Miyawaki REC1 Direct-Acting Steam Pressure Reducer

The Miyawaki REC1 is a self-operated pressure reducer designed for small steam lines. Downstream pressure is detected in the internal control chamber, directly adjusting the valve opening without the need for electric or pneumatic actuators. Adjustment is made via the top handle.

Applications

Used in compact steam consumers, food equipment, medical devices, biotech units, and small thermal processes. Stainless steel construction is preferred for increased corrosion resistance or cleaner installation environments.

Installation and Selection

Installation requires pipeline cleaning, flow direction according to the body, straight sections at least 10 × DN before and after the valve, pressure gauges, isolation valves, bypass, and upstream filter 60–80 mesh. Selection requires p1, p2, steam flow, temperature, connection, and reduction ratio check.

Description

Features

Self acting pressure reducing valve for steam

Automatic valve that reduces the steam supply pressure to a defined set pressure.

Pressure fluctuations on upstream side are followed by the downstream side.

No external energy required

Compact and cost effective design

Can be installed in tight spaces thanks to its compact design (small/lightweight). Offers reliable operation, energy saving, and productivity improvement.

Easy handling

Pressure can easily adjusted by the topside handle.

Operating features of direct acting pressure reducing valves

Downstream pressure changes are detected in the detection chamber, and the degree of opening of the valve is directly adjusted to maintain the set pressure.

Superb durability

Most of materials are made from stainless steel, making it durable and corrosion-resistant.

Typical applications

Suitable for F&B equipment, medical equipment, bio-related equipment, and other compact steam equipments.

● Minimum differential pressure: 10% of the primary side

● Minimum adjustable flow rate:  3 to 30kg/h (6.6 to 66 lb/h)

● Lockup pressure: Up to 0,03MPa (4.4psig)

● Offset

     Up to 60% of the secondary side when secondary side pressure is 0,1MPa (14.5psig) or lower

  Up to 0,07MPa (10.2psig) when secondary side pressure exceeds 0,1MPa (14.5psig) but is less than 0,6MPa (87psig)

  Up to 0,1MPa (14.5psig) when secondary side pressure is 0,6MPa (87psig)

● How to use selection chart (example)

To reduce the pressure of 100kg/h (220lb/h) of steam from 1,0MPa to 0,5MPa (145psig to 73psig)

1. Find the point at which the primary side pressure 1,0MPa (145psig) curve and secondary side pressure 0,5MPa (73psig) horizontal line intersect.

2. Trace a vertical line from the point where they intersect, and look for the smallest-sized product where the steam flow rate is 100kg/h (220lb/h) or more at the point where the vertical line you have traced intersects the horizontal size lines.

3. In this case, the REC1-6(F) pressure reducing valve with a size of 15A (1/2”) is optimum.
