Abstract: An air flow regulator includes a damper (14) and an air cylinder (20) operatively connected with the damper (14) to adjust a damper setting. A pressure sensor (52) indicates a pneumatic pressure in the air cylinder (20). An air pressure regulator (42) is operatively connected with the air cylinder (20) to pressurize and exhaust the air cylinder (20) responsive to an electrical input (70). The air pressure regulator (42) includes a calibration table (64) associating steady state air cylinder pressure values with regulator shut-off pressure values. Responsive to the electrical input (70) updating a steady-state air cylinder pressure value, the air pressure regulator (42) pressurizes or exhausts the air cylinder (20) until the pressure sensor (52) indicates a pressure corresponding to a regulator shut-off pressure value associated in the calibration table (64) with the updated steady-state air cylinder pressure value, whereupon the air pressure regulator (42) ceases the pressurizing or exhausting.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure regulator for propane and liquefied petroleum with a balanced valve. An inlet port (10) receives supply pressure and an outlet port (14) receives output pressure. A threaded shaft (28) engages a pocket in a spring button (20). A diaphragm assembly (22) engages the bottom of a range spring (24). A T-handle (26) is rotated to move the spring button (20) downward, compressing the range spring (24) which creates a net downward force on the diaphragm assembly (22). A valve mechanism (12) includes a supply seat (30), a supply valve (34), a balance piston (32), and a pintle interconnection (36). The supply valve (34) moves off of the supply seat (30) as the downward force is exerted on the diaphragm assembly (22), and supply pressure fills the outlet port (14).
