrated to any pressure range from full vacuum up to 12 Bar. Another feature of the QB1X is that it can be configured to accept a variety of digital and analogue command signals and comes with an analogue monitor out signal for data acquisition as standard.
The Parker EPP4 series electronic regulator is an electro-pneumatic pressure regulator that offers precision based on a simple and reliable design. Key features include long life expectancy, low power needs and a compact and light design. This series’ high precision closed loop also promises high accuracy.
