Reducing Valve

 

a device that automatically transmits a liquid or gas from a high-pressure cavity to a cavity with lower pressure while maintaining a constant pressure in one of these cavities. A reducing valve maintaining a constant high pressure serves as a safety valve and is used, for example, in lubricating systems and devices. Reducing valves serve as the basic element of such intricate devices as liquid and gas reducers.

pressure-reducing valve, reducing valve

1. A pressure regulating valve.
2. A valve that maintains a predetermined pressure by means of an automatic valve controller.
