A pressure loaded pilot valve system and method for a regulator valve is provided. The system includes a regulator valve connecting an inlet line to an outlet line, a servo control valve assembly, and a pilot valve assembly. A supply line is connected to the servo control valve, and a pilot loading pressure line connects the servo control valve to the pilot valve assembly An exhaust line connects the servo control valve to the outlet line, thereby avoiding waste, pollution, etc. associated with bleeding excess pilot pressure to the atmosphere.

Pressure loaded pilot system and method for a regulator without atmospheric bleed

An intelligent fluid flow regulation device that includes a pressure regulator within a fluid flow passage that has an associated throttling element moveable in the flow passage. A number of sensors in communication with the fluid flow passage and the throttling element are provided that communicate information from the sensors to a processor also contained within the regulation device. A communication unit is also included within the regulation device that affords communication between one or more devices that are external to the fluid flow regulation device and the processor within the regulation device.

Intelligent regulator with input/output capabilities

Apparatus for performing diagnostics through a regulator is disclosed. The pressure regulator is disposed in a fluid flow passage and has a throttling element moveable in the flow passage. A stem is attached to the throttling element. The apparatus includes a first pressure sensor for measuring pressure upstream of the throttling element, a second pressure sensor for measuring pressure downstream of the throttling element, and a travel sensor for detecting the position of the throttling element. A processor is provided which includes a stored algorithm for determining flow rate based on the measured pressure and travel values, and an alarm routine for generating logic alarms based on the measured operating parameters.
