Bootstrap Compressor 2:1 Ratio Air Pressure Booster With 60 Gallon Receiver Tank The Bootstrap Compressor is an air-driven, air pressure booster. It requires no electricity, cooling water, or air-line lubricator and is explosionproof. Shop air is fed to the inlet port through a filter, and is split into two streams inside the booster. One stream flows to the compressor portion of the unit and is boosted to higher pressure. The other stream drives the compressor portion, and is consumed during booster operation. The drive air stream is regulated to maintain the discharge pressure set by the external regulator handle. Drive air consumption is approximately 1/2 to 1 times the amount of pressureboosted air. For example, if 10 scfm of high pressure air is required, the Bootstrap Compressor will need 15-20 scfm of shop air, and 5-10 scfm of that air will be vented through an exhaust silencer. For a given shop air pressure, Model R60S can deliver high pressure air at any flowrate up to the maximum shown on the curves below. The pressure regulator enables the booster to adjust automatically to changes in high pressure air demand or shop air pressure. When there is no demand for high pressure air, the booster stalls at the discharge pressure set by the regulator and consumes no energy. When there is a need for high pressure air, the tank pressure drops which causes the booster to restart automatically. MODEL R60S FEATURES A. Inlet pressure gauge B. Discharge pressure gauge C.
