SIEVERT REGULATORS FROM CHRONOS

All burners require a steady pressure in order to perform well and ideally run at about 2 bar. The larger burners can operate at higher pressures and achieve greater heating capacity. Because the flame temperature is constant, heating capacity is dependent solely on the amount of gas being consumed. With Sievert Regulators, the pressure is stabilised to obtain the correct pressure irrespective of the outside temperature of the gas cylinder.
