IMPCO Model E And PE Regulator Converter Vaporizer
The model E provides a positive outlet pressure for applications that require a positive feed system and/or the ability to vaporize liquid fuel. A heated regulator/vaporizer is not required of CNG (it is recommended that the Model PEV be used for these systems). Additional mixture stability is possible with the PE as a result of a more consistent fuel temperature gained through the use of the heated labyrinth. The PE is supplied as a fixed outlet pressure regulator but can be onverted to an adjustable unit with the AC1-74 retrofit kit.
IMPCO MODEL E Secondary Gas Regulator Features:
- Low pressure demand regulator for natural gas or propane
- Initial Flow Pressure -0.05 to -0.35 w.c.
- Perfect for small engine applications
- Includes primer

How does a low pressure regulator work?
A pressure regulator reduces a supply (or inlet) pressure to a lower outlet pressure and works to maintain this outlet pressure, despite fluctuations in the inlet pressure. The reduction of the inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure is the fundamental characteristics of pressure regulators.
Model KN 039-291 is a secondary regulator. It is suitable for use with low pressure, Natural Gas and LPG Vapor fuels. This regulator is typically used in service applications up to 30 kW.

IMPCO Gas Regulator :
A propane vaporizer increases the speed at which propane travels to machines that require it for power. A propane tank may not be large enough or have the technical capability to deliver propane at the appropriate speed or pressure, but a vaporizer corrects the problem. IMPCO manufactures various propane vaporizers. If a propane vaporizer malfunctions, it needs immediate troubleshooting to ensure it functions safely while also providing the other machine the fuel it needs.
