Highly Developed Low-Pressure Reducing Valve
The Blanketing Valve Type ZM-R is a highly developed low pressure reducing valve. This valve is typically used to inert or blanket tanks, vessels, or other process systems with Nitrogen or other blanketing gases by controlling the tank pressure to ist desired value. High Nitrogen or blanketing gas supply pressures up to 16 bar / 232 psi are safely reduced down to only a few mbar / inch W.C..
Membrane-Controlled and Spring-Loaded Proportional Regulator
The ZM-R low pressure reducing valve is a direct acting, one stage pressure control device. It is designed as a diaphragm controlled, spring-loaded proportional acting valve. The valve controls the tank pressure by increasing flow as the tank pressure drops. This means that the mass flow through the valve depends on the pressure differential of the set pressure to the actual tank pressure. When the actual tank pressure reaches the set pressure, the control unit closes, and there is no flow.
For Precise Pressure Control
At the control diaphragm, (which can be made from PTFE or Viton), the tank pressure (P2) is balanced with the adjustment spring and the supply pressure (P1). In a depressurized tank, the adjustment spring holds the valve pallet in the fully open position. As the tank pressure increases, the valve pallet moves toward the seat, and the mass flow is reduced. When the desired tank pressure is reached, the valve will close.
Precise Pressure Control up to -200 mbar
If the tank pressure decreases, the valve will open. If the system is operated in a vacuum mode, vacuum pressures down to -200 mbar /-80 inch W.C. (relative pressure) can be achieved.
