ABSTRACT:
In a method and apparatus for maintaining substantially constant delivery of a fluid pressure medium at lowered pressure from a supply pipe to a utilizing device, the fluid pressure medium is fed through a branch pipe to the device via a prime mover, such as a turbine, which provides the desired pressure drop. If the pressure in the supply pipe falls below a predetermined level, the lowered output of the prime mover is sensed and a shut-off valve in the branch pipe is closed and a press-reducing valve is opened in a bypass pipe connecting the supply pipe to the utilizing device. A flowmeter in the bypass pipe serves to detect rate of flow therein and, upon exceeding of a predetermined rate of flow, to close the pressure-reducing valve and to open the shut-off valve.
