Key Benefits and Advantages
-
Unmatched Application Flexibility: With a wide variety of body sizes and end connections, the CS400 can be seamlessly integrated into diverse piping architectures, from small commercial meters to light industrial fuel lines.
-
Field Convertible Sensing: These regulators can be easily converted from internal to external pressure sensing. This feature is particularly valuable for wide-open monitor constructions where secondary overpressure protection is required.
-
Precision Billing Accuracy: Features Fixed Factor and Pressure Factor Measurement (PFM) accuracy capabilities, ensuring consistent outlet pressure that facilitates accurate gas metering and efficient burner performance.
-
Robust Material Selection: Available in gray cast iron, ductile iron, and steel body materials, allowing the regulator to meet various regional safety codes and environmental requirements.
-
Hydrogen Ready: Standard CS400 units are designed to handle up to a 25% hydrogen blend by volume. For applications requiring 100% hydrogen service, specialized configurations are available to support the transition to clean energy.
-
Simplified Maintenance: The CS400 is designed for ease of service. Only standard tools are required for pressure adjustments or for removing the orifice, which reduces the time and training needed for field technicians.
-
Comprehensive Overpressure Protection: Offers multiple internal and external protection options, including internal relief and slam-shut capabilities, to ensure system safety and regulatory compliance.
Technical Properties
-
Operation: Direct-operated and spring-loaded for immediate response to changes in downstream demand.
-
Registration: Option for internal or external pressure registration to suit the specific sensing requirements of the installation.
-
Body Sizes: Covers a broad range of standard commercial pipe diameters.
-
End Connections: Available in both threaded and flanged configurations to match existing infrastructure.
-
Ease of Inspection: The design allows for quick access to the diaphragm and valve trim, simplifying routine inspections and extending the overall service life of the unit.
Field of Application
The CS400 Series is the workhorse for commercial-scale gas regulation. Its ability to provide stable pressure across varying flow rates makes it ideal for facilities with fluctuating gas loads.
Primary Industries and Uses:
-
Commercial Gas Service: Providing reliable pressure reduction for schools, hospitals, and retail complexes.
-
Light Industrial Process: Stable fuel gas supply for small boilers, industrial ovens, and heat-treating furnaces.
-
Wide-Open Monitoring: Serving as a primary or secondary regulator in safety-critical monitoring systems.
-
Hydrogen Infrastructure: Supporting the blending of hydrogen into existing natural gas networks.
