Maximum discharge temperature is 375°F (190°C). Maximum temperature is based on a 70°F (21°C) inlet temperature.
For inlet temperatures below 70°F (21°C), maximum allowable temperature rise across the vacuum booster should also
never exceed 305°F (170°C).
Table 4-1 – Specifications
To permit continued satisfactory performance, a
vacuum booster must be operated within certain
approved limiting conditions. The manufacturer’s
warranty is, of course, also contingent on such
operation.
Maximum limits for pressure, temperature,
and speed are specified in
“Table 4-1 –
Specifications” on page 8
for various
booster sizes when operated under the standard
atmospheric conditions. Do not exceed any of
these limits.
EXAMPLE: Operation of a vacuum booster
seldom results in pressure differentials large
enough to strain the booster drive train (bearings,
gears, and seals). Typically in vacuum boosting,
the maximum allowable temperature limit (the limit
is a function of the temperature rise as well as the
inlet temperature) for any particular booster may
occur well before the maximum speed or allowable
power rating is reached. Temperature rise then
becomes the limiting condition. In other words,
the operating limit is always to be determined
by the maximum rating reached first, and it can
be any one of the three: temperature, speed, or
horsepower.
