1. Introduction to top
The APSON Mini Paint Pressure Regulator
PRP-3001-PF is a pneumatically controllable pressure regulator for the
processing of often to change aggressive media, e.g. paints, solvents,
alkalis. The regulator is optimized for good rinsing and low solvent
consumption. Due to its adapter interface it is very quickly
interchangeable and is particularly suitable for highly available
automated systems.
2. Performance Characteristics to top
-
Compact size, small and light. Low pressure loss.
-
Environmentally friendly due to very good rinsability, low
solvent consumption.
-
Very fast exchange in case of defect: Controller, 1 minute;
Double membrane, 2 minutes.
-
Very easy handling during installation, adjustment and
maintenance.
-
Increased safety due to use of a double membrane.
-
Efficient maintenance and spare parts.
3. Structure and Function to top
The
APSON Mini Paint Pressure Regulator
PRP-3001-PF comprises a housing 1, a housing cover 7, a union nut 8 and
a double membrane. This consists of control air diaphragm 12,
medium-diaphragm 14, and spacer ring 6 The membranes interspace has an
discharge output 13 as a safety device.
The double membrane separates the control air space 11 from the
medium space 15. The regulator keeps the medium-pressure at the outlet 16
constant and unaffected by pressure fluctuations of the medium supply
system at the input 2 of the regulator, if the input pressure is greater
than the pneumatically preset output pressure.
In case a damage occurs to the medium-membrane
14 at even perfect control air-membrane 12, then the
penetrating medium is discharged from the membranes interspace through the
orifice 13. In case a damage occurs to the control air-membrane
12 at even perfect medium-membrane 14, then the penetration air
is discharged from the membranes interspace through the orifice 13. When
the regulator is properly operated, thus the penetration of the medium
into the pneumatic system can be prevented. Due to the hydrodynamic flow
geometry of the regulator's interior, a very short rinsing cycle is
achieved.
The desired fluid pressure at the outlet of the regulator is
pneumatically controlled through the air pressure set on the pneumatic
input 10. Thereby, the pressure piece 9 of the double membrane acts on the
sealing ball 4 and opens the sealing seat, more or less. The regulation
process is determined by the pressure balance of control air pressure on
one side and medium pressure on the other side, together with the force of
the closing spring 3 in the supply bore. To rinse the pressure regulator,
the control air pressure is to be brought to a predetermined value, so
that the valve seat between sealing ring 5 and sealing ball 4 is fully
open.
Important: When replacing the
membranes, make sure that the Teflon™-coated surface of the respective
membranes are mounted facing towards the medium compartment 15.
