Filter arrangement at a pressure regulator

摘要

A compact arrangement and method for removing particulate generated by a fluid pressure regulator including location of a filter element within the pressure regulator or substantially adjacent thereto. Location of the filter element downstream of the regulating member and valve seat is disclosed. The fluid pressure regulator can be adapted to allow replacement of the filter element. The filter element and corresponding filter receiving space can be configured to account for different fluid flow ranges and particulate removal ratings.
