LPG

Differential pressure control valves for LPG and NH3 applications

Differential pressure control valves can set-stop or shut off flow depending on the version and application in use. Most commonly these valves work in a system with a meter and a vapour eliminator with its behaviour being controlled by pressure differences or electrical signals. The digital ones are great assets in fuel terminal loading racks to ensure the correct amount of LPG is withdrawn.

Product description

The mechanical version prevents flashing and acts depending on evacuated vapour from the vapour eliminator based on the differential pressure between two points. The digital version uses solenoid valves to control the flow depending on digital inputs from a PLC/meter.
