AIR-AIR PRESSURE MULTIPLIER (BOOSTER) The air-air pressure multiplier, or booster, is an automatic device that compresses air to give an outlet pressure that is double the inlet pressure. It is normally used to locally intensify the input pressure of one or more actuators. As it is entirely pneumatic it can be used when electric devices are not recommended. The booster can be supplied with or without a pressure regulator. It is fitted with check valves that maintain the outlet pressure even when the supply of compressed air is switched off. This means it is necessary to interrupt the supply and relieve the circuit before intervening on the device in any way. It is advisable to install a tank after the booster to prevent fluctuations in outlet pressure.

Wall or panel In any position OPERATING LAYOUT The pressure booster is comprised of a central body (with one - valve, one - valve and four check valves), two side liners and a through rod on which two pistons are mounted. The supply air is compressed alternately by the two pistons in one of the two central chambers (B and C); the other central chamber and one of the two side chambers (A and D) operate the pistons; the external chamber, which is not involved in compression, is relieved. Air compressed at a ratio of : passes through a check valve that maintains the output pressure even when compressed air is no longer supplied. The valves in the central body, which are operated by mechanical pusher pistons, switch the function of the two pairs of chambers (A and D, B and C) at each piston stroke. A B C D -

The graphs are valid for any inlet pressure between and bar. The following formula can be used to calculate the time t (sec) required to switch from pressure ratio to pressure ratio in a tank of volume V (litres): t = V (t t) where t and t are the times shown on the x-axis, corresponding to ratios and. E.g. =. => t =. sec =. => t = sec The time required to switch from to with a -litre tank is: t = (.) sec = 8.7 sec
