ABSTRACT:
A gas control apparatus with a pressure regulator selectively controls the setpoint of the regulator by an electrical current between a minimum and a maximum value of the gas outlet pressure. A diaphragm of the regulator is exposed to the pressure to be controlled and carries a closure member of a bleed valve. A control spring for determining the setpoint of the gas pressure acts between the diaphragm and an adjustable abutment. A solenoid actuator acts between a valve rod of a switch-on valve located between an inlet of the apparatus and the regulator and the abutment. A reset spring for the armature of the actuator acts between a stationary abutment and the armature to engage the armature after the armature has opened the switch-on valve. Thus, the solenoid actuator responds to an electrical current to control the operation of the switch-on valve to provide an inlet pressure for the regulator. The minimum and maximum setpoint levels can be separately adjusted by adjusting stops for the armature while the slope of the pressure/current characteristic is adjusted by adjusting a tension of the reset spring of the armature.
