ATMOSPHERIC REGULATOR (ZERO GOVERNOR)

This type of regulator is loaded by the controlled air pressure rather than by spring pressure and gives an outlet pressure at "A" equal to the pressure at "L" plus or minus the effect of the spring "S" adjustment. This type of regulator is shipped with spring set "Neutral", just supporting the internals. The balancing diaphragm minimizes the effect of inlet pressure changes on outlet pressure.
