847-487-5599 847-487-0909 Relieving Regulators General Purpose Regulators are Used to Provide a Convenient and Low Cost Method to Reduce Supplied Air Pressure to a Desired Outlet Pressure and Transform a Fluctuating Air Supply to a Relatively Constant Reduced Air Pressure Within the Operating Range of the Regulator. Operation is Simplified by Turning the Adjusting Knob Clockwise Forcing the Main Spring Downward Onto the Flexible Diaphragm Which Presses Down Onto the Valve Stem. The Diaphragm and Valve Stem Move Downward Forcing the Balanced Valve Off its Seat, Which Allows Air to Flow Past the Valve to the Outlet Side of the Regulator and Downstream to the Air System. A Precisely Positioned Aspirator Tube Communicates Secondary Pressure to the Diaphragm Resulting in Instant Compensation in Order to Maintain the Desired Secondary Set Pressure. The Diaphragm, Valve Stem and Valve Move Upward, Compressing the Regulating Main Spring. Upward Movement Stops When the Spring Force Acting on the Diaphragm Balances the Pressure Force Acting Below the Diaphragm. For Best Performance, Regulated Pressure Should Always Be Set by Increasing the Pressure Up to the Desired Setting. For Best Performance Select a Spring Range So That the Desired Secondary Set Pressure Falls in the Middle of the Spring Range. For Example, If the Desired Secondary Set Pressure is 30 psi Select a Regulator With a Spring Range of 0-60 psi. The Regulators are Tamper Resistant by Pushing Down on the Knob and Clicking the Knob Into Place. For Added Protection the Knob May Be Easily Completely Removed After the Desired Regulated Pressure Has Been Selected. 8

847-487-5599 847-487-0909 Lubricators For Proper Operation There Must Be Line Pressure in the Lubricator Reservoir Bowl. As the Air Flows Through the Lubricator, Some of the Incoming Air Passes Through the Bowl Pressure Control Valve That Then Pressurizes the Bowl Pushing Oil Upward Through the Siphon Tube. Most of the Air Flow Passes Through the Self-Adjusting Flow-Guide Flow Sensor in the Lubricator Throat Creating a Slight Pressure Drop That is Proportional to the Rate of Air Flow. The Pressure Drop is Sensed by the Sight Dome and Across the Adjustment Needle Valve Allowing Oil to Flow Upward Through the Siphon Tube Into the Sight Dome Where it Drips Into a Nozzle Passage and Then Into the Lubricator Throat. The Precise Amount of Oil to Be Delivered to the Air Stream is Determined By the Oil Adjusting Needle Valve that Sets the Exact Drip Rate. The Oil Drops are Atomized by the High Velocity Air Flowing Through the Lubricator. All of the Drops Visible in the Sight Dome are Delivered Downstream to the Air Devices. The Self-Adjusting Flow Sensor Automatically Maintains a Constant Oil-to-Air Ratio By Opening and Closing in Response to a Wide Range of Changing Air Flows. A Check Valve Keeps the Siphon Tube Full of Oil During Periods of No Flow and Prevents Oil Carry-Over Due to the Possibility of Reverse Flow. The Pressurizing Valve Controls the Rate of Bowl Pressurization and Allows Depressurization for Refilling the Unit Without shutting Off the Supply Air. When the Oil Fill Plug is Loosened, a Spring Loaded, Normally Closed 2-Way Valve Closes, Allowing the Air Pressure in the Bowl to Be Gradually Reduced. When the Fill Plug is Replaced, the Bowl Repressurizes Through the Pressure Control Valve. Upon Initial Use, or If Unit Has Been Run Dry, Open Oil Adjustment Wide Open Until No Air Bubbles are Visible in the Sight Dome. Then Reset Oil Feed Adjustment to Desired Setting. Only Use Clean Oil in the Lubricators. SAE10 or Lightweight Oil is Highly Recommended. 12

Midwest Control s FRL s Feature Heavy Duty Aluminum Die Cast Heads and Steel Bowl Guards Which Protects the Polycarbonate Bowl from Damage as Opposed to Plastic Bodies. Each Filter and Lubricator Unit is Designed to Withstand a Burst Pressure of 1300 PSI, While Each Regulator Is Designed to Withstand a Burst Pressure of 2000 PSI. Each Unit is 100% Factory Tested and Certified for Guaranteed Performance. Filters Incorporate Both a Separator and Shield for Maximum Moisture Separation. Air Line Filters Feature a Sintered Bronze Element Which Provides Better Filtration and Does Not Require Replacement, Only Cleaning. All Filters are Equipped with a Press Type Manual Drain Which Incorporates the Night Time Drain Feature, Expelling Condensation When the Line Pressure Drops Below 11.6 psi. The Night Time Drain is Ideal for Applications Which Do Not Operate Continuously for Those Applications Which Do Operate Around the Clock We Recommend the Automatic Filter, Regulator & Lubricator Basics Compressed Air Systems Are Prone to Impurities and Dirt. Removing Dirt, Pipe Scale, Moisture, Rust, Compressor Oil and Other Contaminants Will Provide Longer Tool Life and Efficient Operation. Air Filters - Will Remove Foreign Particles (Up to 40 Micron) From the Air Stream and Should be Sized to Handle the Capacity of the Compressor. Optional 5 Micron Elements Are Available. Oil Coalescing Filters - Should Be Installed Downstream of the Air Filter to Ensure the Air is Completely Free of Oil, Water and Dirt. Coalescing Filters Feature a 0.01 Micron Element Which Will Remove 99.9% Of Water and Oil Droplets and Solids Larger than.3 Microns. Air Line Regulators - If the System Pressure is Greater Than Recommended, Excess Force (Torque and Wear) Can Shorten the Life of the Down Steam Devices and Waste Compressed Air. Air Line Regulators Provide Steady Outlet Pressure Regardless of Variations and Fluctuations, from the Inlet Pressure Extending Operation and Life of the Downstream Equipment. TECHNICAL DATA MCG SERIES Lubricators - The Air Line Lubricator is an Economical Way to Provide Lubrication Downstream. The Lubricator Stores Oil and Adds a Preset Amount Into the Air Stream Which is Delivered to the Downstream Tools and Devices. Combination Filter/Regulator - Space Saving Design Which Provides Both the Filter and Regulator in a One Piece Unit Reducing Installation Costs Air Line Filter Coalescing Filter Air Line Regulator Air Line Lubricator 19
