The Equilibar® back pressure regulator is an excit-ing breakthrough in precision pressure control.Designed for critical and demanding processes, the
patented Equilibar® oers unmatched precisionacross a wide range of pressures and ow rates.
How the Equilibar Back PressureRegulator Works
The Equilibar® Precision Back Pressure Regulatorworks like a uid transistor by forming a uniqueforce balance on a exible diaphragm betweenthree separate pressures.
The uid inlet pressure and the downstream outletpressure exist on the wetted side of the diaphragm.The pilot set-point applies pressure on the non-wetted side.
The lower pressure of the outlet tries to hold thediaphragm in a leak-tight seal with the orices.However, any slight excess between the uid inletpressure and the pilot set-point pressure quicklyoverwhelms these seating forces and pulls the dia-phragm away from the orices.
The pilot set-point pressure acts in a 1:1 ratio to setthe pressure to be controlled on the inlet port. Asshown at right, this pilot pressure can be supplied byeither an electro-pneumatic regulator or a manualregulator.
Traditional backpressure regulators use springs togradually open up as the overpressure is used tocompress the spring.
The Equilibar back pressure regulator uses only a
frictionless fexible diaphragm to modulate the pre-sure. It fully opens in less than 1% overpressure inmost applications. Our multiple orices allow us tocontrol over incredibly wide ow rate ratios - over1000:1 ratios in most applications - and handle twophase ows.
Equilibar back pressure technology is protected byUS and foreign patents.

Pressure Stability and Precision
Over Varying Flow
Equilibar regulators feature ultra sensitive dia-phragm operated back pressure technology thatis able to control pressure with high precisionover a wide range of ows. Most back pressureregulators vary signfcantly with changes inprocess ow. The stability of the Equilibar regu-lator is unmatched in the industry.

Example of Liquid Pump Control Applications
The FD series is specically designed for a variety
of gas, mixed phased and liquid applicationswhere high precision and sanitary or crevice freeinternals are a must.
An example of a typical liquid pump control appli-cation can be seen in the schematic on the left. Thedual inlet port allows for easy inline mounting fromthe pump to the application.
