Description

Unlike the Pressure Regulator, which closes when the input exceeds a given pressure, the back pressure regulator opens when input pressure reaches a given value.
- Stationpedia

The Back Pressure Regulator will only pass through gases when the pressure on its intake side exceeds the set value. In other words, the standard Regulator defaults open and closes when the output is overpressured, while the Back Pressure Regulator defaults closed and opens when the input is overpressured.

Like the standard Regulator, the Back Pressure Regulator also acts as a check valve, switched valve, and compressor (i.e., input gas will move even if the output is already a higher pressure).

Its low flow rate makes it not suitable for being used as an emergency dump valve.

To calculate the moles per tick, use the following equation: n = (P * V) / (R * T)

Where:

  • P = Min(Input pressure, 101.325)
  • V = 100
  • n = Moles per tick
  • R = Gas constant (8.3144)
  • T = Input temperature
