AUTOMATIC CONTROL VALVES

Automatic Hydraulic Control PR/PS
PRESSURE REDUCING
& SUSTAINING VALVE

DOROT model “PR/PS”is an automatic, pilot controlled,

pressure reducing and sustaining valve, activated by the
pressure of the pipeline.
The valve remains in the "closed" position until the upstream
pressure increases to a predetermined point. Then, it modulates
to maintain a preset pressure in the network, upstream of
its location.
Should the upstream pressure exceed the required set-point,
the valve opens, increasing the network flow, thus reducing
the upstream pressure and increasing downstream pressure.
Then, the valve reduces upstream pressure to a steady,
predetermined downstream pressure, regardless of fluctuation
in upstream pressure and flow rate.
Should downstream pressure exceed the preset pressure,
(due, for example, to a halt in the pipeline flow), the valve
closes drip-tight.
The main valve is supplied in two models:
Model 30,30A for medium pressure (up to 16 bar / 230 psi)
Model 31,31A for high pressure (up to 25 bar / 350 psi).

30-6-PR/PS For further information see p. G5; and graph #2 on page G5-b.
For pilot data refer to p. G6-a.

Typical Application:

The "PR/PS" Valve, installed on the discharge side of a pump that supplies the downhill network, prevents excessive flow
through the filling stage, as well as excessive pressure during normal operation.

(Insert value)

• The valve will maintain a preset (or >) upstream pressure

of (value). It will close drip-tight if the upstream pressure
a b falls below the specified (value).
• As long as the upstream pressure exceeds the specified set-
c point, the valve will maintain constant, stabilized downstream
pressure (value) regardless of varying upstream pressure
or flow rate.
• The valve will be capable of regulating any flow within the
specified range, eliminating the need for a smaller bypass
valve or throttling plug.
• The valve will be a hydraulically operated, diaphragm actuated,
Globe Type.
• The main valve will consist of a removable SST seat and a
c resilient Rubber seal fully supported by a seal disc.
• The stem will be guided at the top by a replaceable guide
bearing in the valve bonnet, and at the bottom, by a Bronze
centering device, connected to the seal disc and moving
freely inside the seat.
d
• No bottom guide bearing is permitted.
• The diaphragm will be fully supported, top and bottom, by
rigid discs and will be connected to the stem in a way which
enables fast and easy replacement on site.
• No external packing gland and piston activation is permitted.
• Face-to-face length dimension meets ISO 5752(S-1) Standard.
a. CX-PS Pilot Valve • Flange standard will be to (network standard).
b. CX-PR Pilot Valve
The control system will consist of:
c. 1/2” Ball Valve Mod.34-1/2 - 2-Way Pilot Valves
- Self-Flushing, Removable, Internal Filter.
d. 1/2” Self-Flushing Filter Mod.81-1/2-2 - Manual Closure Valve

The valve shall be DOROT mod. 30 (31) -(size) - PR/PS or

equal in all aspects.
Design Notes
The "PR/PS" Valve creates a defined minimum pressure Operating Data Checklist
differential. This loss must be incorporated in the design.
Refer to the head loss chart in case upstream pressure drops to the
downstream pressure set-point. (Please fill out and send to the distributor when ordering)
An excessively high setting of upstream pressure may
prevent the downstream pressure from reaching the desired Maximum Flow Rate:
value. The upstream set-point should not considerably
exceed the required downstream set-point. Maximum Upstream Pressure:
Regulating valves may operate in destructive cavitation Requested Minimum Upstream Pressure:
conditions. Requested Maximum Downstream Pressure:
Refer to p. G6 for further information.

Optional Features
Electric On-Off Control (add code "EL").
When ordering specify "normally closed" (N.C) or "normally open" (N.O).
See p.A-1 for further information.
Check Valve Function (add code "CV").
See p.1B-1 for further information.
