Model 4500A Pneumatic Volume Booster
Features
• Five signal to output ratios meet most
control element requirements.
• Control sensitivity of 1" water column
allows use in precision applications.
• Large Supply and Exhaust Valves provide
high forward and exhaust flows.
• Soft Supply and Exhaust Valve seats
minimize air consumption.
• A balanced Supply Valve minimizes
the effect of supply pressure variation.
C • A
n Aspirator Tube compensates down
stream pressure droop under flow
conditions.
Model
4500A • A
separate Control Chamber isolates
the diaphragm from the main flow to
eliminate hunting and buzzing.
• Optional remote feedback port minimizes
pressure drop at final control element
under flow conditions.
ptional Adjustable By-Pass Needle Valve
• O
option includes bubble tight exhaust valve
allows tuning for optimum dynamic
response (1:1 ratio only) and cycle free
operation with valve positioners
nit construction lets you service the Model
• U
4500A without removing it from the line.
• C
anadian Registration Number (CRN)
certification for all territories and provinces.
Operating Principles
When signal pressure on the top of the
Signal Diaphragm creates a downward
force on the Diaphragm Assembly, the
Supply Valve opens. Output pressure flows
through the Outlet Port and the Aspirator
Tube to the Control Chamber to create an
upward force on the bottom of the Control
Diaphragm. When the setpoint is reached,
the force of the signal pressure that acts on
the top of the Signal Diaphragm balances
with the force of the output pressure that
acts on the bottom of the Control Diaphragm
to close the Supply Valve.
When the output pressure increases above
the signal pressure, the Diaphragm
Assembly moves upward to close the
Supply Valve and open the Exhaust Valve.
Because the Poppet Valve is closed,
pressure flows down the Connecting Tube
to the bottom of the Motor Diaphragm. This
pressure keeps the Supply Valve tightly
closed while in the exhaust mode. The
Poppet Valve opens and excess output
pressure exhausts through the vent in the
side of the unit until it reaches the setpoint.
