Equilibar Introduces New LPR2
Ultra Low Pressure Regulator

- Controls down to 0.02 psig!

Equilibar introduces a new Ultra Low Pressure Regulator that controls down to 0.5 inH2O (0.02 psig)! Designed for static and very low flow applications, the patent pending LPR-2 design extends the control range well below other commercially available regulators.

Specifications:

Outlet Range: 0.5 - 7 inWC (0.02 - 0.25 psig)
Inlet Pressure: 10 - 100 psig (regulated)
Ports: 1/4" NPT inlet/outlet
Fluids: Air and inert gases
Major Materials: Cast zinc, PolyEthylene, Rubber

Low Flow Test Results:

Sensitivity +/- 0.02 inWC (0.0007 psi)
7 Day Stablity +/- 0.06 inWC (0.002 psi)
Max Air Flow: 1 SCFH
(4 inWC setting @ 0.7 inH2O droop)
see chart
Air Consumption: <0.05 SCFH
Relieving Sensitivity: ~ 8 inWC @ 1 SCFH
(2 inWC Setpoint)

Low Flow / No Flow Applications

The LPR2 can be used as a stand-alone pressure source for applications requiring no flow or very low gas flow:
  • Laboratory, research, scientific
  • Pressure testing delicate membranes

Medium/High Flow Applications
Use in combination with Equilibar Precision Back Pressure Regulator

The driving force behind the development of the LPR2 is as a setpoint pressure source for the Equilibar Precision Back Pressure Regulator. These back pressure regulators can mirror the ultra low pressure from the LPR2 into much larger process streams, providing pressure control capabilities never before experienced in chemical processes.
  • Vessel inert gas control
  • HVAC
  • Extrusion and blow molding cavity pressure control

Special Application Focus:
Precision Ultra Low Pressure Gas Supply System

Problem: There are very few if any commercial regulators capable of precisely controlling gas pressure below 0.5 psig with varying flow rates.

Solution:
The LPR2 can be used in conjunction with an Equilibar Precision Back Pressure Regulator and a flow control valve to provide incredible precision and responsiveness. By venting any gas flow not required by the application, this system can accommodate forward or reverse gas flow at the application without loss of accuracy.
