Booster (pneumatics)
The booster is used in pneumatics to increase air volumes. By activating the signal air pressure on a rubber membrane , the valve cone connected to the membrane is opened, through which the working air volume to be regulated flows. A compressed air flow is therefore available at the output connection of the booster valve, the pressure of which corresponds exactly to the signal pressure, but has a much higher volume flow .
The increase in the amount of air enables the travel times of fast- acting control valves to be significantly accelerated . Booster find diverse application on high-performance pneumatic control valves in the chemical , especially in the NH 3 - synthesis .
