A gas regulator includes: an inlet section fluidically connected to a gas inlet in the regulator, an outlet section fluidically connected to at least one gas outlet from the regulator; a shutter assembly which is movable so as to define at least one opening position in which the gas passes from the inlet section to the outlet section through a restriction, thus generating a pressure drop of the gas, and therefore of a temperature, such as to cause the precipitation/solidification of some substances, in particular the fractions of sulfur and/or its derivative compounds, present in the gas; and an outlet filter with mechanical action which is positioned downstream of the restriction, inside said regulator, to thus retain any solid particles deriving from the precipitation/solidification. The at least one outlet of the gas from the regulator is fluidically connected with a portion downstream of the outlet filter.

Gas regulator

Apparatus for regulating gas pressure suitable for use in systems and/or networks for transport and/or distribution of gas, the apparatus configured to be connected upstream with an inlet duct for the gas and downstream with an outlet duct, and includes:

Apparatus for pressure regulating

A gas meter includes: a box-shaped body, an inlet mouth and an outlet mouth suited to allow the passage of a gas flow and defined on the box-shaped body, wherein inside the box-shaped body there is a metering device designed to measure one or more parameters for the determination of the gas flow rate, the metering device being provided with an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The gas meter includes: an inlet duct extending from the inlet mouth towards an opposite side of the box-shaped body, an outlet duct extending between the outlet mouth and an opposite side of the box-shaped body, the metering device being positioned in an intermediate area between the inlet duct and the outlet duct.

A gas meter structure includes a box-shaped body, an inlet mouth and an outlet mouth suited to allow the passage of a gas flow and defined on the box-shaped body, wherein inside the box-shaped body there are a metering device suited to measure one or more parameters for the determination of the gas flow rate, and a filter suited to filter the gas flow. The filter comprises a dust deposit chamber for the dust present in the gas flowing in, the dust deposit chamber having an inlet opening communicating with the inlet mouth of the box-shaped body, a dust collection bottom and a filtering outlet wall provided with through openings; the dust deposit chamber is configured in such a way that the gas flows into it through the inlet opening and flows out of it through the through openings of the filtering outlet wall.

A pressure reduction plant including two or more valve assemblies arranged in parallel and including: pressure reducers for fuel gas from the supply pressure to the delivery pressure; pilot valves to transmit a control pressure to the pressure reducers when the delivery pressure reaches the calibration value of the pilot valves; derivation conduits to transmit the delivery pressure to the pressure reducers, the pilot valves and the pressure reducer devices; command lines to transmit the control pressure from the pilot valves to the pressure reducers. One of the pilot valves is configured with a calibration value greater than the calibration value of all the remaining pilot valves and each command line is configured to communicate with a control line.

Pressure reducing plant with two or more lines operating in parallel

A system for adjusting pressure of a gas includes: a first shutter unit for causing a pressure drop in the gas, from a supply pressure to a delivery pressure; a pilot unit for providing a pilot pressure depending on the difference between the delivery pressure and a predefined setting pressure; a first drive unit operated by the pilot pressure to reduce the opening of the first shutter unit when the delivery pressure exceeds the setting pressure, and vice versa; a second shutter unit in series with the first shutter unit can assume a closed configuration; a second drive unit operated by the pilot pressure to reduce the opening of the second shutter unit when the delivery pressure exceeds the setting pressure, and vice versa. When the first shutter unit is open the opening of the second shutter unit causes a pressure drop smaller than the pressure drop by the first shutter unit.

System for adjusting the pressure of a gas

A method for piloting a pressure regulator for an operative gas, the pressure regulator having a flow duct for the operative gas; a shutter causing a pressure drop in the operative gas, from a feeding pressure to a delivery pressure; a motorisation chamber delimited by a first movable wall associated with the shutter so that an increase in the delivery pressure causes a narrowing of the shutter; an elastic element exerting on a first movable wall a force directed to counteract the pressure force exerted by the operative gas on the first movable wall and widening the shutter; a compensation chamber housing a compensation gas and at least partially delimited by a second movable wall connected to the shutter to enable transferring on it the pressure force of the compensation gas, the method including the operation of regulating, moment by moment, the pressure of the compensation gas as a function of the delivery pressure.

Gas pressure regulator and method for piloting said pressure regulator

The invention relates to a gas pressure regulator having a valve, a delivery duct of low pressure gas (Pb), a regulation shutter for the gas delivery flow, a control head of the valve defining an upper chamber &lsqb;( )&rsqb; and a lower chamber. A pilot valve controls the movement of the shutter. The pilot valve has a first chamber with an inlet way, a first outlet way communicating with said delivery duct and a second chamber in which there is the body of an interception shutter adapted to open or close the inlet way &lsqb;( )&rsqb;. The first chamber has at least a second outlet way communicating with the lower chamber and the upper chamber and the inlet way are connected to each other through an auxiliary duct containing gas at an intermediate pressure (Pm) between high pressure (Pa) and low pressure (Pb).
