8.
Two-stage Pressure Reduction
Two-stage pressure reduction should be performed whenever the pressure cannot
be reduced to the desired level with a COSR due to operating range limitations,
such as when the reduction ratio is greater than 10:1.
9. Accessories
Always install a shut-off valve, pressure gauge and bypass line at both inlet and
outlet.
Ball valves, which will not retain condensate, are recommended for inlet and outlet
shut-off valves. The bypass pipe should be at least one half of the size of the inlet
(primary side) pipe. If installing a strainer before the COSR, horizontal installation
with the basket in the same horizontal plane to the piping is recommended in order
to prevent condensate pooling.
