Abstract
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.
