0781-3636 - Victor EDGE 2.0 Heavy Duty Hydrogen Regulator CGA 350 0-150 PSIG

Victor EDGE 2.0 ESS32-150-350 Hydrogen Regulator Overview

The Victor EDGE 2.0 ESS32-150-350 (SKU: 0781-3636) represents the second generation of the industry-leading EDGE Series regulators, specifically engineered for heavy-duty hydrogen gas applications. This single-stage regulator is designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial environments, offering a delivery pressure range of 0 to 150 PSIG. It features a standard CGA 350 inlet connection, ensuring compatibility with hydrogen cylinders, and a 9/16 in. - 18 LH outlet for secure hose attachment. The unit is built upon Victor's legacy of safety and precision, incorporating advanced materials and engineering to handle the specific properties of hydrogen gas.

A defining characteristic of the EDGE 2.0 series is its focus on durability and safety. The regulator housing is robust, designed to withstand the physical abuses common in welding and industrial fabrication shops. The internal architecture features a highly robust seat that provides optimum performance and consistent pressure and flow delivery, minimizing fluctuations that can affect process quality. The regulator is also engineered with high resistance to oxygen-related fires, although this specific model is dedicated to hydrogen service, the material quality reflects Victor's high safety standards across the board.

The user interface of the ESS32-150-350 has been significantly improved over previous generations. It boasts fully enclosed, highly visible modular gauges. These gauges are protected by a robust metal gauge guard, shielding them from external impacts. The delivery gauge is a large 2-inch (50.8 mm) instrument featuring a high-contrast, color-coded face. This design enhancement allows operators to read pressure settings quickly and accurately, even from a distance or in low-light conditions. The integration of the gauge into the regulator body, rather than protruding externally, further reduces the profile and the likelihood of shearing a gauge off during transport or operation.

Perhaps the most innovative safety feature is the SLAM (Shock Limiting Absorbing Mechanism) knob. This multi-stage crumple zone technology is built into the adjusting knob. In the event of a cylinder falling over, the SLAM knob absorbs the impact energy, protecting the regulator body and the cylinder valve from catastrophic damage. This feature significantly enhances workplace safety, providing peace of mind in dynamic industrial settings. The Victor EDGE 2.0 ESS32-150-350 combines these safety innovations with precise control, making it a premier choice for hydrogen regulation.
