A fuel vapor pressure regulator by which the input pressure of an input fluid is regulated by the opening and closing of a valve unit controlled by a piston pressure sensor, the operation of which is, in turn, controlled by a movement of a preset bias, the output pressure of the fluid delivered by the regulator, and a biasing pressure that reflects the operating demands of the utilization unit to which the fluid is delivered.

A pressure-reducing regulator comprising a regulator body having an inlet port, an outlet port, and a flow path. A valve element is moved relative to a valve seat by a diaphragm assembly to control gas flow along the flow path. The regulator comprises one or more of: (a) a coalescing filter mounted in the inlet port, (b) the diaphragm assembly coupled to the valve element via a resilient member, (c) a diaphragm chamber comprising a non-constant depth in the regulator body along its diameter, (d) an aspirator tube extending into the outlet port from a passage between the diaphragm chamber and the outlet port, or (e) the valve seat comprising an inner seat and a protective covering over the inner seat.

A valve for a fuel pressure regulator includes a shaft defining a longitudinal axis. The shaft has a protuberance defining a mating surface that is positionable against a valve seat of the regulator and a flow surface that intersects the mating surface. A first angle is defined between the mating surface and a plane that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. A second angle is defined between the flow surface and a plane that is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The first angle and the second angle are both oblique with respect to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

High pressure natural gas enters the regulator at the inlet port and is directed through a filter to a passage in the valve body and into the inner chamber of the valve body. The valve means which controls the high pressure gas as it expands past a valve seat and into the low pressure chamber of the regulator body, is spring mounted in a bushing to prevent undesired vibrations. The expanded and colder low pressure natural gas is directed through a nozzle to the outlet port of the regulator body. The outlet port has a bypass orifice that leads to the diaphragm chamber. Pressure variations in the diaphragm chamber control the movement of the valve means coupled to the diaphragm means.

The valving element is positively tied to a pressure-sensing and -responsive diaphragm, via a diaphragm-carried insert. The connection is so arranged as to permit relative angular displacement, between the valving element and the diaphragm, so that cocking of the element, in its axial movement, will not occur. The gas filter is formed of a sintered plastic to avoid corrosion and flaking off of metallic particles. An aspirator hole communicates the diaphragm with the low-pressure chamber outlet, but has an artificially lower pressure, than the outlet pressure, introduced to the diaphragm, through the use of an ejector nozzle. A hole formed in the bonnet establishes atmospheric pressure above the diaphragm, but a porous plug in the hole prevents any ingestion of water, from puddle-splashing, take up from wet roads, and the like.

The valving element is positively tied to the diaphragm, through a diaphragm-carried insert which has a flow-accommodating groove formed therein to facilitate instant outlet pressure following a gas supply shut off. Too, the valving element cooperates with internal structures to define spaced apart seating and sealing areas which boundary between high and low pressures of the natural gas, and the magnitudes and directions of the differential pressures are balanced at the seating and sealing areas, and maintained in balance regardless of how inlet and outlet gas pressures vary.
