Attempted to dispatch aircraft with pressure regulator valve inoperative on maintenance carry over. Required numerous procedures for air crew to perform to accommodate, as well as no icing (MEL 36-11-01) WX dispatch. It was clearly maintenance carry over to be used for getting aircraft to maintenance station for repair. It was not for taking full plane load of passenger 3 1/2 hours. Refused aircraft.
