Pilot Descriptions
The EZH and EZHSO Series pressure reducing
regulators include a PRX Series pilot mounted on the
EZH and EZHSO Series main valves for pressure-
reducing or monitoring applications. PRX Series
pressure reducing pilots have the ability to handle a
wide range of setpoints from 14.5 to 1160 psig /
1.00 to 80.0 bar.
Type PRX/120: Outlet pressure range of 14.5 to
435 psig / 1.00 to 30.0 bar. The Type PRX/120 can be
used as the pilot on single stage pressure reducing
regulators, as the monitor pilot or as the working pilot
in wide-open monitor systems or as the working pilot
for monitoring and working regulators in the working
monitoring systems.
Type PRX/120-AP: Outlet pressure range of 435 to
1160 psig / 30.0 to 80.0 bar. The Type PRX/120-AP can
be used as the pilot on single stage pressure reducing
regulators, as the monitor pilot or as the working pilot
in wide-open monitor systems or as the working pilot
for monitoring and working regulators in the working
monitoring systems.
Type PRX/125: Identical to the Type PRX/120 except
the restriction screw is removed. The Type PRX/125
can only be used as the monitor override pilot on
working monitor applications.
Type PRX/125-AP: Identical to the Type PRX/120-AP
except the restriction screw is removed. The
Type PRX/125-AP can only be used as the monitor
override pilot on working monitor applications.
Pilot Supply Filter Regulator
The Type SA/2 pilot supply lter regulator provides a
constant supply pressure to the PRX Series pilot that
is approximately 45 psig / 3.1 bar over set pressure.
The Type SA/2 has an integral 5-micron lter.
Principle of Operation
Type EZH - Spring-To-Close Version
Type EZH Single-Pilot Regulator
The pilot-operated Type EZH (Spring-to-Close
Version) will fail in close position in the case of main
valve diaphragm failure or lack of supply pressure to
the pilot (see Table 4 for Failure Mode Analyses).
The pilot-operated Type EZH (Spring-to-Close Version)
(Figure 2) uses inlet pressure as the operating
medium, which is reduced through pilot operation
to load the regulator actuator diaphragm (lower
chamber). Outlet or downstream pressure opposes
loading pressure in the actuator and also opposes the
pilot control spring.
Pilot is supplied with pressure coming from pre-
regulator Type SA/2, which reduces inlet pressure to
the constant value of outlet pressure plus approximately
45 psi / 3.1 bar.
When outlet pressure drops below the setting of the
pilot control spring, pilot control spring force on the pilot
lower diaphragm opens the pilot valve disk, providing
additional loading pressure to the lower chamber of the
regulator actuator diaphragm. This diaphragm loading
pressure opens the main valve disk, supplying the
required ow to the downstream system. Any excess
loading pressure in the lower chamber of the actuator
diaphragm and on Type PRX escapes downstream
through the bleed restriction in the pilot.
When the gas demand in the downstream system
has been satised, the outlet pressure increases.
The increased pressure is transmitted through the
downstream control line and acts under the lower pilot
diaphragm. This pressure exceeds the pilot spring
setting and moves the Type PRX lower diaphragm,
closing the orice and interrupting the loading pressure
supply to the lower chamber of the regulator actuator
diaphragm. The excess loading pressure acting under
the regulator actuator diaphragm and on the Type PRX
lower pilot bleeds to the downstream system through a
bleed restriction in the pilot.
A check valve, set at 75 psi / 5.2 bar is installed
between outlet pressure and loading pressure impulse
lines; this valve will protect the main valve diaphragm
assembly from excessive differential pressure during
startup if incorrect start up procedures are used.
Do not exceed 75 psi / 5.2 bar differential pressure
between the outlet pressure and loading pressure
impulse lines.
Type EZHSO - Spring-To-Open Version
Type EZHSO Single-Pilot Regulator
The pilot-operated Type EZHSO (Spring-to-Open
version) will fail in open position in the case of main
valve diaphragm failure or lack of supply pressure to
the pilot (see Table 4 for Failure Mode Analyses).
