Type Y693 Gas Blanketing Regulator
Introduction
An Accu-Pressure™ Gas Blanketing Regulator
reduces a high pressure gas, such as nitrogen, to
maintain a protective environment above any liquid
stored in a vessel or tank when the liquid is being
pumped out. Also when the vessel is suddenly cooled,
causing vapors inside the vessel to contract, the
regulator system replaces the volume of contracting
vapors with a volume of blanketing gas to prevent
the internal vessel pressure from decreasing. In both
cases a slight positive vessel pressure prevents
outside air, moisture and other contaminants from
entering the vessel and the possible collapse of the
vessel walls.
The Type Y693 (Figure 1) is a direct-operated
regulator used for accurate pressure control on low
pressure blanketing systems. Downstream pressure
is sensed through an external control line in the lower
casing of the regulator. The Type Y693 is available in
NPS 1-1/2 and 2 / DN 40 and 50 body sizes.
Features
• Ease of Inspection and Maintenance—The union
nut and/or hex head bolt connection between the
body and actuator permits access to the disk and
oricebyonlyremovingthediaphragmcasing
assembly without removing the body from the
pipeline (see Figure 2).
• Accuracy of Control—Balanced trim and large
diaphragm area reduces hysteresis to as little
as +/- 0.50 in. w.c. / 1 mbar deviation from setpoint.
• Inlet Pressure Sensitivity—Less than
0.25 in. w.c. / 0.6 mbar setpoint shift over the
entire inlet pressure range.
• Speed of Response—A change in vessel pressure
registers directly under the diaphragm resulting in
the fastest possible speed of response.
• Variety of Materials—Regulator body, trim
and valve disk are available in various material
combinationsforprocessuidcompatibility.
• Outlet Pressure Stability—4 to 1 lever ratio reduces
regulatorsensitivitytoinletpressureuctuation.
• Tight Shutoff Capability—Aat-faceddisk
of Nitrile (NBR), Fluorocarbon (FKM) or
Polytetrauoroethylene(PTFE)providesexcellent
shutoff capability.
