The monitoring pilot should be upstream of the working
monitor regulator. This enables a closer setpoint
between the working regulator and the monitoring
pilot. Special Types 161AYW and 627-109 monitoring
pilots with quick-bleed operation have been designed
to give faster response to abnormal downstream
conditions. Table 4 gives the spread between normal
distribution pressure and the minimum pressure at
which the working monitor regulator can be set to take
over if the working regulator fails open.
Wide-Open Monitor
The control line of the upstream regulator is
connected downstream of the second regulator
(Figure 5), so that during normal operation the
monitoring regulator is standing wide open with the
reduction to distribution pressure being taken across
the working regulator. Only in case of open failure of
the working regulator does the wide-open monitoring
regulator take control at its slightly higher setting.
The upstream regulator must have an O-ring seal on
the valve carrier assembly. This seals off the leak
path that otherwise would let line pressure ahead of
the working regulator inlet try to close the wide-open
monitoring regulator.
