Self-Operated Pressure Regulating Valve

  • No external energy source required – powered by the medium’s own energy for automatic pressure regulation
  • Pressure-closing (B) and pressure-opening (K) types for gas, steam and low-viscosity liquids
  • DN20-DN200, PN1.6-6.4 MPa; condenser and cooling fin options available

Overview

ZZYP self-operated pressure regulating valve requires no external energy source. The controlled medium itself acts as the power source: it enters the actuator diaphragm chamber to generate thrust and drive the throttling element for automatic regulation. It combines the functions of measurement, actuation and control, and can be used where no compressed air or electricity is available. It is widely used in automatic control systems in the petroleum, chemical, power, light industry and printing & dyeing industries for automatic pressure reduction and stabilization (downstream pressure regulation) as well as pressure relief and stabilization (upstream pressure regulation) of gas, liquid and steam in various equipment. Different trim structures and actuators can be selected according to the user’s working conditions to achieve the optimal control effect.

Cage pressure-closing type ZZYM-16~64B Cage pressure-opening type ZZYM-16~64K

Note: 1. The pressure-closing type is used for downstream pressure regulation. When the downstream pressure rises, the valve closes to achieve pressure reduction and stabilization. 2. The pressure-opening type is used for upstream pressure regulation. When the upstream pressure rises, the valve opens to achieve pressure relief and stabilization.
