Application, characteristics, technical data Application Gas pressure regulator (GPR), direct-acting (operating without auxiliary power), for systems acc. to DVGW Code of Practice G 491 (A) and G 600 (A) (TRGI) Particularly suitable for dynamic regulation sections (e.g. gas fireplaces, burner circuits, gas motor operation). Can be used as an equipment component on gas consumption facilities as defined in Regulation (EU) 2016/426. Can be used for the gases defined in DVGW Code of Practice G 260 / G 262 and neutral non-aggressive gases. (other gases on request) Integral pressure-tight model (IS)...

Structure and function The spring-loaded gas pressure regulator R101 has the function of keeping the outlet pressure of a gaseous medium constant within allowable limit values in the connected regulation section on the outlet side, independently of the effect of interferences, such as changes in the inlet pressure and/or in the gas tap. The gas pressure regulator is composed of the actuator housing and the “diaphragm assembly plus actuator”. The actuator for the diaphragm assembly can be produced in various valve seat diameters to suit different nominal widths. The gas flows through the actuator...

Types of models / Options Safety diaphragm Safety diaphragm In the model with safety diaphragm, the safety diaphragm is located above the main diaphragm. When the main diaphragm is damaged, the safety diaphragm makes contact with the top cover of the diaphragm assembly and limits any inadmissible escape of gas into the surrounding atmosphere to a maximum of 30l/h (air). (Option not available for hydrogen version H2) Noise reduction Noise reduction The noise reduction made of metallic foam reduces noise in the gas pressure regulator produced by the flow rate by up to -15 dB (±3 dB). RSD2 throttle...

Design Note All calculated pressures are absolute pressures. (p+1 bar) The required KG value for a gas pressure regulator is determined with the smallest inlet pressure or lowest pressure drop. Inlet pressure (bar) Outlet pressure (bar) Standard volumetric flow rate (Nm³/h) Calculation of the required KG value pd / pu > 0.5 KG value at a subcritical pressure ratio KG = Qn / pd⋅(pu-pd) pd / pu ≤ 0.5 KG value at a supercritical pressure ratio KG = 2∙Qn / pu For spring-loaded devices, a capacity reserve of 10-20% is recommended in order to comply with the accuracies given. Selected device Type R...
