Mooney* Handloader Regulator

This small volume, high pressure regulator has become the standard of industry and science. These instruments
are often referred to as “Loaders” because of their many years of extensive use maintaining constant, extremely
accurate pressure control in the “loading” of dome regulators. However, their accuracy, trouble-free perfor­mance, and versatility have led to hundreds of other applications in static, mobile and airborne services. They
are used in component testing, hydraulic and pneumatic operator systems, safety relief valve actuation, critical
rocket fuel transfer and pressurizing problems encountered in missiles and space vehicle projects, to name only
a few.

Mooney* Mity-Mite Regulator

The Pressure Reducing Mity-Mite is a direct acting, self-contained gas dome regulator of compact design,
weighing approximately 2 lbs. These regulators have a set of integral needle valves for internal dome loading
for gas service. An auxiliary connection is provided in the dome for external dome loading. This port is used
for those applications where the line fluid is a liquid and the dome must be externally loaded from a separate
source of gas pressure, also used for those situations where it is desirable to set the reference dome pressure
form a remote point by means of a Mooney* series 15, combination reducing and relief regulator. Control
pressure is sensed within the regulator.

The Back Pressure Mity-Mite is a an extremely simple, angle
pattern regulator having only one moving part. The diaphragm
senses upstream pressure on the underside and is balanced by
dome pressure on the upper side. In addition, the diaphragm
serves as the valve seal, closing on a nozzle which is an
integral part of the body. This regulator acts to limit upstream
pressure and has no control over outlet pressure. Unlike relief
valves, this unit is designed for continuous throttling service,
maintaining the upstream system pressure between two
pressure levels.

All Mity-Mite back pressure regulators have externally loaded
domes and may be used to control either gases or liquids
providing such fluids do not react chemically with the wetted
regulator materials. The dome must be charged with gas to a
pressure of approximately the desired back pressure setting.
Two connections are provided in the dome. One is intended for
the attachment of a gauge and the other is for dome charging
purposes. An assortment of double needle valve loading
assemblies are available for this purpose as options. Please
contact GE Oil & Gas for details.

Mooney* Powreactor Dome Regulator

The Mooney* Powreactors are direct-acting, self-contained, dome-loaded, pressure reducing regulators.
Control pressure sensing is normally accomplished within the Powreactor without the need for external tubing
and valves. This achieves a clean silhouette and minimum envelope size while also making the Powreactor
capable of sustaining much rougher handling than the average regulator.

10 | GE Oil & Gas

As you consider the proper regulator for your application,
please consider the balanced and unbalanced valve
configurations that are available for the Mooney* Specialty
Regulator.

In Unbalanced Valves, the inlet pressure beneath the valve
adds the force needed to open the valve. As the inlet pressure
decreases, the force on the valve decreases, allowing the
valve to open more freely and resulting in higher downstream
pressure. Balanced Valves reduce this effect by equalizing
the pressure above and below the valve, allowing greater
consistency in downstream pressure as the upstream

pressure varies.

Also, consider which outlet pressure sensing configuration is
best for your application. The choices are External Sensing or

Internal Sensing.

The normal configuration of the Mooney* regulator is Internal
Sensing. This method conveys outlet pressure to the bottom

of the diaphragm through an internal sensing passage. This
method provides quick response and accurate control.

Sometimes high-pressure drops across the regulator can
cause turbulence at the outlet port resulting in inaccurate
sensing of the true outlet pressure. This makes the External
Sensing configuration the better choice as the outlet sensing
point is moved away from the turbulence.

Models 202B, 212B, 301B, 311B, 402F, 412F, and 411B can be
converted to external sensing by plugging the internal sense
passage and connecting a tube between the sense volume
and downstream piping.

Dome Loading Methods

Dome regulators use gas pressure instead of a spring force
to push down on the diaphragm to establish an outlet set
pressure. A pressure down stream that is lower than the
dome pressure results in the diaphragm being pushed
down which opens the valve. Conversely, the valve closes
as the outlet increases above the dome pressure.

The dome loading methods include the use of internal load­ing needle valves or by the use of a Model 15 Handloader
or other method. By using the Model 15 Handloader,
compensation for variations of pressure changes caused
by increased temperature is carried out by venting gas out
of the dome. Any decrease in dome pressure is maintained
by set point of the Model 15 by adding gas to the dome.

Dome Loaded Regulator uses include:



Propellant transfer systems (pressurization prefabs)



Fuel tank pressurization (test stands)

GE’s Mooney Regulators | 17

Regulator Selection Considerations:



Is the flow media liquid or gas?



Is it for pressure reducing or back pressure service?



What is the minimum and maximum inlet pressure?



What is the minimum and maximum outlet pressure?



What is the specific gravity of the media?



What is the minimum and maximum flow rate?



What are the connection requirements?



Other considerations:

 Unbalanced Effect = Outlet pressure change affected by the inlet pressure.
 Lockup = Normal pressure rise above set pressure required to shut off flow

through the regulator

• Larger diaphragms and smaller valves have lower lockup pressures

 Droop = As flow increases through the regulator, the outlet pressure decreases

• Large diaphragms and small orifices have lower droop

Whether it is the simple operation of the Handloader, the compact Mity-Mite or the configurable
Powreactor, the Mooney* Specialty Regulators provide a stellar history of performance in the
most demanding industrial, laboratory, aero space and defense applications.

Pressure Reducing

For pressure reducing applications, the Mooney* Specialty Regulator line are typically
used for high inlet pressure applications but they work equally well for low inlet
pressures. As seen below, their simple yet durable direct acting design senses down
stream pressure and delivers accurate pressure control over a wide range of inlet
pressures and volumes.

Back Pressure

The back pressure versions of the Mooney* Specialty Regulator line provide
the same reliability and proven performance and operate by sensing
upstream pressure and throttling the valves to maintain inlet pressure.
