  • FLUID REGULATOR HAVING INTEGRAL FLUID PURGE MECHANISM
    Publication number: 20230302505
    Abstract: A fluid regulator includes a poppet valve within a flow path that selectively allows a flow of fluid to move from an inlet to an outlet. A threaded regulating interface adjusts a spring tension exerted toward the poppet valve and defines a regulated flow of the fluid through the flow path. A fluid purge mechanism is positioned within the threaded regulating interface. The fluid purge mechanism operates along a rotational axis of the threaded regulating interface and adjusts a boundary of the flow path and manipulates the poppet valve to a maximum operating position to define a purging flow of the fluid. A programmable logic controller cooperates with the powered actuator and a pressure sensor to define a closed-loop interface that adjusts the regulated flow of the fluid through the flow path.

  • Fluid regulator having integral fluid purge mechanism
    Patent number: 11118691
    Abstract: A fluid regulator includes a housing that includes a flow path extending from an inlet to an outlet. A poppet valve is disposed within the flow path and that selectively allows a flow of fluid from the inlet to the outlet. A regulating interface adjusts a spring tension that is exerted toward the poppet valve. The regulating interface defines a boundary of the flow path and the spring tension defines a regulated flow of fluid through the flow path from the inlet to the outlet. A fluid purge mechanism is positioned within the regulating interface. The fluid purge mechanism adjusts the boundary of the flow path and manipulates the poppet valve to a maximum operating position to define a purging flow of the fluid from the inlet to the outlet.
