    Notes ................
  • Page 23 12 Accessories / Options 12.1 BV breather valve 12.1.1 Use • On SAV control devices • On regulators (pilots) • With low-dynamic regulation sections (one full stroke) • On the SRV (SL10) 12.1.2 Application / Function The breather valve is used as replacement for the costly and time-consuming laying of breather lines and for securing the installation room against inadmissible escape of gas from diaphragm comparator compartments of gas pressure regulators and safety shut-off valves.
  • Page 24 12.2 RSD restrictor valve 12.2.1 Use • For installation in the measurement line of the gas pressure regulator 12.2.2 Application / Function • For finer adjustment of the control behavior of the regulator • For vibration-free outlet pressure regulation. The RSD is a throttle valve that affects the volumetric flow in the measurement line from outside by means of a continuously adjustable narrowing of the cross-section.
  • Page 25 12.3 HD-2 version 12.3.1 Use • Gas pressure regulators R51 • On the SRV (SL10) 12.3.2 Application / Function The HD-2 high-pressure spindle is used for simplified adjustment of the control spring in the safety relief valve SRV. For the adjustment of particularly strong control springs, the use of a high-pressure spindle is mandatory.
