Features
• Quick-Change Trim Package — Tested trim
packages can be ordered and stocked ahead of time
for fast replacement.
• Easy In-Line Maintenance — Top-entry design
reduces maintenance time and manpower
requirements; trim parts can be inspected, cleaned,
and replaced without removing the body from the line.
• In-Service Travel Inspection — Standard travel
indicator assembly with protective cover permits
periodic inspection of plug travel without removing
regulator from service.
• High Accuracy — Total proportional band of
0.25-inch w.c. / 0.62 mbar or less at lower
set pressures.
• Proven Technology — Time-proven regulator
technology has been adapted to meet the
speci c requirements of vapor recovery
(depadding) applications.
Introduction
The Type 1290 vapor recovery regulator controls vessel
blanketing gas pressure when the vessel is being lled
with uid or when ambient temperature causes the vapor
gas to expand. The system monitors the increasing
blanket pressure and throttles open to pass excess
blanketing gas into a vapor disposal or reclamation system
thus controlling the desired set pressure of the vessel.
The vapor recovery regulator is not intended to
be used as an ASME certi ed relief device for
overpressure protection. It is to be used as part of
the gas blanketing system to control the out ow of
blanketing gas under normal conditions and to collect
vessel vapors for the vapor disposal or reclamation
system. You should provide alternate methods of
emergency overpressure protection per the American
Petroleum Institute Standard 2000 (API 2000).
The vapor recovery regulator responds to any changes
in the blanket gas pressure and throttles open or
closed to control the ow of the blanket gas out of the
vessel. A vacuum source on the outlet of the regulator
is usually necessary to ensure ow of low pressure
