    The document describes how a gas pressure regulator controls gas pressure to a carburetor relative to air pressure. It explains that the fuel flow is determined by the pressure differential between gas and air pressures. It details the components of the regulator including a diaphragm, spring, lever and valve that work to maintain an accurate gas pressure adjustment as the load increases.

    Gas Pressure Regulator


    SMCS - 1270

    The gas pressure regulator controls the gas pressure to the carburetor relative to the air pressure to
    the carburetor.

    The fuel flow is determined by the pressure differential between the gas pressure and the air
    pressure. Usually, the pressure of the gas must be greater than the air pressure.

    To maintain an accurate adjustment of the gas pressure to the carburetor, balance line (4) is
    connected to the inlet of the carburetor. This causes the pressure on the air side of diaphragm (6)
    to be equal to the pressure in the carburetor.

    Spring (3) and the air pressure in chamber (1) presses on diaphragm (6). The movement operates
    lever (8) at pivot pin (9). The lever moves valve stem (10) and valve (11). This allows gas from
    inlet (12) to enter chamber (7). The valve stops opening when the gas pressure in chamber (7)
    under the diaphragm is equal to the force from the spring and the pressure in chamber (1). The gas
    exits the regulator through outlet (5) .

    The pressure of the gas from the regulator is adjusted with screw (2). The pressure must be
    adjusted for the type of carburetor.

    As the load increases, the governor opens the throttle plate further. This reduces the pressure on
    the gas side of the diaphragm. The spring and the air pressure open the gas valve. The gas valve
    opens until the pressure under the diaphragm is balanced again with the forces of the spring and
    pressure from the balance line on top of the diaphragm.
