Basic overview of the SS2 Al-z8 controller

Safety

  • Double reliability: if one controller fails, the other one automatically continues operation

  • Independent safety systems: each regulator has its own safety valve and safety lock

  • Safety elements are separated: if one part fails, the other safety systems still function

  • Permanent closure: in the event of a serious fault, the regulators close permanently


Materials and construction

  • All parts are made of durable materials that are not damaged by gas. The main bodies are made of gray cast iron, other parts are made of aluminum alloy. Parts susceptible to corrosion are painted.

  • Each regulator has a built-in strainer that captures debris from the pipes

  • Flange connection: quick installation without complicated pipe modifications

  • Parallel connection: equal load distribution between both controllers

Easy installation and maintenance

  • The actual flow rate is 15–20% lower than the sum of both regulators (influence of fittings and transitions)

  • Different variants for inlet pressures: A (0.05–0.2 MPa), B (0.2–0.4 MPa), AX/BX (adjustable outlet pressure)

  • Refurbishable: only the damaged part can be disassembled and repaired. You don't have to buy a new product

  • Serviceability during operation: when you disconnect one controller, the other one continues to operate

  • 5-year warranty, stores and installations in 260 locations across the Czech Republic and Slovakia

Recommendation

  • When entering, do not forget to specify: inlet pressure, outlet pressure and flow rate, for example: Pv 0.3 MPa, Pr 5 kPa and required flow rate 90 m³/h

  • Same dimensions as Alz-6U regulators: in flanged design, they are easy to replace without modification

  • Correct position: the diaphragm plane must be horizontal, the springs at the top

  • We recommend sealing materials according to DIN EN 751-1,2,3

Pressure regulator

SS2 Al-z8

Double regulator set for operations where even one failure means big losses. Large production plants, industrial complexes and energy facilities need extremely high gas flow. With the SS2 Al-z8 set you can achieve a flow of up to 190 m³ of gas per hour. And if one of the regulators fails, the other one will ensure smooth operation.

  • Weight: From 26 kg (depending on modification)

  • Minimum flow rate: type A 50 m³/h, type B 90 m³/h (Pv min)

  • Maximum flow rate: type A 140 m³/h, type B 190 m³/h (Pv max)

  • Adjustable output pressure: AX/BX

Double reliability

When one controller fails, the other continues to operate

Up to 190 m³

Highest flow rate of all GMR+ products

Flange connection

Fast installation and service without cutting pipes

Controller advantages

  • valve body made of gray cast iron, other castings made of aluminum alloy

  • built-in safety valve

  • built-in safety valve that permanently closes the gas supply to the regulator when the gas pressure drops or rises above a specified limit

  • dismountability and repairability

  • service provided

  • individual parts of the regulator are made of gas-resistant materials

  • The accessory includes a strainer to prevent dirt from entering the regulator

  • Flange connections allow easy assembly and disassembly of the regulator

  • possibility of conversion from type AB to BD and CE

For atypical adjustments (AX and BX versions), the output overpressure can be set according to customer requirements.

These parameters are guaranteed on the manufacturer's testing equipment, which meets the requirements of the state testing laboratory, ČSN EN 12279 and TDG 60903.
