Pressure build economizers

Pressure build economizers

A Pressure Build Economizer (PBE) regulates tank pressure by maintaining set pressure and relieving excess. Cashco offers three models (PBE, PBE H, PBE L) designed for liquefied gas storage, ensuring automatic build-up and economizing relief in a single compact body.

Product Models

  • Model PBE: Standard (¼″ bronze, high capacity)
  • Model PBE H: High-flow (½″ bronze, mid-pressure design)
  • Model PBE L: Low-flow (½″ bronze, precise low-range)

Common Features

  • Dual-function design: pressure build + relief above SP
  • Single compact FNPT body: ¼″ or ½″
  • Max operating: up to 600 psig (41.4 bar)
  • Cryogenic rated: –325 °F to +150 °F
  • Construction: bronze with CTS/SS trim options
  • Self-aligning floating seat: for tight shutoff
  • Excellent Cv: 0.49–1.21 depending on model
  • Application: liquefied gas tank control

Model-Specific Details

Model PBE – Standard Economics

Compact ¼″ valve for general economizer use with moderate capacity.

  • Line size: ¼″ FNPT
  • Max inlet/outlet: 600 psig
  • Set ranges: 2–600 psig (multiple springs)
  • Cv max: 0.49
  • Temp range: –325 °F to +150 °F
  • Material: Bronze; PTFE seat; SST diaphragm
  • Body/seat: Self-aligning, floating PTFE seat
  • Use: tanks where auto-relief is required

Model PBE H – High-Flow Economizer

½″ high-capacity bronze valve with elevated flow capability suited for larger tanks.

  • Line size: ½″ FNPT
  • Max pressure: 250 psig inlet/outlet
  • Set ranges: 2–250 psig (multi-spring)
  • Cv max: 1.80
  • Temp: –325 °F to +150 °F
  • Material & features: Bronze body, SST spring; same seat/diaphragm design
  • Economizer opens: ~10 psig above build-point

Model PBE L – Low-Flow Economizer

½″ unit optimized for precise control in small tanks or low-pressure systems.

  • Line size: ½″ FNPT
  • Max pressure: 600 psig
  • Set ranges: 3–600 psig (multi-spring)
  • Cv max: 1.21
  • Temperature range: –325 °F to +150 °F
  • Body/seat: Self-aligning PTFE seat, SST diaphragm
  • Economizer opens: 10–25 psig above setpoint

Applications

  • Liquefied gas storage tanks (e.g., LPG, LNG)
  • Automatic tank pressure control
  • Economizer relief in vapor return systems
  • Cryogenic and high-purity fluid services

Notable Features

  • Dual-stage action: build pressure, then relieve excess
  • Cryogenic compatibility: –325 °F rating
  • Floating seat design prevents leakage & wear
  • Bronze body with robust SST trim for durability
  • Compact FNPT installation with minimal footprint
  • Smooth economizer start ensures seamless control

Why Choose Cashco PBEs

  • All-in-one build/relief performance
  • Accurate setpoints with minimal droop
  • High reliability in cryogenic operations
  • Compact, easy to install FNPT design
  • Varied sizes to match tank volumes

Conclusion

Cashco Pressure Build Economizers offer a sophisticated yet compact solution for tank pressure management. With integrated economizer relief, cryogenic readiness, and robust Cv capacities, these units are ideal for liquefied gas applications.
