Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3312494A1] The regulator assembly has a first stage regulator with a first inlet for receiving high pressure gas from the cylinder. A first regulator element reduces the pressure of the gas which exits the first stage regulator via a first outlet at a regulated pressure. A second stage regulator is provided with a second inlet for receiving the gas at the regulated pressure, and a second regulator element further reduces the pressure of the gas which exits the second stage regulator via a second outlet at an outlet pressure which is lower than the regulated pressure. A pilot regulator receives gas at the regulated pressure from the first stage regulator. The pilot regulator is controlled by an actuator to set a pilot pressure which is communicated to the second stage regulator to set the outlet pressure delivered by the second stage regulator.
