The Air Booster is made with combination of reciprocating pneumatic cylinders, 3/2 solenoid valve, and non-return / check valves. It draws compressed air supply at the end-use application point, increases pressure up to two times (some claim up to 10 times). Instead of increasing the entire air grid pressure, only point of use pressure can be increased for applications requring small flow and high pressure, thereby saving substantial energy that would have consumed by air compressors.
They have inverse flow characteristics – as the output pressure is increased, flow capacity is reduced. They consume about 20% of compressed air for 2:1 pressure boost ratio.
Application of the air-to-air booster at the end-use applications requiring high pressure:
