For the past 20 years, he has specialized in complex fluid control. In this extensive article for Water Technology Magazine, Jeff explains how a dome-loaded regulator works and reviews the differences between a pressure reducing regulator and a back pressure regulator. Two case studies demonstrate possible advantages.

For complex applications, Equilibar® valves can provide reliable pressure-reducing control

Equilibar’s multiple orifice diaphragm technology has become a favorite for providing back pressure control, vacuum control, and flow control, but in certain applications it can also provide distinct advantages as a pressure reducing valve (PRV) that is able to perform where conventional valves cannot. Equilibar devices excel in pressure-reducing applications that push far beyond the Read More
