Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for a regulator are provided. The regulator includes a reducing valve, an accumulator, an accumulator line, and a regulated line. The reducing valve is operable between a closed position and an open position. The reducing valve includes a first opening inlet configured to receive fluid to bias the reducing valve towards the open position, a first closing inlet configured to receive fluid to bias the reducing valve towards the closed position, and a first spring configured to transmit a first spring force to the reducing valve to bias the reducing valve towards the closed position. The accumulator is configured to store fluid at a first pressure. The accumulator line is configured to receive fluid from the accumulator and to provide the fluid to the first opening inlet at the first pressure. The regulated line is connected to the first closing inlet at a second pressure. The reducing valve transitions from the closed position to the open position when a first force created by the first pressure on the reducing valve is greater than a sum of the first spring force, a first tolerance, and a second force created by the second pressure on the reducing valve.
