Mustang® Heated Regulator

The Mustang® Heated Regulator (MHR®) prevents liquid condensation from Joule Thomson cooling in natural gas mixtures when pressure reduction is required. The process temperature is controlled using PID logic throughout the pressure reduction cycle with both pre- and post-regulation heat exchangers along a tortuous path. The final process pressure is set manually using an adjustable regulator control across a specified range.

The MHR assembly provides safe and reliable temperature control and pressure reduction essential to ensuring the performance of gas analyzers.
