PILOTS
SPECIAL PRESSURE PILOTS
www.kimray.com
APPLICATION:
The Pilot may be coupled with a Single Acting Motor Valve
from Catalog Section E2 to produce a Back Pressure Regulator
with a remotely mounted Pilot.
FEATURES:
Single Adjustment
Filtered gas supply
Accurate control
Intermittent bleed construction
Remote installation
SUPPLY PRESSURE:
Controlled pressure is also the source of instrument gas
PRESSURE RANGE:
5 psig to 300 psig
OPERATION:
The Pilot Assembly, which moves as a unit without friction
within the housing, is supported by the PILOT DIAPHRAGM and
the MODULATING DIAPHRAGM. The PILOT SPRING loads
the upper side of the Pilot Assembly and is opposed on the
underside by Controlled Pressure (Red) acting on the net area
of the PILOT and MODULATING DIAPHRAGMS (area of PILOT
DIAPHRAGM minus area of MODULATING DIAPHRAGM).
The 12 PG SP Pilot can be considered as an inverse multi-
plier. Each 1 psig change in Controlled Pressure (Red) results
in a change in Output Pressure (Yellow) of 12 psig. The 30 PG
SP Pilot changes at a ratio of 8:1.
With a slight decrease in Controlled Pressure (Red) the Pilot
Assembly is forced downward by the PILOT SPRING. The lower
seat for the PILOT PLUG (Yellow to Atmosphere) is closed and
the upper seat for the PILOT PLUG (Red to Yellow) is opened.
This results in an increased Output Pressure (Yellow) under the
MODULATING DIAPHRAGM which balances the lost upward
force due to the slight decrease of Controlled Pressure (Red).
The Pilot Assembly returns to a position at which both the upper
and lower seats are closed. A slight increase in Controlled
Pressure (Red) closes the upper seat and opens the lower seat
to reduce the Output Pressure (Yellow).
The 12/30 PG SP Pilot is unique from other Kimray Pilots in
that it uses gas from the sense line to operate the valve
Designed for use as a Back Pressure Regulator, this combi-
nation of a 12 or 30 PG SP Pilot and a Single Acting Motor Valve
(from Catalog Section E2) limits upstream pressure by adjusting
open to relieve excess pressure or conserves upstream pressure
by adjusting closed to limit the flow to downstream.
This is the primary application for the Pilot.
