Rõhugeregulaator
Rõhugeregulaator, also known as a pressure regulator, is a mechanical device that controls and maintains a constant outlet pressure from a variable inlet pressure. It works by balancing the force of the incoming fluid pressure against a spring or a diaphragm mechanism. When the outlet pressure drops below a set point, the spring or diaphragm moves, opening a valve to allow more fluid to flow in and increase the pressure. Conversely, if the outlet pressure rises too high, the spring or diaphragm moves to restrict the flow, reducing the pressure. This automatic adjustment ensures a stable and usable pressure downstream of the regulator, regardless of fluctuations in the supply line. Rõhugeregulaatorid are commonly used in various applications, including domestic water systems, industrial gas lines, pneumatic tools, and automotive fuel systems. They are essential for protecting equipment from over-pressurization and for ensuring consistent performance of devices that rely on a specific pressure level. The selection of a rõhugeregulaator depends on factors such as the required flow rate, the pressure range, and the type of fluid being controlled.
