Product catalog summary
Overview of QB3 Pressure Regulator:
The QB3 is a versatile pressure regulator designed for precision control from vacuum to 150 psi. It features a robust IP65 enclosure, allowing it to withstand harsh environments and be easily cleaned. The device is equipped with field-serviceable parts, including common o-rings, making maintenance straightforward.
Functional Description:
The QB3 operates as a closed-loop pressure regulator with two solenoid valves, an internal pressure transducer, and electronic controls. It uses standard o-rings for maintenance, and repair kits are readily available. The regulator is designed to be unaffected by supply pressure changes, shock, or vibration.
Theory of Operation:
The QB3's output pressure is proportional to an electrical input signal. Solenoid valves control the pressure in the pilot side of the booster, with one valve managing inlet control and the other exhaust. A feedback loop ensures the desired pressure is maintained, compensating for mechanical hysteresis.
Command and Monitor Signals:
The QB3 accepts command inputs of 0-10Vdc or 4-20mA and provides a monitor signal for data acquisition or quality assurance. This eliminates the need for a separate transducer, as the monitor signal accurately reflects downstream pressure.
Specifications:
  • Operating Temperature: 32ºF to 158ºF (0ºC to 70ºC)
  • Protection: NEMA 4/IP65
  • Pressure Range: Customer specified, up to 150 psig
  • Accuracy: ±0.5% Full Scale
  • Electrical Supply: 15-24VDC, 100-250mADC
Performance Characteristics:
The QB3 demonstrates linear response to step input signals, with flow characteristics detailed in accompanying graphs. It is designed for applications requiring high precision and reliability.
Ordering Information:
The QB3 can be customized with various options for command input, monitor signal, and calibrated range. Accessories such as mounting brackets and digital displays are available.
Warranty and Safety:
Proportion-Air offers a one-year warranty against defects, with liability limited to repair or replacement. Proper installation and supervision are required to ensure safe operation.
