What does a furnace regulator do?
A furnace regulator helps to deliver a set pressure and flow rate of gas to the furnace so it burns in a stable condition.
Why is there water in your hot water cylinder tray?
There is either a leak or the pressure valve is blowing off sometimes. Check the heat regulator to make sure it is not set too high. Should be 132 max.
Is the water pressure regulator valve bad if there is no pressure change when you turn the bolt counter clockwise?
I'm assuming you are talking about a pressure regulator on a boiler, the bolt on top is just a locking/ jam nut. The regulator comes set at the factory for 12psi. The shaft threw the center has two notches and can be turned with a large flat screw driver, however useually if they are not bran new they wont turn and tere is rarely a need to.
What shoud the fuel pressure regulator be set at on a 1991 Chevy 4x4and im still using the fuel pump in the tank?
You need to hook a fuel pressure gauge to it and adjust the regulator so that you have 9 to 13 LBS, of fuel pressure. No lower are higher.
How do I correct fuel pressure too lean on Honda CRX?
install a fuel pressure regulator and set it to 36 psi idle in a stock motor
Does a gas pizza oven require a gas regulator?
No, you do not "need" a regulator. The oven will work without it. However, the regulator controls the gas pressure. I bought two pizza ovens recently. One had a regulator and got up to the 650 degrees I set it to. The other did not have a regulator and would not rise above 500 degrees.
Why won't an electric fuel pump work on an 1982 Camaro?
it will work but you have to use a pressure regulator in line so you can set the fuel pressure down to 6 psi. for the carburetor
What is a Pressure regulator valve?
A regulator is simply a valve with a preset pressure point that causes the valve to open and close. A pressure sensor (a diaphragm with an adjustable spring) is on the side of the valve that the pressure you want is on. When the desired pressure (we will use 50psi) is reached, it causes the diaphragm to expand against the spring.The diaphran is connected to the valve and when it expands, it closes the valve, letting no more pressure to build. when you flush a toilet or turn on the sink, the diaphragm contracts opening the valve wider and wider until enough water is flowing in to raise the pressure expanding the diaphragm to close the valve. the diaphragm is just like a ballon, the more pressure, the more it expands. the set screw on most regulators puts more or less pressure on the diaprham raising or lowering the amount of pressure needed to move the diaphragm enough to close the valve. do not confuse the regulator with the pressure switch on a pump system. they are not the same. the job of the regulator is to keep constant pressure in your system. the pressure switch on pumps works about the same but has two preset pressures. the first to turn a pump off when the desired pressure is reached and the second to turn it back on. the off pressure is always higher then the on pressure by about 10psi or your pump would be constantly turning on and off.
What if your town likes water pressure set at 80?
If you'd prefer lower pressure than 80, install a pressure reducing valve and set it down to desired pressure.
What is the purpose of having a back pressure valve in marine refrigeration system?
when two refrigerated spaces are severed by only one compresser & condenser but need to be maintained at different temps. a back pressure regulator comes into play. The back pressure regulator will be installed on the outlet of the refrigeration system to maintain a minimum back pressure in the evap coils. Since pressure is directly related to temp. then the temp. desired can be maintained by the pressure you set.
How does an acetylene regulator work?
The Acetylene Regulator on a pressure bottle is a simple spring and diaphram pressure regulator. What makes it special is 2 things: the material it is built of to prevent the gas from contacting anything it could react to and it is designed to operate only in the correct pressure range. It works by (it is a little more complicated but basicaly) haveing the spring and outlet pressure hold the inlet valve closed untill the pressure on the outlet side dropps below the set pressure. When it does the spring allows the valave to open. The spring tension is adjusted by a screw to increase or decrease the outlet pressure. The lower the outlet pressure gets the flow of the gas increases. The neat part is that the increase in flow will happen over a very small pressure drop. Usually less than 20% of the set pressure.
What is the water pressure in Alaska?
This is not answerable question. Each municipal system will have a water pressure set by the municipality and every single house system set by the individual doing the maintenance.
