A pressure compensating product maintains a constant flow regardless of variations in the line pressure therby optimizing system performance and comfort of use at all pressures.
Dynamic conditions (flow):
The o-ring subjected to the line pressure is compressed into the seating area which reduces the water passage (position 2).
As the pressure increases the o-ring is compressed further into the seating area and reduces the water passage further (position 3).
As the pressure decreases the o-ring relaxes and reopens the water passage (return to position 2 and 1). Pressure compensating flow regulators are not recommended for use in non-pressurized applications.
