Abstract

A pressure regulating valve 10 determines a fixed constant pressure drop across a metering valve 16 at a given altitude by comparing ambient pressure with a vacuum. Evacuated bellows 76 reacts with changes in altitude to bias a poppet 54 via rod 90, adjusting screw 100 and lever 66 towards or away from outlet 54.
