Introduction
After a process sample stream is analyzed, it must be disposed of in a manner
consistent with environmental regulations. Today, as in the past, it has been
common practice to simply vent the sample stream to the atmosphere. As
environmental regulations become more stringent, it is becoming undesirable,
if not illegal, to admit these samples to the atmosphere.
For an analyzer to operate correctly, it must be calibrated and operated under the
same conditions. These critical conditions are temperature, flow and pressure, with
the pressure of the measurement cell being the most critical. Venting analyzer effluent
to atmosphere is not only convenient, but it also provides a very stable reference pressure for the
analyzer measurement cell. In other words, the measurement cell “floats” on atmospheric pressure.
Analyzer outlet sample streams are traditionally collected into a closed vent header. This vent header
either flows to atmosphere or back to the process. When atmospheric venting is not allowed, the most
common disposal point is the plant flare where the analyte sample stream is burned. However, the
flare header is subject to pressure variations as high as 20 psig or more as process upsets create
backpressure. When venting an analyzer into the flare collection system, the measurement cell “floats”
on these varying pressures. If this condition is left unchecked these pressure fluctuations will result in
significant analyzer measurement errors.
The primary function of the Parker Vent Master™ is to isolate the
analyzer from fluctuating outlet pressures by controlling the pressure
of the collection header (commonly referred to as the Vent Header)
and pumping the effluent sample gases into the fluctuating return
system.

Functional Options
The Parker Vent Master™ can be configured to perform in several different applications as outlined in
the following nomenclature summary.
The Eductor model (EDR) is the most common
The pump (PMP) model is most commonly
and is used when disposing analyzer effluent
gasses to a flare system. The -EDR model
requires a bulk nitrogen source to provide the
necessary motive force for the eductor.
used when returning analyzer effluent to the
process, or any other point with a return
pressure above 20 psig. In this case a
positive displacement pump (provided by
others) is utilized.
The Eductor Natural Gas model (EDRNB) is
very similar to the -EDR but it incorporates
non-bleed pneumatic circuitry that enables
the use of fuel gas as the motive force for the
eductor.
The model with no pump or eductor (NPE) is
used when an external plant vacuum system is
available.
All configurations of the Parker Vent Master™ provide exceptional pressure stability in the analyzer
effluent vent header regardless of upstream flow and downstream pressure fluctuations as detailed
below:

Parker Vent Master™ Eductor (-EDR) Model Theory of Operation
This system is comprised of regulators, gauges, a rotameter, a controller and an eductor mounted in
a small enclosure for ease of operation and installation. A low-pressure regulator (PR-1) with a large
sensitive diaphragm is also included with the system but is mounted directly onto the vent header as
shown on the schematic below and layout drawing on page 7. The eductor flow capacity dictates the
Vent Master’s maximum analyzer effluent flow capacity. Parker Vent Master™ EDR models have a wide
range of analyte flow, return point back pressure and motive force capabilities.

Parker Vent Master™ Eductor Model Theory of Operation (Continued)
PR-1 is the vent header pressure controller. Its
function is to constantly flow a Nitrogen makeup
gas into the vent header, sufficient to maintain
a constant pressure. While each analyzer will
vent effluent gas into the vent header by varying
amounts, PR-1 will sense the header pressure
and provide Nitrogen to makeup the difference
necessary to maintain a stable +1" WC pressure.
Simultaneously, the Parker Vent Master™
eductor will pump a constant analyzer effluent
and Nitrogen makeup mixture from the Vent
Header.
.3" WC pressure variation over the flow capacity
range of each eductor.
The Parker Vent Master™ incorporates a
Nitrogen Economizer Circuit which throttles the
eductor’s motive force flow necessary to maintain
a constant 6" Hg vacuum. This circuit conserves
Nitrogen use and reduces the normal motive
pressure eductor supply to approximately 20 psig,
with an eductor return point back pressure of 1
psig. As the eductor’s back pressure increases
(caused by increasing flare header pressures) the
vacuum created by the eductor will be reduced.
The Economizer Circuit vacuum controller
monitors the eductor’s vacuum and automatically
adjusts the motive force flow to the eductor
accordingly to maintain a constant differential
pressure necessary to facilitate a constant flow
rate from the Vent Header. The motive force
Nitrogen flow rate can vary from 3 to 9 SCFM
depending upon the return point back pressure
of the eductor as outlined in the Nitrogen Motive
Force Consumption chart below.
For example, if the Vent Header Flow Adjustment
(FI-1) is set at 14 SLPM and the analyzers are
venting a total of 12 SLPM into the vent header,
PR-1 will supply 2 SLPM of Nitrogen. The
flow capacity limiting component in the Parker
Vent Master™ is the eductor. The Parker Vent
Master™ is available with three different eductor
capacities as outlined on the performance curves
on page 6. In all cases, test results show that the
Vent Header pressure will be maintained to within
Note: The standard PR-1 incorporates an internal relief valve on
its diaphragm. The relief valve will only open when the Vent Header
pressure exceeds 7" WC. The threaded vent port on the dome of
the PR-1 regulator must be vented to a safe area and MUST be
maintained at atmospheric pressure. ANY pressure change in the
regulators dome connection will be reflected in the Vent Header.
Consult factory for a PR-1 without a relief valve.
Nitrogen is the normal makeup and motive force gas used to drive
the eductor because it is inert. In cases where Nitrogen is not
desirable, Natural Gas can also be used to drive the eductor into a
flare system or any other gas that is compatible with the process. In
this case, the -EDRNB should be specified.

Parker Vent Master™ Eductor Motive Force / Return Point Back Pressure /
Flow Curves
The -EDR version of the Vent Master
is available with three different eductor
capacities. Proper eductor sizing is
based on three critical system variables:
Motive force pressure availability
Maximum analyte flow from the Vent
Header
Maximum return point back pressure
Use the graphs at the right to determine
the proper eductor size for an application.
When the flow and return point back
pressure are plotted as shown in the lines
labeled “Example 1” the entire area below
the plotted line must fall within the area of
the line representing the available motive
force pressure.
Example 1: An analyzer shelter has
8 different continuous analyzers each
flowing 1 SLPM; allowing for a Nitrogen
makeup cushion of 2 SLPM, the total
flow is 10 SLPM. The return point is
the flare header that typically runs at
a pressure of 1-2 psig, but process
upsets can spike this pressure as high
as 22 psig. A bulk Nitrogen source with
90 psig is available for the motive force.
The red line in the graphs at right reflect
the maximum flow and return point
back pressure described above. In this
application, the “A” eductor should be
selected because it is the only graph
which shows the entire dashed red line
within (to the left of) the 90 psig eductor
motive force value. Both the “B” and “C”
eductors cannot pump against a back
pressure of 22 psig at a 10 SLPM flow
rate on the 90 psig motive force curve.
Note: Eductor “C” has a
maximum return point back
pressure capability of 17 psig.
Example 2: A shelter’s Vent Header
has a total analyte volume of 33 SLPM
and the return is going back to the
process that runs from 35-45 psig. In
this case, none of the eductors have
the capacity for the application and,
the Parker Vent Master™ would be
configured for a mechanical pump.

Parker Vent Master™ Nitrogen (-EDR) Model Installation and Startup
Procedures
1. Ensure that all connections are made as
per the drawing below. It is very important to
maintain a minimum pressure drop from the
Vent Header to the outlet of PR-1. A straight
run of 3/4" tube or pipe is recommended.
7. Adjust the FI-1 rotameter needle valve to at
least 2 SLPM higher than the MAXIMUM
flow from the analyzers, keeping in mind
abnormal flow rates such as calibration gas
introduction. Example: If your analyzers
contribute 10 SLPM of flow to the vent
header, adjust the rotameter to 12 SLPM or
higher.
2. Close V-1.
3. Ensure that the eductor outlet to the flare
is not blocked. Blocking this flow will
cause PR-1 to relieve to its vent and could
cause damage to the system.
8. At this time PI-2 should read around 1" WC.
The set point of PR-1 is fixed and cannot be
field adjusted.
4. Open V-2 to initiate Nitrogen flow.
9. Open V-1.
5. Adjust PR-2 to read 20 psig on PI-1.
10. The Parker Vent Master™ is now in service
and will maintain the header at approximately
1" WC ±.15". As the flare header pressure
increases PI-3 (motive force pressure) will
increase. PI-3 will fluctuate up and down with
the flare header pressure.
6. PI-4 should read 6" Hg vacuum. If adjustment
is required, remove the small cover on the
upper left side of the case (X marks the spot
below) with a 1/8" Allen Wrench, then adjust
the set point until the vacuum is reading 6"
Hg vacuum. Reinstall the cover.

Parker Vent Master™ Pump (-PMP) Model Theory of Operation
In applications where the flow rate or back
pressure conditions exceed the capabilities
of the available eductors, or if introducing a
motive gas is not practical, an alternate pumping
method must be employed. This method usually
employs a centrifugal or positive displacement
pump (provided by others). The use of a
mechanical pump has the advantage of being
able to pump into much higher backpressures
and not introduce motive gases into the system.
The big disadvantage of course, is that they
are mechanical and require considerable
maintenance for reliable operation.
When a mechanical pump is used instead of an
eductor, the economizer circuit is not required.
Instead a vacuum regulator is used to control
the suction pressure of the pump by introducing
a gas, usually Nitrogen (or other gas compatible
with the return point), sufficient to control the
suction pressure at 6" Hg vacuum. This will
control the differential pressure across the
rotameter’s throttling valve, which will provide a
constant flow from the Vent Header. This method
will provide extremely stable flow and pressure
control of the Vent Header, at flow rates up to
200 SLPM.

Parker Vent Master™ Pump (-PMP) Model Installation and Startup Procedures
Specifying a Pump: Vent Master™ -PMP applications require a mechanical pump provided by others.
In order to properly specify a positive displacement pump, the manufacturer will need to know the following:
(1) the inlet (suction) pressure which is a constant -6" Hg
(2) the maximum analyte volumn to be pumped
(3) the maximum back pressure at the return point
(4) hazardous area classification, voltage and other electrical requirements
Air Dimensions, Incorporated (www.airdimensions.com) can assist with diaphragm pump specifications.
1. Ensure that all connections are made as
per the drawing below. It is very important
to maintain a minimum pressure drop
from the Vent Header to the outlet of
PR-1. A straight run of 3/4" tube or pipe is
recommended.
2. Close V-1.
3. Open V-2 to initiate Nitrogen flow.
4. Adjust PR-2 to read 20 psig on PI-1.
5. Turn on the pump.
6. Adjust PR-3 to read 6" Hg vacuum on PI-4.
7. Adjust the FI-1 rotameter needle valve to at
least 2 SLPM higher than to MAXIMUM flow
from the analyzers, keeping in mind abnormal
flow rates such as calibration gas introduction.
Example: If your analyzers will contribute 10
SLPM of flow to the vent header, adjust the
rotameter to 12 SLPM or higher.
8. At this time the PI-2 should read around 1"
water. This is the fixed set point of PR-1.
9. Open V-1.
10. The Parker Vent Master™ is now in service.
It will maintain the header at approximately
1" WC ±.15.

Parker Vent Master™ No Pump or Eductor (-NPE) Model Theory of Operation
The Parker Vent Master™ requires a lower
pressure on the outlet of the rotameters throttling
valve of at least -2.5 psig in order to have enough
differential pressure to produce 18 SLPM of
flow. This lower outlet pressure is provided by
either using the standard economizer circuit
with the eductor, the mechanical pump, or by an
available lower pressure in the process. Using
this available lower pressure is considered the
best way because it requires no pumps or motive
gases. The Parker Vent Master™ system uses a
vacuum isolation valve in this circuit (V-1). This
isolation valve acts as a load valve, limiting the
amount of vacuum exposed to the outlet of the
rotameter’s throttling valve. A vacuum regulator is
also employed in this circuit. The load valve limits
the amount of gas needed, from the vacuum
regulator, to control the vacuum on the rotameters
outlet valve. The vacuum regulator capacity is
limited and would not be able to counter the
external vacuum source therefore the load
limiting valve is used to limit the total flow into
the external vacuum. With the external vacuum
limited, with this valve (V-1), the vacuum regulator
can now control the vacuum on the rotameters
outlet-throttling valve.

Parker Vent Master™
Catalog 4142-VM
Safety & Maintenance Instructions
Safety Instructions
Maintenance Instructions
1. Be sure all connections are made properly.
The Parker Vent Master™ is a mechanical
system, but the only moving parts are the minor
movements of the diaphragms in the regulators.
Therefore, the Parker Vent Master™ is virtually
maintenance free.
2. On Eductor (EDR) models, make sure that
the eductor outlet to the flare is not blocked.
Blocking this flow will cause PR-1 to relieve
to its vent and could cause damage to the
system.
Note: The standard PR-1 incorporates a carbon
steel regulator body. Its wetted components come
in contact with only the Nitrogen stream, not any
of the analyzer stream components. If PR-1 is to
be located in a corrosive environment, contact the
factory for additional options.
3. The standard PR-1 regulator incorporates
an internal relief valve on its diaphragm.
The relief valve will only open when the
Vent Header pressure exceeds 7" WC. The
threaded vent port on the top of the dome
of PR-1 must be vented to a safe area and
MUST be maintained at atmospheric pressure.
ANY pressure change in the regulator's dome
connection will be reflected in the Vent Header.
The orientation of the dome vent connection
should be horizontal or facing downward to
prevent liquids from accumulating.

offered for sale at prices to be established by Seller. This offer and its acceptance by any customer (“Buyer”) shall be governed by all of the following Terms and Conditions. Buyer’s order for
any item described in its document, when communicated to Seller verbally, or in writing, shall constitute acceptance of this offer. All goods or work described will be referred to as “Products”.
1. Terms and Conditions. Seller’s willingness to offer Products, or accept an order for
Products, to or from Buyer is expressly conditioned on Buyer’s assent to these Terms
and Conditions and to the terms and conditions found on-line at www.parker.com/
saleterms/. Seller objects to any contrary or additional term or condition of Buyer’s
order or any other document issued by Buyer.
11. Buyer’s Obligation; Rights of Seller. To secure payment of all sums due or
otherwise, Seller shall retain a security interest in the goods delivered and this
agreement shall be deemed a Security Agreement under the Uniform Commercial
Code. Buyer authorizes Seller as its attorney to execute and file on Buyer’s behalf all
documents Seller deems necessary to perfect its security interest. Seller shall have
a security interest in, and lien upon, any property of Buyer in Seller’s possession as
security for the payment of any amounts owed to Seller by Buyer.
2. Price Adjustments; Payments. Prices stated on the reverse side or preceding
pages of this document are valid for 30 days. After 30 days, Seller may change prices
to reflect any increase in its costs resulting from state, federal or local legislation, price
increases from its suppliers, or any change in the rate, charge, or classification of any
carrier. The prices stated on the reverse or preceding pages of this document do not
include any sales, use, or other taxes unless so stated specifically. Unless otherwise

12. Improper use and Indemnity. Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold Seller
harmless from any claim, liability, damages, lawsuits, and costs (including attorney
fees), whether for personal injury, property damage, patent, trademark or copyright
infringement or any other claim, brought by or incurred by Buyer, Buyer’s employees,
or any other person, arising out of: (a) improper selection, improper application or
other misuse of Products purchased by Buyer from Seller; (b) any act or omission,
negligent or otherwise, of Buyer; (c) Seller’s use of patterns, plans, drawings, or
specifications furnished by Buyer to manufacture Product; or (d) Buyer’s failure to
comply with these terms and conditions. Seller shall not indemnify Buyer under any
circumstance except as otherwise provided.
3. Delivery Dates; Title and Risk; Shipment. All delivery dates are approximate and
Seller shall not be responsible for any damages resulting from any delay. Regardless
of the manner of shipment, title to any products and risk of loss or damage shall pass
to Buyer upon tender to the carrier at Seller’s facility (i.e., when it’s on the truck, it’s
yours). Unless otherwise stated, Seller may exercise its judgment in choosing the
carrier and means of delivery. No deferment of shipment at Buyers’ request beyond
the respective dates indicated will be made except on terms that will indemnify,
defend and hold Seller harmless against all loss and additional expense. Buyer shall
be responsible for any additional shipping charges incurred by Seller due to Buyer’s
changes in shipping, product specifications or in accordance with Section 13, herein.
13. Cancellations and Changes. Orders shall not be subject to cancellation or
change by Buyer for any reason, except with Seller’s written consent and upon terms
that will indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless against all direct, incidental and
consequential loss or damage. Seller may change product features, specifications,
designs and availability with notice to Buyer.
14. Limitation on Assignment. Buyer may not assign its rights or obligations under
this agreement without the prior written consent of Seller.
4. Warranty. Seller warrants that the Products sold here-under shall be free from
defects in material or workmanship for a period of twelve months from the date of
delivery to Buyer or 2,000 hours of normal use, whichever occurs first. This warranty
is made only to Buyer and does not extend to anyone to whom Products are sold
after purchased from Seller. The prices charged for Seller’s products are based
upon the exclusive limited warranty stated above, and upon the following disclaimer:
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY: THIS WARRANTY COMPRISES THE SOLE AND
ENTIRE WARRANTY PERTAINING TO PRODUCTS PROVIDED HEREUNDER.
SELLER DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED,
INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
15. Entire Agreement. This agreement contains the entire agreement between the
Buyer and Seller and constitutes the final, complete and exclusive expression of the
terms of the agreement. All prior or contemporaneous written or oral agreements or
negotiations with respect to the subject matter are herein merged.
16. Waiver and Severability. Failure to enforce any provision of this agreement will
not waive that provision nor will any such failure prejudice Seller’s right to enforce that
provision in the future. Invalidation of any provision of this agreement by legislation
or other rule of law shall not invalidate any other provision herein. The remaining
provisions of this agreement will remain in full force and effect.
17. Termination. This agreement may be terminated by Seller for any reason and
at any time by giving Buyer thirty (30) days written notice of termination. In addition,
Seller may by written notice immediately terminate this agreement for the following:
(a) Buyer commits a breach of any provision of this agreement (b) the appointment of
a trustee, receiver or custodian for all or any part of Buyer’s property (c) the filing of a
petition for relief in bankruptcy of the other Party on its own behalf, or by a third party
(d) an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (e) the dissolution or liquidation of the
Buyer.
5. Claims; Commencement of Actions. Buyer shall promptly inspect all Products
upon delivery. No claims for shortages will be allowed unless reported to the Seller
within 10 days of delivery. No other claims against Seller will be allowed unless
asserted in writing within 60 days after delivery or, in the case of an alleged breach of
warranty, within 30 days after the date within the warranty period on which the defect
is or should have been discovered by Buyer. Any action based upon breach of this
agreement or upon any other claim arising out of this sale (other than an action by
Seller for any amount due to Seller from Buyer) must be commenced within thirteen
months from the date of tender of delivery by Seller or, for a cause of action based
upon an alleged breach of warranty, within thirteen months from the date within the
warranty period on which the defect is or should have been discovered by Buyer.
18. Governing Law. This agreement and the sale and delivery of all Products
hereunder shall be deemed to have taken place in and shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, as applicable to
contracts executed and wholly performed therein and without regard to conflicts of
laws principles. Buyer irrevocably agrees and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of the courts of Cuyahoga County, Ohio with respect to any dispute,
controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this agreement. Disputes between
the parties shall not be settled by arbitration unless, after a dispute has arisen, both
parties expressly agree in writing to arbitrate the dispute.
6. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. UPON NOTIFICATION, SELLER WILL, AT ITS
OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, OR REFUND THE
PURCHASE PRICE. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE TO BUYER FOR
ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF, OR AS THE RESULT OF, THE SALE, DELIVERY, NONDELIVERY, SERVICING, USE OR LOSS OF USE OF THE PRODUCTS OR ANY
PART THEREOF, OR FOR ANY CHARGES OR EXPENSES OF ANY NATURE
INCURRED WITHOUT SELLER’S WRITTEN CONSENT, EVEN IF SELLER HAS
BEEN NEGLIGENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY CLAIM MADE BY BUYER
EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCTS.
19. Indemnity for Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights. Seller shall have
no liability for infringement of any patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade dress, trade
secrets or similar rights except as provided in this Section. Seller will defend and
indemnify Buyer against allegations of infringement of U.S. patents, U.S. trademarks,
copyrights, trade dress and trade secrets (“Intellectual Property Rights”). Seller will
defend at its expense and will pay the cost of any settlement or damages awarded in
an action brought against Buyer based on an allegation that a Product sold pursuant
to this Agreement infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party. Seller’s
obligation to defend and indemnify Buyer is contingent on Buyer notifying Seller within
ten (10) days after Buyer becomes aware of such allegations of infringement, and
Seller having sole control over the defense of any allegations or actions including
all negotiations for settlement or compromise. If a Product is subject to a claim that
it infringes the Intellectual Property Rights of a third party, Seller may, at its sole
expense and option, procure for Buyer the right to continue using the Product, replace
or modify the Product so as to make it noninfringing, or offer to accept return of the
Product and return the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no liability for claims of infringement
based on information provided by Buyer, or directed to Products delivered hereunder
for which the designs are specified in whole or part by Buyer, or infringements
resulting from the modification, combination or use in a system of any Product sold
hereunder. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall constitute Seller’s sole
and exclusive liability and Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy for infringement of
Intellectual Property Rights.
7. Contingencies. Seller shall not be liable for any default or delay in performance if
caused by circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller.
8. User Responsibility. The user, through its own analysis and testing, is solely
responsible for making the final selection of the system and Product and assuring
that all performance, endurance, maintenance, safety and warning requirements
of the application are met. The user must analyze all aspects of the application
and follow applicable industry standards and Product information. If Seller provides
Product or system options, the user is responsible for determining that such data
and specifications are suitable and sufficient for all applications and reasonably
foreseeable uses of the Products or systems.
9. Loss to Buyer’s Property. Any designs, tools, patterns, materials, drawings,
confidential information or equipment furnished by Buyer or any other items which
become Buyer’s property, may be considered obsolete and may be destroyed by Seller
after two consecutive years have elapsed without Buyer placing an order for the items
which are manufactured using such property. Seller shall not be responsible for any
loss or damage to such property while it is in Seller’s possession or control.
10. Special Tooling. A tooling charge may be imposed for any special tooling,
including without limitation, dies, fixtures, molds and patterns, acquired to manufacture
Products. Such special tooling shall be and remain Seller’s property notwithstanding
payment of any charges by Buyer. In no event will Buyer acquire any interest in
apparatus belonging to Seller which is utilized in the manufacture of the Products,
even if such apparatus has been specially converted or adapted for such manufacture
and notwithstanding any charges paid by Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed, Seller shall
have the right to alter, discard or otherwise dispose of any special tooling or other
property in its sole discretion at any time.
20. Taxes. Unless otherwise indicated, all prices and charges are exclusive of excise,
sales, use, property, occupational or like taxes which may be imposed by any taxing
authority upon the manufacture, sale or delivery of Products.
21. Equal Opportunity Clause. For the performance of government contracts and
where dollar value of the Products exceed $10,000, the equal employment opportunity
clauses in Executive Order 11246, VEVRAA, and 41 C.F.R. §§ 60-1.4(a), 60-741.5(a),
and 60-250.4, are hereby incorporated.
