I have a question about flow control hoping someone has some insight:
I recently picked up 5 used 3600+ storage bottles for our dive clubs compressor system. Previously we had been filling direct off the compressor and our flow control was essentially just the whip valves. The storage role as of now is just to add a buffer to reduce the compressor on/off cycling, no cascade as of now. That being said there is significant punch behind the valves and want to prevent staff from accidentally crash filling tanks if they crank the valves.
Whats the best method for added flow control to a system like this? I realise this is fairly beginner question but I am new to the fill design system. My initial plan is to add either a metering valve on the main line or a flow restrictor. But there are also flow fuses. Having a bit of trouble wrapping my head around which would be the best system if I want to have 3 or 4 whips going at once without taking forever but not crash filling, also fairly dummy proof.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
