A subsea regulator, without the ocsillation.

The Oilgear Subsea Pressure Regulator is a robust, precision device that controls the pressure within a given circuit by serving as both a pressure reducer and as a pressure relief. The SSR is available in various sizes and control options (pilot-operated, mechanically-set, and electrically-commandable).

ISSUES WITH CLASSIC REGULATORS

Almost every subsea regulator on the market uses the same approach:

• A single sensing spool
• Spring-loaded shear seals

Classic approach is inherently problematic:

• Oscillation and overshoot due to the large inertial mass and friction
• Excessive flow forces causing inaccuracy
• Poor flow efficiency (typically much lower than advertised)
• Relief function is not fast-acting

THE OILGEAR ADVANTAGE

Designed by Oilgear’s Olmsted Product group, renowned for using advanced technology to create extremely reliable offshore valves, Oilgear’s subsea regulator does not suffer from the pitfalls of classic regulators.  Its highly proprietary design utilizes hydraulic design techniques to enable precision regulation without oscillation.  The end result is more up-time, due to a more reliable subsea control system.
