Abstract (en)

A valve unit for modulating the delivery pressure of a gas comprises a servo-valve (4) having a closure member (5) with diaphragm control (8), the diaphragm (8) being subjected, on one side, to the gas-delivery pressure and, on the other side, to a control pressure (Pt) established in a control chamber (9) of the servo-valve (4), a pressure-regulation device associated with the servo-valve (4) and comprising a modulation valve (10;51) for modulating the control pressure and consequently the gas-delivery pressure, actuator means for the operative control of the modulation valve (10;51), and a circuit (39) for driving the actuator means. The driver circuit (39) comprises means for generating an operative modulation-valve driving signal (S) of constant frequency, with a preselected period (T), and means for duration modulation of the signal amplitude within the period (T) so as to modulate the control pressure (Pt) in a proportionally correlated manner. <IMAGE>
