Type Y692 Gas Blanketing Regulator System
W5930-1
Figure 1. Type Y692 Low-Pressure Gas Blanketing Regulator
Introduction
An Accu-Pressure™ Gas Blanketing Regulator System
reduces a high-pressure gas, such as Nitrogen, to
maintain a protective environment above any liquid
stored in a tank or vessel when the liquid is being
pumped out. Also when the vessel is suddenly cooled,
causing vapors inside the vessel to contract, the
regulator system replaces the volume of contracting
vapors with a volume of blanketing gas to prevent
the internal vessel pressure from decreasing. In both
cases, a slight positive vessel pressure prevents
outside air, moisture and other contaminants from
entering the vessel and the possible collapse of the
vessel walls.
The Type Y692 (Figure 1) is a direct-operated
regulator used for accurate pressure control on
very low-pressure blanketing systems. Downstream
pressure is sensed through a pitot tube installed in
the lower casing of the regulator for units with internal
pressure registration or through a downstream control
line for units with external pressure registration.
The Type Y692 is available in NPS 1-1/2 and 2 /
DN 40 and 50 body sizes.
Features
• Ease of Inspection and Maintenance—The union
nut connection between the body and actuator
permits access to the disk and orice by only
removing the diaphragm casing assembly without
removing the body from the line.
• Accuracy of Control—Large diaphragm areas
provide more precise control even at low-pressure
settings and the pitot tube also creates a dynamic
boost that helps provide greater capacity.
• Speed of Response—The downstream pressure is
sensed directly by the diaphragm through the pitot
tube providing quick response.
• Ease of Installation—The Type Y692 is easy
to install in the pipeline because no additional
connections are required.
