Research abstract
This proposal provides an innovative solution to reduce the size and mass of a precision regulator used on typical liquid DACS systems. Novel friction-reducing Belleville washer designs and a secondary spring unit keep the regulator compact, simple and low weight while maintaining a +/-5% regulated pressure outlet tolerance. The simple temperature-compensating device keeps the size small and helps increase regulation precision. Low seat stress materials will keep the lockup pressure increase low.
