Type Y692 Gas Blanketing Regulator System Figure 1. Type Y692 Low-Pressure Gas Blanketing Regulator An Accu-Pressure™ Gas Blanketing Regulator System reduces a high-pressure gas, such as Nitrogen, to maintain a protective environment above any liquid stored in a tank or vessel 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 Y692 (Figure 1) is a direct-operated regulator used for accurate pressure control on very low-pressure blanketing systems. Downstream pressure is sensed through a pitot tube installed in the lower casing of the regulator for units with internal pressure registration or through a downstream control line for units with external pressure registration. • Ease of Inspection and Maintenance—The union nut connection between the body and actuator permits access to the disk and orifice by only removing the diaphragm casing assembly without removing the body from the line. • Accuracy of Control—Large diaphragm areas provide more precise control even at low-pressure settings and the pitot tube also creates a dynamic boost that helps provide greater capacity. • Speed of Response—The downstream pressure is sensed directly by the diaphragm through the pitot tube providing quick response. • Ease of Installation—The Type Y692 is easy to install in the pipeline because no additional Process Management

Bulletin 74.1:Y692 Principle of Operation Installation The Type Y692 Gas Blanketing Regulator reduces a high-pressure gas to maintain a positive low-pressure of blanket gas over a stored liquid when the liquid is being pumped out of the vessel (see Figure 2). Also when the vessel (or tank) is suddenly cooled, causing vapors to contract, the regulator replaces the volume of contracting vapors with a volume of blanketing gas to prevent the internal vessel pressure from decreasing. In both cases, a positive vessel pressure prevents outside air from entering the vessel and reduces the...

Bulletin 74.1:Y692 API 2000 The American Petroleum Institute Standard 2000 (API 2000) sizing method accounts for liquid pump-out as well as contraction of tank vapors due to cooling. When using API methods: Qtotal = Qpump + Qthermal where, Qtotal = Required Flow Rate Qpump = equired Flow Rate to replace pumped out R liquid from Table 1 Qthermal = equired Flow Rate due to thermal cooling. R See Thermal Equations 1 to 4 below or Table 2. Thermal Equations For tanks up to 840,000 gallons / 3179 m3 capacity, use one of the following equations: Equation 1: Qthermal [SCFH Air] = Vtank x 0.0238...

Bulletin 74.1:Y692 Capacity Information Ordering Information Table 5 gives the typical regulating capacities at selected inlet pressures and outlet (control) pressure settings. Flows are in SCFH (60°F and 14.7 psia) of 0.97 specific gravity nitrogen. For gases of other specific gravities, multiply the given capacity of nitrogen by 0.985, and divide the given capacity by the square root of the appropriate specific gravity of the gas required. Then, if capacity is desired in normal cubic meters per hour at 0°C and 1.01325 bar, multiply SCFH by 0.0268. When ordering, specify: To determine...
