Fisherr 1B and 1BR Constant-Pressure
Pump Governor Actuators
The Fisher 1B pump governor actuator (figure 1) is
used to maintain a constant discharge pressure on
steam driven turbine or reciprocating pumps and for
pressure reducing or pressure relief applications.
Typical pump governor applications include fire
pumps, boiler feedwater pumps, a nd industrial or
refining pumps where the discharge medium is oil,
steam, air, or other noncorrosive fluid.
The 1BR pump governor actuator is combined with a
push-down-to-openvalveforserviceasarelief
governor. A relief governor is used to divert excess
pump discharge to the suction side of the pump.
Features
Rugged Construction–Brass and steel construction
combats wear for long service life.
