Booster Operation The piston in the drive cylinder is attached to the piston in the boost cylinder. As the drive piston reciprocates, it compresses the gas in the boost cylinder. Please visit www.midwestpressuresystems.com/animation/boosteranimation.htm for an animation of how the booster operates. The boost cylinder is double-acting, i.e., it pulls gas in on one side while pumping it out on the other. The maximum pressure boost ratio is equal to the drive piston area divided by the boost piston area. For example: A booster with a five inch diameter drive piston and a three inch diameter...

Booster Accessories: Drive air controls Drive air filter and regulator Purpose of drive air controls Drive air controls add a 5 micron filter and regulator to the air supply line. The regulator allows air supply pressure to be reduced before entering the drive section of the booster. Reducing the drive air pressure has two main benefits. 1. Decrease the discharge pressure MPS boosters are designed to deliver the maximum flow and discharge pressure for a given set of operating conditions. For most applications the maximum discharge pressure is higher than required. Reducing the drive air...

Booster systems with receiver tanks Receiver Tank Benefits 1. Pulsation Dampening During operating the discharge line will experience about ± 2 psi due to the lag time between piston strokes. The pulsations may effect the consistency of sensitive equipment down stream of the booster. Adding a receiver tank will drastically reduce the pulsations down to ± 0.5 psi. Pulsations can be completely removed from the discharge line by adding a regulator after the receiver tank. 2. Extra storage A receiver tank allows for excess air/gas storage which helps manage surges or sudden flow rate demands. The...
