The role of a balanced pressure regulator within a system

The pressure regulator: advantages, consumption, operation. The catalog of Gnali Bocia.

What is a pressure regulator?

The role of the pressure regulators is to reduce the pressure of the gas inside the plants in which it is conveyed, whether it is civil or industrial. In fact, excessive gas pressure can lead to different problems with totally different risks and consequences:
- Excessive consumption: high pressures can lead to greater losses with consumptions of considerable importance both from an environmental and economic point of view;
- Damage to health: gas leaks and explosions can cause significant damage to buildings and persons who are in the vicinity of the system;
- Wear of components: devices that are designed to operate at a certain pressure, while considering all the safety factors, can over time undergo wear with consequent replacements that can cause downtime or malfunctions.
For these reasons, the choice of a correct pressure regulator is not negligible and requires experience and professionalism. Furthermore, establishing an efficient maintenance and control plan allows you to prevent the problems listed above and extend the useful life of the component in operation.

Advantages of the balanced pressure regulators present in the Gnali Bocia catalog

In the Gnali Bocia catalog there are two different types of balanced pressure regulators, namely the FG100 (and FGB100) series and the BHP100 series.
As regards the first type of regulators, they have the following characteristics:
- Compact design: easy to implement in installations;
- Suitable for low, medium or high pressures;
- High regulation precision;
- Complete balancing with balanced shutter that contrasts the variations in pressure upstream;
- Spring operated that allows optimal and responsive control;
- Use with non-corrosive fluids in the civil, industrial and commercial sectors.
As regards, instead, the BHP100 series of balanced pressure regulators, the fundamental characteristics are:
- Presence of inlet and outlet control pressure gauge;
- Resistance to freezing, therefore in severe applications;
- Use with medium or high pressures;
- Cover and body made of aluminum;
- Presence of a synthetic rubber membrane for insulation.

Furthermore, in the catalog, for both categories, the necessary specifications are provided in the order phase to receive a product suitable for the characteristics of the system of interest. In fact, in addition to choosing the model, it is essential to correctly know the main parameters of the system to avoid errors that can lead to the consequences discussed above. Compliance with standards (such as, for example, EN334) and decades of experience in the field make it possible to avoid production errors, also thanks to a controlled supply chain that goes from the starting material to shipping.
