The Equilibarreg back pressure regulator is an excit-ing breakthrough in precision pressure control Designed for critical and demanding processes the patented Equilibarreg offers unmatched precision across a wide range of pressures and flow rates
How the Equilibar Back Pressure Regulator Works
The Equilibarreg Precision Back Pressure Regulator works like a fluid transistor by forming a unique force balance on a flexible diaphragm between three separate pressures
The fluid inlet pressure and the downstream outlet pressure exist on the wetted side of the diaphragm The pilot set-point applies pressure on the non-wetted side
The lower pressure of the outlet tries to hold the diaphragm in a leak-tight seal with the orifices However any slight excess between the fluid inlet pressure and the pilot set-point pressure quickly overwhelms these seating forces and pulls the dia-phragm away from the orifices
The pilot set-point pressure acts in a 11 ratio to set the pressure to be controlled on the inlet port As shown at right this pilot pressure can be supplied by either an electro-pneumatic regulator or a manual regulator
Traditional backpressure regulators use springs to gradually open up as the overpressure is used to compress the spring
The Equilibar back pressure regulator uses only a frictionless flexible diaphragm to modulate the pre-sure It fully opens in less than 1 overpressure in most applications Our multiple orifices allow us to control over incredibly wide flow rate ratios - over 10001 ratios in most applications - and handle two phase flows

About Precision Back Pressure Regulators
Dramatic stability improvement
The Equilibarreg sets a new industry standard in pres-sure control This chart shows the superior flow stability of the Equilibarreg over the Tescom regulator
Note Due to the traditional spring actuated back pressure regulation the Tescom performance shows a significantly higher amount of overpressure than the Equilibarreg regulators over varying flow rates Traditional pressure regulators hold constant pres-sure until you vary the flow rate
Back Pressure Regulator vs Pressure Reducing Regulator
Pressure Reducing Regulators (PRRrsquos) are the most common type of regulator They reduce a higher up-stream pressure into a controlled lower downstream pressure A PRR opens to increase downstream pressure and closes to reduce it
A Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) works in the op-posite way controlling the upstream pressure Just like a relief valve a BPR closes to increase upstream pressure and opens to reduce it The Equilibar is a precision Back Pressure Regulator that is dome-loaded A fluid signal commands the regulator to control with a 11 ratio This signal is supplied via a manual or electronic pressure device
Precision over varying flow ranges
The inlet pressure of most back pressure regulators vary significantly with changes in process flow
The chart at right shows how the Equilibar regula-tor holds a constant process pressure even through widely varying flow rates The GS regulator can achieve as high as 100001 flow turn down ratios This is extremely useful in applications where the flow consumption varies significantly Pressure is maintained stable even with sudden spikes or drops in flow

Applications
There are hundreds of potential applications for the unique capabilities of the Equilibarreg The NL and NLB series is specifically designed liquid gas and mixed phase services
Applications span from ultra low flow rates to extreme high pressures By using unique combinations of diaphragms and o-ring materials Equilibarreg regulators are able to perform in the harshest environments that include high temperature and aggressive chemicals
Precision Control with Closed Loop Control
For most applications the Equilibarreg is precise enough to be used with a simple manual set-point pressure input However for some automation appli-cations it is useful to have closed loop control using an external pressure transmitter By using an electro-pneumatic regulator with external feedback it is pos-sible to match the reading of your process pressure transmitter exactly to your desired set-point
The Equilibarreg provides numerous benefits over traditional control valves in these closed-loop appli-cations Such benefits include extremely wide flow range ultra fast reaction times and ease of PID tun-ing

About Precision Back Pressure Regulators
Dramatic stability improvement
The Equilibarreg sets a new industry standard in pres-sure control This chart shows the superior flow stability of the Equilibarreg over the Tescom regulator
Note Due to the traditional spring actuated back pressure regulation the Tescom performance shows a significantly higher amount of overpressure than the Equilibarreg regulators over varying flow rates Traditional pressure regulators hold constant pres-sure until you vary the flow rate
Back Pressure Regulator vs Pressure Reducing Regulator
Pressure Reducing Regulators (PRRrsquos) are the most common type of regulator They reduce a higher up-stream pressure into a controlled lower downstream pressure A PRR opens to increase downstream pressure and closes to reduce it
A Back Pressure Regulator (BPR) works in the op-posite way controlling the upstream pressure Just like a relief valve a BPR closes to increase upstream pressure and opens to reduce it The Equilibar is a precision Back Pressure Regulator that is dome-loaded A fluid signal commands the regulator to control with a 11 ratio This signal is supplied via a manual or electronic pressure device
Precision over varying flow ranges
The inlet pressure of most back pressure regulators vary significantly with changes in process flow
The chart at right shows how the Equilibar regula-tor holds a constant process pressure even through widely varying flow rates The GS regulator can achieve as high as 100001 flow turn down ratios This is extremely useful in applications where the flow consumption varies significantly Pressure is maintained stable even with sudden spikes or drops in flow

Applications
There are hundreds of potential applications for the unique capabilities of the Equilibarreg The NL and NLB series is specifically designed liquid gas and mixed phase services
Applications span from ultra low flow rates to extreme high pressures By using unique combinations of diaphragms and o-ring materials Equilibarreg regulators are able to perform in the harshest environments that include high temperature and aggressive chemicals
Precision Control with Closed Loop Control
For most applications the Equilibarreg is precise enough to be used with a simple manual set-point pressure input However for some automation appli-cations it is useful to have closed loop control using an external pressure transmitter By using an electro-pneumatic regulator with external feedback it is pos-sible to match the reading of your process pressure transmitter exactly to your desired set-point
The Equilibarreg provides numerous benefits over traditional control valves in these closed-loop appli-cations Such benefits include extremely wide flow range ultra fast reaction times and ease of PID tun-ing

The Equilibarreg can precisely control the discharge pressure of virtually any type of pump by simply plac-ing the regulator in the return line back to the supply reservoir
Use an ectro-pneumatic regulator for the set-point signal for computer automation of your system pres-sure Or use a manual regulator as shown to the left for simple manual control of your system pressure
Pulse Generating Applications
The Equilibarrsquosreg unique frictionless direct sealing dia-phragm design gives it unprecedented capabilities to generate precision pulse waveforms with millisecond timing
Your PLC or computer control system can now create realtime pressure waveforms using any fluid and any pump
The system works by using an Electro-Pneumatic Regulator to command the pulse wave in air The Equilibar is able to mirror that same pressure wave-form into your process liquid

Applications
There are hundreds of potential applications for the unique capabilities of the Equilibarreg The NL and NLB series is specifically designed liquid gas and mixed phase services
Applications span from ultra low flow rates to extreme high pressures By using unique combinations of diaphragms and o-ring materials Equilibarreg regulators are able to perform in the harshest environments that include high temperature and aggressive chemicals
Precision Control with Closed Loop Control
For most applications the Equilibarreg is precise enough to be used with a simple manual set-point pressure input However for some automation appli-cations it is useful to have closed loop control using an external pressure transmitter By using an electro-pneumatic regulator with external feedback it is pos-sible to match the reading of your process pressure transmitter exactly to your desired set-point
The Equilibarreg provides numerous benefits over traditional control valves in these closed-loop appli-cations Such benefits include extremely wide flow range ultra fast reaction times and ease of PID tun-ing

Liquid Pump Pressure Control
The Equilibarreg can precisely control the discharge pressure of virtually any type of pump by simply plac-ing the regulator in the return line back to the supply reservoir
Use an ectro-pneumatic regulator for the set-point signal for computer automation of your system pres-sure Or use a manual regulator as shown to the left for simple manual control of your system pressure
Pulse Generating Applications
The Equilibarrsquosreg unique frictionless direct sealing dia-phragm design gives it unprecedented capabilities to generate precision pulse waveforms with millisecond timing
Your PLC or computer control system can now create realtime pressure waveforms using any fluid and any pump
The system works by using an Electro-Pneumatic Regulator to command the pulse wave in air The Equilibar is able to mirror that same pressure wave-form into your process liquid

Gas - Precision Pressure Supply
It is possible to use the Equilibar precision back pres-sure regulator as part of a precision pressure control system replacing less precise pressure reducing regulators
A flow control device meters a constant gas flow The Equilibar is able to vent any excess gas not required by your application The advantage is far greater precision across widely varying flow rates than by conventional regulators
Reactor Pressure Control Nitrogen Padding
The Equilibarreg makes it easy to control reactor pres-sure or to pad vessels with inert gases such as nitro-gen
Gas inflows to the vessel can be provided by any con-venient means The Equilibarrsquos superior flow range (up to 10001) and pressure window (down to 02 psi) gives the user a superior operating window Reference pressure set-point can be provided by the Equilibarreg LPR2 for pressures below 05 psi or by an electro-pneumatic regulator for easy computer auto-
