The pressure regulator will allow you to set and reach higher outlet pressure than inlet pressure, unlike real life.  In this way, this device is acting like a pump or compressor.

Construction Kit (Pressure Regulator)

Description

Pressure Regulator is used throughout Atmospherics networks to manage Pressure. Pressure Regulators comes in two variants: Standard and back-pressure regulators. They can be used to separate two gas networks and as a one-way valve (in any variant, when set to zero).

The maximum pressure that can be set is 10132.5 kPa, which is the maximum pressure for most gas-related elements like Canisters.

Pressure regulator needs power to operate (100 W). When unpowered it shuts off. That means it can be used as Pipe Digital Valve

Pressure Regulator

Description

The standard Pressure Regulator will pass through gases until the pressure on its output side reaches the set value.

Back Pressure Regulator

Description

The Back Pressure Regulator will only pass through gases once the pressure on its intake side exceeds the set value. (Not good as emergency dump very slow flow rate.)
