Air Pressure Amplifers

Product catalog summary
Introduction to Haskel Air Amplifiers
An Air Pressure Amplifier increases the pressure of incoming compressed air using a differential area piston assembly. It operates without air line lubrication due to unique seal technology, stalling at maximum outlet pressure and resuming when a pressure drop is detected.
Key Features
  • Long seal life and easy maintenance
  • No risk of heat, flame, or spark
  • Wide range of models and options
  • No air line lubrication required
  • Variable outlet pressure and flow capability
  • Control of maximum pressure via air drive pressure regulators
Applications and Sizing
Suitable for various industrial applications, proper sizing considers outlet pressure, air drive pressure, supply pressure, and required flow. Application data such as duty cycle and high-pressure requirements are crucial.
Operation Guidelines
For high outlet pressure applications, consider moisture content in compressed air to avoid maintenance issues. Dry gases like nitrogen are recommended for high-pressure sections. Manage cycling rate and operation in unloaded conditions to prevent excessive wear.
Cycle Rates and Performance
Maximum outlet flow and cycling speed are determined by performance curves. Continuous duty applications should derate cycling speed to extend seal life. Multiple units can be used in parallel to meet flow requirements.
Model Selection and Performance Curves
Various models with different ratios and performance capabilities are available. Performance curves help determine the appropriate model based on outlet pressure and flow requirements. The amplifiers automatically cycle to maintain pressure when a drop is detected.
Optional Modifications
Modifications include air controls, stroke counters, and extreme service cycling options, enhancing functionality and adaptability for specific applications.
Standard Vertical Air Amplifier Systems
These systems provide amplified pressure and high flow using available plant air, stalling once the storage tank is filled and resuming operation when air is used.
Specifications
Specifications for air pilot switches and air pressure amplifiers include the MA-1 model with settings within a 50-180 psi range and the AAD-2-MA-1 set at 70 psi. The AAD-5 model controls up to 200 psi with options for ASME receivers.
Procedures
Instructions for specifying normally closed and open air pilot switches are provided, detailing the use of -53376 and -53375 before model numbers for specific configurations.
Standards and Options
Semi-standard air controls are available for the AAD-2 model, with optional factory-installed controls based on pressure and application requirements. Optional modifications include external pilot modification, stroke counters, and extreme service cycling modifications.
Recommendations
External pilot air is recommended for model conversions, with schematics provided for standard modifications. Selecting the correct model and configuration is emphasized for optimal performance.
Key Data from Schematics and Charts
Schematics illustrate air inlet and outlet specifications, with a maximum air inlet of 130 psi and outlet of 190 psi. Various optional modifications are listed with corresponding numbers.

Introduction Haskel air pressure amplifiers offer the most comprehensive range in the industry combining simple principles of operaƟon with rugged construcƟon suitable for the most demanding industrial applicaƟons. Why use Haskel Air Amplifiers? An alternaƟve to the purchase of a dedicated high pressure compressor, Haskel air amplifiers are compact, require no electrical or mechanical drive connecƟons, are powered by the same air that they amplify, and can be mounted in any posiƟon. Long seal life and easy maintainance No heat, flame or spark risk. Wide range of models, controls, and opƟons. No air...

Sizing Air Amplifiers Several factors are involved in the proper sizing of Haskel air amplifiers. Some involve the specific parameters of the applicaƟon while some involve the applicaƟon itself. Specific parameters include: • What is the outlet pressure required (Po)? • What is the minimum available air drive pressure (Pa)? • What is the available air drive flow (Qa)? • What is the supply pressure (Ps)? (In most cases, Pa = Ps) • What is the required flow (Q) at the outlet pressure? More than one amplifier may be required: in certain high flow or heavy duty applicaƟons two or more amplifiers can be used...

Drive Size Max Air Drive Model In (mm) PSIG (BAR) Ratio Max Inlet PSIG Max Outlet (BAR) PSIG (BAR) Using Performance Curves All Haskel air amplifiers are variable pressure, variable flow devices within the limits of their sizes and ratios. Outlet pressure can be controlled by regulating the air drive and/or air supply pressure (depending on model) while outlet flow can be controlled by adjusting the air flow to the drive piston with a corresponding change in cycle rate. Performance curves are provided for the various ratios for each horsepower size. The curves provide performance data for the...

Standard Vertical Air Amplifier Systems A complete pneumaƟc system designed to provide amplified pressure and momentary high flow. VerƟcal receiver reduces footprint, saving floor space. UƟlizes available plant air (up to 95 psi) to both the supply and drive inlets which automaƟcally stalls once the storage tank has been filled to about double the supply pressure. The amplifier will sense any use of air from the tank, and resume operaƟon again to stall at about 5 Ɵmes supply pressure. The regulator on the tank output is provided to control the output pressure and flow, up to about (momentarily) 150...
