SPRINGLESS REGULATOR

摘要

A regulator includes a housing having an inlet, an outlet, and a chamber. The regulator also includes a barrier assembly disposed within the housing, and the barrier assembly includes a first portion moveable relative to the chamber, and a second potion configured to selectively fluidly connect the inlet to the chamber. The regulator further includes a head removably connected to the chamber. The head forms at least part of a first gap extending from the head to a first side of the first portion of the barrier assembly. In such an embodiment, the first gap is characterized by a first fluid pressure biasing the barrier assembly in a first direction away from the head. Additionally, the first portion includes a second side opposite the first side, and the second side forms at least part of a second gap extending from the second side to a base of the chamber. The second gap is characterized by a second fluid pressure, and the first portion is moveable in response to a change in the second fluid pressure.
