Abstract
An electronically-controlled pressure regulator includes an inlet through which a gas or liquid is introduced at an inlet pressure, an outlet through which the gas or liquid exits at an outlet pressure, and a valve disposed between the inlet and the outlet, the valve defining a passage including a throat and having a pintle with an enlarged shoulder, the valve movable between a closed configuration in which the enlarged shoulder seals the throat to prevent the gas or liquid from passing from the inlet to the outlet through the valve, and an open configuration in which the gas or liquid can pass from the inlet to the outlet through the valve. In a valve flow path, the enlarged shoulder is disposed between the inlet and the throat. All of the gas or liquid that enters through the inlet can exit through the outlet.
