    4.5.3 - REGULATOR IN MONITOR FUNCTION The regulator with monitor function (1) is used to keep the downstream pressure value (Pd) within the preset limits in case of failure of the main regulator. The regulator with monitor function is installed upstream of the main pressure regulator. A regulator with a monitor function is a regulator that has a different, application-specific balancing device.

Operation of regulator-monitor with main regulator in faulty conditions In the event of failure of the main regulator (2), the regulator with monitor function (1) will intervene maintaining the down- stream pressure value (Pd) within the established limit for its calibration.
  • Page 39: Built-In Monitor

    4.5.4 - BUILT-IN MONITOR The built-in monitor (1) is installed upstream of the main regulator (2) in a fully open position during normal operation. The built-in monitor (1) is used to keep the pressure value downstream of the main regulator (2) within the pre-set limits in case of failure.

    4.5.4.2 - BUILT-IN IMD MONITOR pstrEam prEssUrE ownstrEam prEssUrE Fig. 4.7. Built-in IMD monitors During normal operation, the plug (3) is held in the open position by the load of the setting spring (4). In the event of a failure of the main regulator (2), the downstream pressure (Pd) is controlled by comparing the load of the setting spring (4) with the force that the downstream pressure itself exerts on the diaphragm (5).
