I want to control the air pressure and the flow rate on a pressurized air line. The air pressure comes from a train of reciprocating compressors feeding in to an air receiver. It is planned to put a a PT , PIC and a pressure control valve on the oulet of air receiver for precise pressure and then a little further downstream to put an FT, FIC and a flow control valve for flow rate regulation.
What are the pros and cons of such a scheme especially looking at the possibility of the PV and the FV always trying to balance or pull against each others demands ? The line presssure desired is about 40 psi but upstream of the receiver is about 100psi. The line size on which the valves are to be installed is about 10 inches.
