Temperature control
Gas regulators are important devices that control the temperature of gas. They are available in two types: self-actuated and externally actuated. The self-actuated type uses a thermally sensitive material that expands and contracts with changes in temperature to control the valve position. This design allows for excellent temperature control.

Gas regulators are a common part of furnaces, heaters, water heaters, and space heaters. They control the temperature of gas by regulating the amount of gas flowing in and out. The regulators turn gas on and off when the thermostat calls for heat. They also have a flame-sensing safety device to keep the gas flowing at the same pressure even when the number of appliances changes.

Temperature control in gas regulators is crucial to a safe and reliable operation. The valves are usually regulated to a specific temperature. If the temperature is too high or too low, the valves may fail to function properly. When this happens, a temperature-controlled valve should be used. These valves are also important for industrial processes where the temperature must remain constant.

Loading force
Loading force is an important parameter to understand when it comes to gas regulators. This force is created by a combination of two different forces: inlet pressure and outlet pressure. The inlet pressure force tries to close the orifice of the regulator. The two forces must be balanced, so that the orifice will remain open. If the loading force is greater than the combined forces, the valve will not close, and the gas will flow through.

Gas regulators use a spring-loaded "poppet" valve with a thermoplastic or elastomeric seal. This valve has an elastomeric seal which is designed to form a seal on the valve seat. When a gas regulator is opened, the fluid flows from the inlet to the outlet. When the valve is opened, the outlet pressure builds up, pushing on the spring. This pressure balances the two forces at the set point.
