2. The Model ALR-1 exhibits a deviation in outlet
controlled pressure when the inlet pressure var-
ies; this “effect” is identified as ISR – Inverse
Sympathetic Ratio. Its relative pressure effect
can be calculated from the following equation.
VIII. PRESSURE LOADING
1. The Loading pressure for the ALR-1 is supplied
from an external loading source and is regulated
by the Back Pressure UnLoader.
