Abstract
A stable pressure regulating apparatus is provided. The stable pressure regulator includes a chamber having a first bore diameter with a second bore diameter adjacent and concentric to the first bore diameter. A fluid inlet receives a fluid at an unregulated pressure, and a fluid outlet discharges the fluid at a regulated pressure. A moveable piston assembly is located in the chamber, and includes a first valve that is in fluid communication with both the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet, and a sealing member located at an upper portion of the piston assembly.
Claims13
A fluid pressure regulating apparatus, comprising:
- a chamber comprising a first area and a second area;
- an inlet port communicating with the first area, the inlet port structured to receive a fluid at an unregulated pressure;
- an outlet port communicating with the second area, the outlet port structured to dispense the fluid at a regulated pressure;
- a piston moveably located in the chamber;
- a spring located on one side of the piston;
- an adjustment element communicating with the spring, the adjustment element structured to apply a load against the spring;
- and
- where the load can be varied so that the regulated pressure is dispensed through the outlet port.
A fluid pressure regulating apparatus, comprising:
- a chamber comprising a first bore diameter, and a second bore diameter adjacent and concentric to the first bore diameter;
- a fluid inlet for receiving a fluid at an unregulated pressure;
- a fluid outlet for discharging the fluid at a regulated pressure;
- a moveable piston assembly located in the chamber, the piston assembly comprising:
- a first valve that is in fluid communication with both the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet;
- and
- a sealing member located at an upper portion of the piston assembly;
- an unregulated pressure communicating with the fluid inlet;
- and
- a regulated pressure exiting the fluid outlet.
A fluid pressure regulating apparatus, comprising:
- a chamber comprising an inlet for receiving a fluid and an outlet for discharging the fluid;
- a second chamber comprising a first bore diameter, and a second bore diameter adjacent and concentric to the first bore diameter, and in fluid communication with the inlet and the outlet;
- a piston moveably located within a portion of the second chamber;
- a valve located within a portion of the first chamber, the valve providing fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet, the valve operable by the piston;
- a first seal between the second chamber and the piston, the first seal preventing fluid communication between the inlet and outlet;
- a fluid pressure control element abutting a distal end of the piston, the fluid pressure control element structured to set a fluid discharge pressure;
- an unregulated pressure relief element communicating with the inlet;
- and
- a regulated pressure relief element communicating with the outlet.
