    Preliminary performance study of Sherwood Regulator
    (2006) Barrera-Valero, Osvaldo A.; Jia, Yi; College of Engineering; Just Agosto, Frederick A.; Dooner, David B.; Banerjee, Jayanta; Department of Mechanical Engineering
    This is a Project of practical application directed to the liquefied petroleum gas industry at the University of Puerto Rico and the objectives of this project are to study the 800 JBC Sherwood Regulator performances and its operation system and to design the calibration system. Through several tests developed in Colombia, the result shows a comparative analysis of the spring compression effect on the outlet pressure and allows the using of the same spring for the handling of natural gas. In a graph that compares the result by using the two fuels can be appreciate the phenomenon of proportional band that is a pressure drop of 4.37 "W.C. Lastly the orifices and flow rate are calculated, which are essentials to prepare the calibration.
