Section 2 Proportional Quick Exhaust

OPERATION OF THE PQE

1. The pilot operated regulator and the PPC5C are both fed from a common inlet.

2. The “out” port of the PPC5C sends pressure to the pilot port of the pilot operated regulator and to the “12” end
of the 400 Series Quick Exhaust Valve. The secondary pressure of the pilot operated regulator is sent to the
output port of the block and it is also sent to the “14” end and inlet of the 400 Series Quick Exhaust Valve.

3. The outlet pressure of the PPC5C along with the memory spring in the 400 Series valve will keep the valve in a
closed state as the unit increases pressure.

4. To reduce pressure, drop the PPC5C’s signal. This will lower the pressure on the “12” end of the 400 Series
valve. The “14” end of the 400 Series valve now has higher pressure causing a snap-action shifting of the 400
Series valve which will quickly exhaust the downstream pressure to the new selected pressure.

Note: Below 20 psi, the P.Q.E. has reduced

exhausting capabilities due to the memory spring PILOT OPERATED

* The quick exhaust portion of the PQE was not designed to be used at pressures below 20 PSIG. The PQE will exhaust
below 20 PSIG but at a very reduced rate. Also, the minimum pressure change (from higher to lower) that will allow
the quick exhaust to function is 3 PSIG.
** This is the minimum output volume and output piping required to keep the unit stable. Configurations below these
minimums should be tested on a case by case basis.
