The return line pressure R depends on the force exerted by adjustment spring S
1
and air
pressures at TD and TR. TR pressure is exerted against the bottom of the upper
diaphragm, opposing S
1
. However, if S
1
is greater than force TR, this difference (S
1
minus TR) is transmitted by the stem to the main diaphragm below. The other force
acting downward on the main diaphragm is caused by the air pressure at TD. These
downward forces are balanced by air pressure R pushing up on the main diaphragm.
Spring force S
1
is adjustable up to an equivalent pressure of 25 psi.
