Abstract
A pressure regulating valve assembly includes: a valve having an upstream side receiving an input flow and a downstream side providing an output flow, an actuator for opening and closing the valve, including partially opening the valve, and a regulator controlling the actuator to open, close or partially open the valve. The regulator includes a sense pressure port, wherein pressure at the port is maintained constant by the regulator. A chamber has a first entry orifice, a second entry orifice and an exit orifice. The first entry orifice is connected to the upstream side, the second entry orifice is connected to the downstream side, and the exit orifice is connected to the port. The exit orifice provides that the pressure at the exit orifice lies between the pressure at the first entry orifice and the pressure at the second entry orifice.
