Installation, Service and Parts Information
Purpose
Modulates flow of refrigerant gas or liquid to maintain a constant
upstream (or inlet) pressure as set-for, despite load fluctuations.
The fluid temperature range for the A4 Series of Regulators is -45°C
to 105°C (-50°F to 220°F).
Principles of Operation (See Fig. 1)

The inlet pressure enters the space under the diaphragm through
passage N. When the force created by the pressure exceeds the force
of the range spring, the diaphragm is lifted off the pilot seat allowing
pressure to enter on top of the power piston. This causes the power
piston to move downward forcing the modulating plug to open and
modulate to maintain constant inlet pressure. An increase in inlet
pressure lifts the diaphragm further, allowing more pressure on top of
the power piston and opening the valve wider. A decrease in inlet
pressure causes the diaphragm to move closer to the pilot seat
reducing the pressure on the top of the power piston and causing the
closing spring to reduce the valve opening. The pressure on top of the
power piston is controlled by the flow through the pilot seat and the
