Abstract
The present invention relates to a pressure regulator and dampener assembly which can regulate the liquid pressure and, at the same time, absorb liquid pressure pulse waves in a liquid system. The pressure regulator and dampener assembly comprises a housing and diaphragm means dividing the housing into a control chamber, a liquid chamber adjacent to the control chamber and a dampening chamber adjacent to the liquid chamber. An inlet and an outlet are used by which liquid enters and exits the liquid chamber. A valve means is mounted on the diaphragm means for controlling liquid exiting the liquid chamber. The assembly further comprises an adjusting means for controlling the valve means to move between a closed position and an open position.
