SITE REQUIREMENTS
2.3.1
SITE
There are no special site requirements.
The GB-152-AF gas booster system is divided into two parts: the Gas Booster itself and the
Drive Air Control Kit. The two parts are separated so that they may be installed separately.
The gas booster, which is large and relatively noisy, does not need to be accessed regularly.
It is generally mounted out of the way, for example under and behind a work bench.
The booster may be set horizontally or vertically.
Connections of gas supplies and output need to be considered carefully when selecting the
installation site.
See Sections 2.2 and 2.4 for additional recommendations.
2.3.2
GAS SUPPLIES
Two sources of gas pressure are required to operate the gas booster. They are drive air
(see Section 2.3.2.1) and high pressure instrument gas (see Section 2.3.2.2).
2.3.2.1
DRIVE AIR SUPPLY
The drive air supply provides power to operate the booster. The booster’s very
high pressure output is approximately the drive air pressure multiplied by 152.
This supply is usually “shop” or “factory” air.
Drive air requirements are:
Flow rate:
15 scfm (425 slm) minimum
Cleanliness: Not critical, use 60 micron filter
Humidity:
20 to 50 % RH. Do not use dry gas
Pressure:
75 psi (500 kPa)
Depending on the drive pressure set by the DRIVE ADJUST regulator,
GB-152-AF may generate pressure over 70 MPa (10 000 psi). To limit the maximum
pressure that can be generated by the booster, limit the drive air supply to the Drive
Air Control Kit to 75 psi (500 kPa) (see Section 2.3.2.1).
2.3.2.2
HIGH PRESSURE INSTRUMENT GAS
High pressure instrument gas is boosted by the booster and output from the
booster high pressure
OUT
port.
High pressure instrument gas supply requirements are:
Flow rate:
5 scfm (140 slm) minimum
Cleanliness: Use clean, dry instrument grade gases only.
Pressure:
400 to 3 000 psi (2 to 20 MPa)
Maximum boosted pressure output is high pressure supply
times 25.
