The EZR is a pilot-operated regulator used in transmission and distribution
networks or pipe lines supplying industries and commercial businesses.
The EZR can be equipped with a slam shut type OS2 (EZR body
change) which permits the gas flow to be cut off rapidly and totally in the
case of under or over outlet regulator pressure.
DESCRIPTION
The EZR consists of:
A version without integral slam shut:
• A body («E body» type), a bonnet
• A regulation subassembly consisting of a slotted cage and a
diaphragm/plug
• A travel indicator, an inlet screen
• A pilot assembly consisting of a filter with bleeding screw (filtration
20 microns), an adjustable restrictor and a pilot set to the required
outlet pressure

OPERATION
Europe, Middle East, and Africa Document Only
EZR
REGULATOR
The EZR is a pilot-driven, diaphragm/plug regulator.
Tight shutoff is achieved by the diaphragm/plug pushing against the slotted
cage, the force of the closing spring and the inlet pressure.
•Opening
As the flow increases, the outlet pressure Pa decreases on the outlet
side of the regulator and on the pilot diaphragm.
Due to the force of the spring, the pilot opens.
The pilot flow increases, the pressure loss through the pilot restrictor
increases.
The modulated pressure Pm decreases.
The force of the closing spring and that of the Pm becomes inferior to
that provoked by the Pe, the regulator OPENS.
•Closing
As the flow decreases, the Pa increases outlet side of the regulator.
The force of the pilot diaphragm is overcome by the force of the
spring, the pilot closes.
The pressure loss through the pilot restrictor decreases.
The force of the closing spring and that of the Pm becomes superior
to that provoked by the Pe, the regulator CLOSES.
SLAM SHUT
The pressure of the zone to be protected (generally the pipeline on the
outlet side of the regulator and after the slam shut) is sensed by the
safety manometric box (BMS).
If the pressure exceeds the set tripping pressure, the release relay frees
the valve plug.
Due to the force of the closing spring and the fluid (trying to close), the
valve plug closes on the orifice.
The gas flow is obstructed until the fault has been corrected and the
mechanism box manually rearmed.
To reopen the valve plug an equal pressure balance on inlet and outlet
sides of the regulator is required.
The mechanism box is rearmed after opening the internal bypass.
Rearming and balancing are achieved at the same time.

All interventions on the equipment should only be performed by
qualified and trained personnel.
WARNING
!
•The regulator is installed on horizontal pipeline. Version with
slam shut, the release relay is situated towards the bottom (see
schematic).
•Installation according to EN12186 recommended.
•Install according to direction of fluid flow (arrow).
•When assembling with adjacent elements care must be taken
not to create pressure force on the body and the assembling
elements (bolts, O-rings, flanges) should be compatible with
the geometry and working conditions of the equipment.
•If the case arises a support must be used to avoid pressure
force on the body (a support can be installed under the
flanges).
•Version with integral slam shut , connect the safety
manometric box (IS) to the impulse at 4D on a straight run of
the outlet pipe.
•It is recommended to separate the slam shut impulse line (IS)
from that of the pilot (IP). Do not connect the impulses on the
lower generator line.
•It is recommended to install an isolation valve and an
atmospheric valve, which can be useful for slam shut tripping
and verifications.
•No modification should be made to the structure of the
equipment (drilling, grinding, soldering...).
B19
WARNING
!
•It is recommended to install a servicing valve on the outlet
pipeline to facilitate adjustments and bleeding off to the
atmosphere.
•Verify that the inlet side is protected by an appropriate
device(s) to avoid exceeding the limits of utilization (PS, TS).
•Verify that the limits of utilization correspond to the appropriate operating conditions.
•Version with integral slam shut, verify that the safety
manometric box (BMS) and spring correspond to the appropriate operating conditions on the outlet side of the regulator.
•The equipment should not receive any type of shock, especially the release relay.
•The user should verify or carry out a protection adapted to the
environment.
•Fire, seismic and lightening are not taken into consideration
in standard regulators. If required, a special product selection
and/or specific calculations may be supplied according to
specific requirements.
•Version without integral slam shut, verify that a pressure
limiting device on the outlet side of the regulator guarantees a
pressure limit inferior or equal to the pilot PS.
