What is the required driving air source and requirements for pneumatic compressed air booster pump

Pneumatic compressed air booster pump is a power source that uses compressed air or other pressurized air sources to perform secondary or multi-stage boosting on existing compressed air to achieve the purpose of using pressure. But it also has certain requirements for the driving gas source. Below, the editor will give you a brief introduction.

The gas source must be clean, non corrosive, and ordinary gases such as compressed air, nitrogen, etc. The gas source should have a certain pressure, and the flow rate should meet various factors such as usage requirements.

The purity and medium of the driving air source can affect its service life. Ordinary compressed air that has not passed through a refrigerated dryer or filter will have a certain amount of moisture and impurities. These moisture and impurities entering the interior of the booster pump will form resistance and affect its working efficiency. Long term use will scratch its sealing ring and cylinder. Gas sources with special properties such as carbon dioxide and oxygen can also affect their lifespan. Gaseous carbon dioxide will cool down during circulation, causing water droplets to form when the temperature is too low, which will affect its service life. If oxygen is used, it will affect the stability of the directional valve during switching. It is not recommended to use oxygen as the driving factor.

The driving gas source must have a pressure range. If it is too small, it cannot drive the booster pump, and if it is too high, it will affect its service life. Due to differences in quality and technology, there is also a certain gap in the requirements for the driving gas source pressure of domestic booster pumps. Good booster pumps are within the driving range of 1-8 bar, while slightly inferior ones are 3-7 bar. The larger the driving range, the larger the corresponding usage range. If the boost ratio is the same, the usage range depends on which driving range is larger.

Pneumatic compressed air booster pumps also have certain requirements for flow consumption. The flow rate affects the flow rate of the pressurized medium. If the driving flow rate is sufficient, the booster pump can reach the peak flow rate. If the driving gas source flow rate decreases, the corresponding flow rate of the pressurized medium will also decrease.
