Help – I Can’t Get At My Air Regulator!

Executive Summary About Air Regulator By Bill Wade

With an air piloted regulator a small “pilot” air regulator is installed in an accessible location. It’s output signal is plumbed to the air-in signal port usually on the top of the remote ‘main’ air regulator. A 50 PSI air pilot pressure may product a corresponding 50 PSI output on the main regulator.

If a small air line is plumbed from a ‘T’ in the downstream line of the main regulator and run to a visible remote air pressure gauge located near the pilot regulator, by monitoring that remote gauge, the operator can adjust the pressure to the main regulator as needed to “dial in” the downstream pressure that is required for the application.

Some electric regulators may contain a simple electric motor that, when activated by an operator, will adjust the regulator to increase or decrease the downstream pressure. An I/P controlled regulator is another option. A 4 milliamp signal might correspond to 0 PSI downstream pressure and 20 milliamps might equal 100 PSI downstream pressure.

As the application either demanded an increased or reduced pressure, a pressure sensing device at the application would read the pressure and provide the controller with the pressure information. If a change in air pressure was necessary the PLC would adjust the current to the I/P regulator to effect change, until the pressure sensor signaled the controller that the pressure level was now within the programmed pressure range.

How to Choose Your Scuba Regulator Set?

Executive Summary About Air Regulator By Felix Tero

Also called Pressure Regulator, the scuba regulator is the diver’s life support a few feet of sea water below the surface. Meanwhile, the demand valve supplies breathable air at ambient pressure upon detecting the diver’s inhalation effort.

There are performance, cost, comfort and compatibility issues that a scuba regulator designer needs to carefully consider. Balanced or unbalanced? Sealed or unsealed?These terms often come about in a discussion of scuba regulator sets, particularly its first stage an second stage components. Meanwhile second stages are either balanced or unbalanced. For recreational diving, a budget to mid-range regulator set would be appropriate while the top of the line regulators fit specialized and professional diving activities.

Acquisition of Scuba Equipment. Rent or Buy a scuba regulator set? When renting scuba equipment, make sure to take note of the maker, model number and specifications of the scuba regulator set used.
