Dave, Keith, this is the second time this week I have heard mention of a
bypass regulator. Can you explain the advantage? If there is enough
pressure (or flow potential) from the source to cover any demand why is
it necessary to bypass through the regulator. Doesn't the regulator
lower a higher input pressure to a lower output pressure? What is wrong
with dead-heading (or slowing flow) on the inlet side if that potential
is always greater that what is needed on the outlet side?
Also, what the name of such a bypass regulator? Or is it something as
simple as a pressure bypass spring like on an oil pump?
