　　不過(guò)，這種閥門(mén)也需正確選型和正確安裝、使用，才能保證投入運(yùn)行后不出現(xiàn)什么問(wèn)題。選型方面就不用多說(shuō)了，比如調(diào)節(jié)閥是用來(lái)控制閥前壓力（控制閥前壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥）閥后壓力（控制閥前壓后調(diào)節(jié)閥），介質(zhì)是常溫還是高溫，有無(wú)腐蝕性，zui高工作壓力等等，一定要事先搞清楚，我們主要談?wù)劙惭b使用方面的問(wèn)題。因?yàn)槲襷ui近碰到一例自力式壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥的使用方面出現(xiàn)的問(wèn)題，很有代表性。閥門(mén)是用在蒸汽管道上的，投入使用才短短一兩個(gè)月，用戶就報(bào)修。到現(xiàn)場(chǎng)一看，大量蒸汽從調(diào)節(jié)閥膜頭的排氣孔中排出，噪聲極大，聲勢(shì)驚人。事故原因，明顯是蒸汽沒(méi)經(jīng)過(guò)冷凝，直接進(jìn)入膜頭，燒壞了膜片。用于蒸汽管道的自力式壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥，安裝時(shí)必須在執(zhí)行器和管道之間加一個(gè)冷凝罐，不能讓蒸汽進(jìn)入執(zhí)行器膜頭，而且，調(diào)節(jié)閥必須頭朝下安裝，冷凝罐要高于膜頭，初次使用，一定要將冷凝罐和膜頭中加滿水。看現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的安裝方式，詢問(wèn)現(xiàn)場(chǎng)儀表人員，這些都沒(méi)問(wèn)題，那么是什么造成的呢？令人百思不得其解。后來(lái)，仔細(xì)詢問(wèn)了一個(gè)操作工，無(wú)意之下得知：這臺(tái)閥門(mén)安裝、投入使用后，冷凝罐和膜頭之間的銅管接頭一直在斷斷續(xù)續(xù)地漏水。原來(lái)是這樣，漏水導(dǎo)致冷凝罐里的水慢慢漏光，蒸汽就進(jìn)入膜頭，燒壞了膜片。由此可見(jiàn)，自力式壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥在蒸汽管道上使用時(shí)，安裝、維護(hù)方面一定要多加注意，為保證調(diào)節(jié)閥正常運(yùn)行，千萬(wàn)不能讓接頭漏水，不能讓冷凝罐缺水，要定期檢查，適時(shí)加水。其實(shí)，不光是自力式壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥，就是其它的自力式調(diào)節(jié)閥，在使用時(shí)也需注意維護(hù)和保養(yǎng)才行。另外，蒸汽壓力如果較高，選用活塞式執(zhí)行器，而不取薄膜式執(zhí)行器，因?yàn)槟て话隳艹惺艿膲毫Σ怀^(guò)0.4Mpa，過(guò)此雖然能用，卻要大大降低使用壽命。
　　
　　尤其要提到的是當(dāng)要控制的壓力低于5kp的時(shí)候，要選用帶指揮器的自力式壓力調(diào)節(jié)閥，此閥門(mén)主要用于微壓的控制，氮封裝置場(chǎng)合。
