Applications

This control valve typically regulates the pressure in tanks used in the dairy, food, beverage, brewery and many other industries. The valve easily integrates with an Alfa Laval SCANDI BREW® tank top system.

Benefits

• Reliable, constant tank pressure control
• Variable pressure setting
• Optimized cleaning
• Built-in pressure gauge
• Fully cleanable with Cleaning-in-Place system

Standard design

The pressure regulator comprises a single valve unit including pressure exhaust valve, pressure supply valve and connection for pressure gauge. On top is a vent port with outlet connection. A tank connection at the side branch is normally connected to the pipe leading to the tank top. It is also possible to incorporate the pressure regulator in a flow panel.

Working principle

The valve unit has a variable setting, which enables adjustment of the relieving pressure to match the required working pressure in the tank. When tank top pressure exceeds the preset pressure, the regulator releases gas through the vent port—either for atmospheric discharge or for collection. If the tank top pressure decreases, a gas supply connection at the bottom of the valve allows gas to flow into the tank
