Tank Pressure Regulator Valve

Tank pressure regulator valves suitable for tanks up to a working capacity of 12000 hl

The Alfa Laval SB Tank Pressure Regulator maintains and regulates top pressure on pressure tanks during filling, processing and emptying. It usually connects directly to the gas/CIP pipe leading to the tank top or is incorporated into a flow panel. The regulator can be integrated with a SCANDI BREW® tank top system.

Concept

The Tank Pressure Regulator is typically used on tanks within the brewing industry. The purpose of the regulator is to maintain and regulate top pressure on pressure tanks during filling, processing and emptying.

Working principle

The valve unit is supplied with variable setting, the relieving pressure is adjusted to the required working pressure in the tank. When tank top pressure exceeds preset pressure, gas leaves the regulator through the vent port either for atmospheric discharge or for collection. If the tank top pressure decreases, gas is supplied through the gas supply connection at the bottom.

Standard design

The pressure regulator comprises a single valve unit including pressure exhaust valve, pressure supply valve and connection for pressure gauge. On top is a vent port with outlet connection. Tank connection at side branch is normally connected to the pipe leading to the tank top. It is also possible to incorporate the Tank Pressure Regulator in a flow panel.
