propane regulator with imput

propane regulator with imput

propane regulator with imput

(OP)
I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm looking for a propane regulator witch has an electrical impute that can control the outlet pressure. The pressures I'm using range from 4psi to 45 psi. I have been looking  and cant seem to find anything that will work.
The application is for a furnace that I melt glass in . I'm using a venturi type burner and would like to hook it up to a controller.

Thanks
Kenny

RE: propane regulator with imput

Check www.jordancontrols.com and look for a model MC 11XX.  This is a regulator with a electrical actuator attached.  I don't know if it is suitable for propane, or not, but I know it is used on Nat gas.

Thanks RMW this is just what I'm looking for. A bit pricy though $1625.

RE: propane regulator with imput

These regulators are called "Voltage to Pressure Regulators."  Commonly called "V to P's".  Search the web (or Thomas Register).  These are commonly used to control gas pressure in the chemical industry.

RE: propane regulator with imput

Look at the controls for gas kilns or the higher temperature gas ovens, there are people that deal in this equipment.  We had a gas oven that had a similar type valve. I only think the pressure was up to 3 pounds.
The latest version has an pneumatically operated valve and it in turn is controlled by an a small air valve with electric control. I think it is made by Robertshaw Controls or Honeywell.  We went to this due to having to have a fail to close type operation.

I don't know your location, but it is good policy to clear the high pressure burners with your insurance people.
