Fueling Data Centers with Confidence: Pilot-Operated Regulators

Modern data centers rely on more than just electricity—they need dependable, scalable energy systems that keep operations running 24/7. Natural gas is part of that strategy—powering backup generators, supporting micro-grids, and driving upgrades and improvements to critical infrastructure.

To manage these high-volume systems, pilot-operated pressure regulators are the industry standard —and Pietro Fiorentini’s Reflux 819 and Aperflux 851 deliver best-in-class performance.

  • High flow precision: Handle large volumes with tighter pressure control across low to high pressure ranges.
  • Steady under pressure: Maintain outlet set points—even when inlet pressure or demand fluctuates.
  • Responsive to load changes: React instantly to spikes in gas demand.
  • Built-in safety redundancy: Monitor setups prevent over-pressure and keep gas flowing, with multiple OPP methods available, including relief valves, slam-shuts, and monitor regulators—while no-bleed pilots minimize emissions and ensure reliable performance.

Reflux 819

Pilot-Operated Regulator
  • The Reflux 819 can function as a worker or monitor, instantly taking over if the primary regulator fails to ensure uninterrupted flow and protection.
  • 1000:1 turndown ratio for excellent responsiveness and adaptability
  • Ideal for mission-critical systems requiring maximum uptime and pressure protection
  • Can be fitted with noise attenuation when sulfur is present, providing solutions that improve uptime.

Aperflux 851

High - Capacity Control Regulator
  • Designed for transmission lines, large distribution systems, and power generation
  • Top-entry design for easy maintenance without line shutdown
  • 500:1 turndown

Pietro Fiorentini’s pilot-operated regulators outperform standard options—supporting larger loads, enabling precise gas flow control, and scaling as your infrastructure grows.
