The function of PRV is to supply gas at set pressure as per the design conditions. Suppose the upstream O2 pressure is 30 Bar and we need constant pressure of 12 Bar down stream. So we need a microprocessor controlled PRV to sense the down stream pressure and always it will close or maintain the system pressure to set value of 12 bar.
It is to be noted that initial pressurization to be done very slowly by operating the PRV manually and when the pressure is equal then put it in Auto.

∙ 9y agoA pressure reducing valve is used to reduce the pressure on a fluid for use at a designed operating pressure at the final end user. Fluids are often generated and transported through systems at a higher pressure than needed by the user, in order to reduce the effects of pipe friction (pressure loss) in carrying it to the user from the source (producer).

What is difference between pressure reducing valve and pressure relief valve?
pressure relief valve relief the excess pressure which is developed in the syatem, while pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure and supply it to the system.
How do you check if reducing valve works?
The easiest way is to install two pressure gauges (If reducing pressure) either side of the reducing valve, you will then have indication of upstream pressure and down stream pressure, of which you can adjust to suit you process.
What is the difference between pressure relief valve and pressure reducing valve?
nothing, its just terminology why A pressure relief valve is a safety device to prevent over pressure in such things as compressor receivers. A pressure reducing valve drops the pressure to the requirements of the user or tool. Such as a demand valve on scuba gear.
How can you tell if a pressure reducing valve is defective?
If your pressure exceeds the setting of the PRV or is below the setting
What is the purpose of the pressure regulation valve?
To regulate the pressure to a pre-determined amount.

What is the difference between a pressure regulator valve and a pressure reducing valve?
Pressure reducing valve reduces the pressure of fluid upto a predetermined pressure in this case downstream pressure will be obviously lower than upstream pressure but in case of pressure regulating valve it will regulate the pressure( either increase or decrease) depending on the requirement of system at that time.
What is the purpose of geyser pressure valve?
The purpose of a pressure relief valve in a geyser is to release the pressure created inside due to evaporation of water.
What is the purpose of a pressure regulating valve?
it controls the pressure
How do you reduce or increase water pressure on a grass sprinkler?
With a pressure booster pump or a Pressure reducing valve

If the water pressure level in the house is too high how do you lower it?
Install a pressure reducing valve
What is the purpose of the pressure regulation valve?
To regulate the pressure to a pre-determined amount.
Can a ball valve be used to throttle flow?
no it can't , valves you can use are a prv pressure reducing valve or a globe or flow valve
What is the function of a pressure reducing valve?
A hydraulic pressure reducing valve works by allowing hydraulic fluid to be released. This hydraulic fluid is then chambered separately until it is needed again. The valve is turned either left or right to either build pressure or take pressure away.
