Functional description
The GEMÜ N086 and N186 pressure retain-
ing valves are used to provide a
constant back pressure in process plant.
If the inlet pressure rises above a preset
value, the diaphragm is raised against
the spring force. The valve opens and the
excess pressure can escape into the out-
let line. If the pressure on the inlet side is
reduced, the valve closes as the spring
force pushes the diaphragm against the seal
seat. The spring force can be adjusted as
required using a set screw and secured with
the lock nut.
