Installation

WARNING

When installing a Swagelok®self-venting regulator, position the vent connection or line away

from operating personnel. Operating personnel must protect themselves from exposure to system

fluids.

CAUTION

Do not use the regulators as a shutoff device.

The preferred mounting position of the regulator is horizontal with the dome facing upwards.

If grounding is required, connect a ground wire under a dome bolt.

Filling the dome

The dome can be filled using manual or electronic loading.

Manual loading:

This can be done by taking the gas pressure from the system and feeding this through a spring

loaded pilot regulator into the dome. This is shown in sketch A.

In liquid systems the gas pressure for manual dome loading can be taken from a cylinder or mains.

This is shown in sketch B.

Substituting the spring loaded pilot regulator for a proportional control valve and a pressure sensor,

allows you to control the pressure electronically.

Electronic loading:

This can be done by taking the gas pressure from the system and feeding this through a proportional

control valve into the dome. This is shown in sketch C.

This method can be used for low and medium-pressure systems.

This can be done by taking the gas pressure from the system and feeding this through a proportional

controlled ratio regulator into the dome. This is shown in sketch D.

This method can be used for high-pressure systems.

The best results will be achieved by allowing a small flow to continuously pass through the pilot regulator.

This flow can either be vented or, in gas systems, fed back through an orifice into the downstream piping.

This is usually referred to as “dynamic regulation”.

It is not recommended to place a gauge on the dome to set or check the outlet pressure.

Because of forces in the regulator, the dome pressure will always be higher than the outlet

pressure. Place a gauge in the outlet line to set or check the outlet pressure.

External feedback

CAUTION

When using the regulator with external feedback, make sure that the outlet pressure can be

fed back to the external feedback connection before applying pressure to the regulator.

Failing to do so may lead to damage and non-functioning of the regulator as the inlet

pressure will be put straight through to the outlet.

The purpose of the external feedback on a pressure regulator is to get a more accurate regulation of the

outlet pressure. This can be achieved by sensing the outlet pressure downstream of the regulator and

feeding it back to the regulator.

CAUTION

Never connect the external feedback line downstream of a shut-off valve.

Principle sketch of external feedback:

Operation

Make the final pressure setting in the direction of increasing pressure to obtain the most accurate set

points.

Once fluid is flowing through the system, fine tuning may be required.

Icing of the regulator at high flow rates or high pressure drops may occur if the gaseous media or

atmosphere contains moisture.

An auxiliary upstream filter is recommended for use in all but the cleanest of media.

Installation of a downstream pressure relief is recommended for regulator and system protection.

If the shut-off valve at the outlet side is closed after changing the set pressure, the outlet pressure will

rise a little because of the closing force required for bubble-tight closing of the regulator.

This phenomenon is usually referred to as the “lock-up” and does not indicate a problem with the

regulator.

A decrease in the flow will result in a rise of the outlet pressure.

An increase in the flow will result in a fall of the outlet pressure and is usually referred to as the

“droop”.

This phenomenon does not indicate a problem with the regulator.

A decrease of the inlet pressure will result in a rise of the outlet pressure.

An increase of the inlet pressure will result in a fall of the outlet pressure.

This phenomenon is usually referred to as the “dependency” and does not indicate a problem with

the regulator.

Each regulator type has its own dependency, which is related to the ratio between the effective seat area

and the sensing area.

Dependency Ratio’s LPRD20, 25, 30 & 40

Type Dependency

ratio

0.1-1 bar (PR2) 1/920

LPRD20

LPRSN4 0.3-2 bar (PR3) 1/920

0.1-1 bar 1/800

LPRD25

0.1-1 bar 1/420

LPRD30

LPRSN4 0.3-2 bar 1/420

0.1-1 bar 1/520

LPRD40

LPRSN4 0.3-2 bar 1/520

The approximate change can be calculated as shown below:

ΔP2 = ratio x ΔP1

A ratio of 1/X means that for every pressure change to P1 of X bar, the P2 pressure will change 1 bar:

Changing the set pressure

Check the supply of medium at the inlet side.

CAUTION

When using the LPRD20, 25, 30 or LPRD40 with an inlet pressure higher than 2 bar, a safety

valve must be installed in the outlet line, because the outlet pressure may not exceed 2 bar.

Make sure the inlet pressure is higher than the required outlet pressure and that the inlet

pressure does not exceed the maximum allowed inlet pressure. Open the shut-off valve at the

inlet side.

Open the shut-off valve at the outlet side slightly to allow a minimal flow.

Controlled outlet pressure settings are obtained by adjusting the pressure in the dome.

Increasing the pressure in the dome raises the outlet pressure while decreasing the pressure

in the dome lowers the outlet pressure.

Notice

A shut-off valve on the outlet side must be opened to relief the pressure on the outlet side.

Final adjustment must be made while increasing the pressure in the dome to obtain the most

accurate set point(s).

Open the shut-off valve at the outlet side to allow full flow during operation.

Maintenance

Required tools for maintenance

a vice to fasten the regulator

pincers to take out the O-rings

a pair of tongs for a retaining ring 95 mm (LPRD20&25 only)

a pair of tongs for a retaining ring 140 mm (LPRD30&40 only)

a torque wrench

a torque wrench hexagon head key 10 mm for the body plug (LPRD30&40 only)

a torque wrench hexagon head key 5 mm for the dome cover bolts

a torque wrench “open-end insert tool”, 46 mm for the body plug (LPRD20&25 only)

open-end spanners 11/16, 3/4 and 7/8 inch(for compression fittings)

open-end spanners 10 and 17 mm (for dome cover nuts and dome screw)

media and temperature compatible lubricant for reassembling threaded parts

media and temperature compatible lubricant for O-rings

Snoop®liquid leak detector

Notice

A shut-off valve on the outlet side must be opened to relief the pressure on the outlet side.

Disassembly instructions

Loosen the hexagon socket head screws and remove the dome cover.

Lift out the diaphragm, along with the diaphragm plates/ -screw

Loosen the body plug and remove the valve assembly, valve spring and seat.

Inspection of disassembled parts

Check all parts for abnormal wear. Replace parts in case of doubt.

Points of attention before assembly

All parts must be clean and undamaged before starting assembly.

Swagelok recommends replacing all O-rings and the diaphragm before assembly.

All threaded parts must be lightly lubricated before assembly, this to avoid galling of threads.

All O-rings need to be lightly lubricated to improve the lifetime of the O-ring and the performance of

the regulator.

Assembly instructions

Follow the points for disassembly in reverse order to assemble the regulator.

Recommended torques

CAUTION

Only tighten the bolts or parts if the regulator is completely depressurized.

Hexagon socket head screws M12 (body plug) 50 N·m (442 in.·lb) (LPRD30&40 only)

Body plug 50 N·m (442 in.·lb) (LPRD20&25 only)

Dome cover screws M6 15 N·m (132 in.·lb)

Testing

Check the regulator for leakage across the seat, with low- and high inlet pressure.

Check the regulator for leakage across the connectors and plugs, with low- and high inlet pressure.

Check the regulator for leakage across the diaphragm, with low- and high outlet pressure.

Notice

When using the LPRD20, 25, 30 or LPRD40 with an inlet pressure higher than 2 bar, a safety

valve must be installed in the outlet line, because the outlet pressure may not exceed 2 bar.

A well performing regulator is 100% bubble tight.
