Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021123418A1] The invention relates to a station for regulating the circulation of a gas from a network referred to as the "upstream" network conveying the gas at a pressure Pa to a network referred to as the "downstream" gas network conveying the gas at a pressure Pb such that Pa is strictly higher than Pb, which comprises: - a compression device comprising a piston actuated by the expansion of gas supplied by the upstream network and configured to compress a gas referred to as "driving gas", - a discharging to the downstream network of the gas from the upstream network that has been expanded in the compression device, and - a pneumatic valve configured to control the flow rate of gas from the upstream network circulating towards the downstream network, and actuated by the driving gas. The invention also relates to a method for regulating the circulation of a gas between an upstream network and a downstream network.
