3. Add the requirements of 1 and 2 and select
regulator size, based on total capacity required
from Table 9 or 10.
Sample sizing problem for blanketing applications:
Vessel Capacity . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 500 gallons (47 318 l)
Pump In/Out Capacity . . . . . . . . . 120 GPM (454 l/min)
Inlet Pressure Source . . . . . . . 60 psig (4,1 bar) Nitrogen
Desired Blanket Setpoint . . . . . . 3.0-inches w.c. (7 mbar)
1. From Table 8, the desired air ow rate due to
pump out equals 120 GPM (454 l/min) x 8.021
= 963 SCFH (25,8 Nm³/h) air.
2. From Table 6, interpolate to determine the
required air ow due to thermal cooling
= 300 SCFH (8,0 Nm³/h) air.
3. Total ow required for pump out and thermal cooling
is 963 + 300 = 1263 SCFH (33,8 Nm³/h) air.
4. Convert to nitrogen by dividing the total air ow by
the square root of the specic gravity of nitrogen:
1263 divided by square root of 0.97 = 1282 SCFH
(34,4 Nm³/h) nitrogen.
5. From Table 9, an NPS 1 (DN 25) body size
Type Y690A with a 1/4-inch (6,4 mm) orice will
ow 1323 SCFH (35,5 Nm³/h) nitrogen at 60 psig
(4,1 bar) inlet pressure. This will satisfy the
required ow of 1282 SCFH (34,4 Nm³/h) nitrogen.
Installation
Types Y690A and Y690AH
Install the regulator with the spring case barrel pointed
down. This will assure that the lowest set pressure
shown in Table 5 is achieved. Flow through the
regulator body is indicated by the ow arrow cast on
the body. If a block valve is required, install a full ow
valve between the regulator and the blanketed vessel.
Types Y690AM and Y690AHM
The regulator may be installed in any position as
long as the ow through the body is in the direction
indicated by the ow arrow attached to the body. Install
the regulator as close as possible to the blanketed
vessel using a straight run of pipe the same size as
or larger than the regulator body. Position the body
and/or diaphragm spring case so it will not collect
moisture or debris into the screened vent and also be
self draining (as shown in Figure 4). If a block valve is
required, install a full ow valve between the regulator
and the blanketed vessel.
Attach a downstream pressure control line to the
1/2 NPT connection in the lower diaphragm case.
Connect the other end of the control line to the vessel.
To allow for self-drainage, install the control line at an
angle so that any liquid material will drain away from
the regulator. See Figures 2 and 4 for the location
of the external control line connection. External
dimensions and connections are shown in Figure 5.
Universal NACE Compliance
Optional materials are available for applications
handling sour gases. These constructions comply
with the recommendations of National Association of
Corrosion Engineers (NACE) sour service standards.
The manufacturing processes and materials used
by Emerson assure that all products specied for
sour gas service comply with the chemical, physical,
and metallurgical requirements of NACE MR0175/
ISO 15156 and/or NACE MR0103. Customers
have the responsibility to specify correct materials.
Environmental limitations may apply and shall be
determined by the user.
Capacity Information
Capacity tables are based on 0.97 specic gravity
nitrogen. Nitrogen is the most common blanketing
gas. Should you use a different gas, convert the
tabular values as follows. For blanketing (pad) gases
other than nitrogen, multiply the given nitrogen ow
rate by the correction factors in Table 7. For gases
of other specic gravities, multiply the given nitrogen
ow rate by 0.985, and divide by the square root of the
appropriate specic gravity.
