The reactor pressure is based on the takeoff valve position.
Abstract:
A pressure regulator for liquid media includes a through-flow path which extends between two connections for a medium-conducting line. The through-flow path is equipped with a valve seat which can be released or closed by a closing element that is mounted in a movable manner between a closing position and a release position. A wear of the closing element and/or the valve seat can be monitored during ongoing operations using a wear sensor device.

This invention relates to a method and system for increasing the utilization of the supply of acetylene from two acetylene sources. The flow is provided at a substantially constant delivery pressure to a point of use, such as a customer point of use. A portable apparatus is configured to operably connect to each of the two acetylene sources simultaneously and during operation automatically provide flow from one of the acetylene sources through various valving and piping assembled onto the portable apparatus followed by supply to a customer point of use.

Abstract:
A room pressure controlling system having a local exhaust valve, a supply air valve, a common exhaust air valve, controllers and a differential pressure sensor. The controller calculates a correction control output value for the valve operated as the room pressure controlling valve, which is either the supply air valve or the common exhaust air valve, based on a setting value and a room pressure measured by the differential pressure sensor. The controller evaluates whether or not the supply airflow rate and/or the exhaust airflow rate is changing, and if an airflow rate is changing, emphasizes rapid responsiveness of the room pressure control than a reduction in the frequency of actuation of the room pressure controlling valve, if the airflow rate is stable, the controller emphasizes the reduction in the frequency of actuation of the room pressure controlling valve than the rapid responsiveness of the room pressure control.
