Zusammenfassung:A field of pneumatically-actuated regulator valves, and more specifically a regulator valve for regulating a flow of gas from an upstream duct to a downstream duct. The regulator valve has a passage to enable the upstream duct to communicate with the downstream duct, a movable member arranged to vary a flow section of the passage, and an actuator with an internal chamber in communication with an exhaust duct and an admission duct to connect to the upstream duct, the actuator being arranged to move the movable member. For control purposes, the regulator valve has a control unit incorporating at least one state observer to estimate at least one pressure that exists in the internal chamber from a measured position of the movable member and from a measured upstream pressure, and from an opening value for at least one valve installed in the admission duct and/or the exhaust duct.
