INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL IOM-1000HP- Cryogenic 02-20 ISO Registered Company MODEL 1000HP - CRYOGENIC PRESSURE REDUCING REGULATOR SECTION I I. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE The Model 1000HP-5 and 1000HP-36 are cryogenic pressure reducing regulators used to control down stream (outlet or P2) pressure to levels above 10 psig, and up to 300 psig (size dependent). Sizes are 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/2" and 2". The unit is designed for liquid or gaseous service with proper trim utilization, and proper jet selection. Refer to Technical Bulletin 1000HP-CRYO-TB for sizing, application and selection recommendations. Installation, operation and maintenance manuals (IOM's) exist for the following other Model 1000 products: 1000HP-Basic 1000LP-Basic 1000HP-Differential SECTION II II. INSTALLATION 1.
