SO – Pressure Reducing Valves

Pressure Reducing Valves

Valves for controlling steam or air pressure. They maintain the prescribed pressure even when flow rates fluctuate. Selection can be made from a wide assortment of models, including pilot-operated models, direct-acting models, and models with integral separators and steam traps. High-precision pressure reducing valves for process applications employ a separator with steam trap and shock-absorbing spherical piston to yield a superior flow rate. The basic configuration of pressure reducing valves for air is identical to that of those for steam; as such, they are able to offer the same benefits.

Pressure Reducing Valves (With Built-in Separator and trap)
Pilot-operated pressure reducing valves with built-in separator and trap. Local-set and remote-set types are available.
Operating Pressure Range: -12 – 300 psig
Operating Temperature Range: 32 – 428 °F

Three-in-One Design
• In addition to pressure reduction, these valves also provide steam trapping and condensate separation functions.

Stable Pressure
• Self-aligning capability, shock-absorbing spherical piston, and advanced pilot regulator design all work to accurately maintain secondary pressure stability.

Dry Steam or Air
• Built-in Cyclone Separator provides a condensate separation efficiency as high as 98%, and self-modulating Free Float® steam or air trap provides dry, high-quality steam or air.

Simple Piping Arrangement
• Built-in separator and trap make for simple piping arrangement, and internal secondary pressure-sensing channel (optional in some countries) makes external sensing line unnecessary.

Pressure Reducing Valves (Without separator and trap)
Pilot-operated pressure reducing valves to supply steam or air with stable secondary pressure for general use. Local-set and remote-set types are available.
Operating Pressure Range: -12 – 300 psig
Operating Temperature Range: 32 – 428 °F

Stable Pressure
• Self-aligning, shock-absorbing spherical piston and advanced pilot regulator designs maintain secondary pressure accuracy.

Simple Piping Arrangement
• Internal secondary pressure-sensing channel (optional in some countries) makes external sensing line unnecessary.

Pressure Reducing Valves (Direct Acting)
Compact, light-weight, direct-acting pressure reducing valves. Stainless steel construction.
Operating Pressure Range: 2 – 230 psig
Operating Temperature Range: 32 – 428 °F

Easy to Use
• Compact and light-weight, suitable for installation in tight spaces.

Stainless Steel Construction
• The DR8, DR20, and A-DR20 all feature stainless steel construction, achieving high durability and a long service life.
• Furthermore, the DR8 is uniquely designed for use with clean steam, and is highly polished to prevent bacterial growth and meet the sanitary needs for sensitive applications in the food, medical, and other industries.

High Pressure Reduction Capability
• Capable of a 30:1 pressure reduction.
