TURNING THE BOOSTER ON AND OFF
The booster is turned ON and OFF using the
SHUTOFF
valve of the Drive Air Control Kit.
The
SHUTOFF
valve controls the supply of drive pressure to the booster.
Set the
SHUTOFF
valve to the ON position to supply drive pressure to the booster and cause
it to operate.
Set the
SHUTOFF
valve to the OFF position to interrupt drive pressure to the booster and
stop its operation.
When the booster is OFF, the high pressure supply is still present at the high pressure gas
OUT port. This feature makes it easy to operate using the high pressure supply only when the
booster is not needed.
Emergency shut-down of the gas booster pump can be performed at any time by closing the
Drive Air Control Kit SHUTOFF Valve. This will prevent further generation of gas pressure by the
pump but WILL NOT NECESSARILY reduce pressure to high pressure point-of-use.
