Blanketing Regulators

Nitrogen blanketing regulators, also known as inert gas regulators, are devices used to control and regulate the flow and pressure of nitrogen gas used for blanketing or inerting purposes. Nitrogen blanketing is a technique commonly employed in various industries to protect sensitive materials or processes from exposure to oxygen or other reactive gases.

The primary purpose of nitrogen blanketing is to create a layer of inert gas (nitrogen) on top of a liquid or within a vessel or storage tank. This inert gas layer acts as a barrier, preventing the entry of oxygen or other contaminants that could react with or deteriorate the stored material or affect the process.

1. Inlet Connection: This is the point where the nitrogen gas supply is connected to the regulator.
2. Pressure Control Knob: The pressure control knob allows the user to adjust the desired pressure level of the nitrogen gas.
3. Pressure Gauge: The pressure gauge displays the pressure of the nitrogen gas within the system, enabling the user to monitor and maintain the desired pressure range.
4. Outlet Connection: The outlet connection is where the regulated nitrogen gas is supplied to the blanketing system, vessel, or storage tank.
5. Safety Relief Valve: A safety relief valve is incorporated to prevent over-pressurization of the system. It releases excess pressure if the pressure exceeds the set limit, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.
6. Flow Control: Some nitrogen blanketing regulators may have a flow control mechanism that allows users to adjust the flow rate of the nitrogen gas.
