DM505Z PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR

Self-acting pressure reducers are simple control valves offering accurate control while being easy to install and maintain. They control the pressure downstream of the valve without requiring pneumatic or electrical control elements.

The DM 505Z pressure reducing valve is a diaphragm-controlled spring-loaded proportional control valve for small volumes. This pressure reducer is manufactured from deep-drawn stainless steel featuring excellent corrosion resistance. The tubular inlet spigot of the valve body accommodates the seat aperture. The valve cone is guided in the seat assembly and connected with the control diaphragm by means of a stirrup which surrounds the seat assembly. Considering the intermediate piece incl. water trap between body and diaphragm and the metallic cone seal the valve is suitable for temperatures up to 200°C.

The spring module comprising spring cap, spring, adjusting screw, diaphragm and internal components, is connected to the valve body only by means of a clamp ring and two bolts. Changing the diaphragm or the complete spring assembly for a different control pressure range is extremely simple and does not call for special tools. The same applies to servicing and maintenance.

Changing the control pressure setting does not affect the height of the valve (non rising adjusting screw).

The outlet pressure to be controlled is balanced across the control unit by the force of the valve spring (set pressure). As the outlet pressure rises above the pressure set using the adjusting screw, the valve cone moves towards the seat and the volume of medium is reduced. As the outlet pressure drops, the valve control orifice increases; when the pipeline is depressurised, the valve is open. Rotating the adjusting screw clockwise increases the outlet pressure.

The valves requires a sense line (to be installed on-site). These valves are no shut-off elements ensuring a tight closing of the valve. In accordance with DIN EN 60534-4 and/or ANSI FCI 70-2 they may feature a leakage rate in closed position in compliance with the leakage classes III (metal sealing cone - 0.1 % Kvs value).
