Proportional Pressure
Regulator
Piezotronic technology has also been applied to proportional
regulator units offering many advantages. Conventional pressure regulators
comprise a pressure sensor measuring the outlet pressure, and providing a
feedback signal to an amplifier. This signal is then compared to the control
signal and the difference is converted to a digital signal, which energises one
or the other of 2 internal two-way solenoid valves. With this type of regulator
there is a large consumption of air when the valve exhausts through one of the
solenoid valves to achieve the required output. The response times are poor and
because the 2 solenoid valves are constantly being used, the service life can be
low.
The
Hoerbiger Tecno regulator uses their piezo valve as its pilot unit, providing a
fast and highly dynamic pilot signal. The piezo valve is driven via an
integrated miniature pressure regulator and fine filter. The output then
operates a proportional diaphragm pressure regulator, with two separate seats
for pressurising and venting. The outlet pressure is compared with the set
pressure via a pressure sensor and is constantly corrected by the electronic
system resulting in:
