ControlAir Type 6000 High Flow Capacity Volume Booster

Click2Contact

The Type 6000 Volume Booster from ControlAir is a one-to-one signal to output relay that, when used with a positioner/actuator, is designed to increase the stroking speed of control valves. A large input signal change to the volume booster delivers high-volume, fast-action throttling control. An integral bypass valve provides system stability while allowing normal positioner airflow and normal valve actuation with small input changes. If the volume booster is to be used for on/off control valves, the bypass valve can be closed to optimise stroking speed. The Type 6000 is available in aluminium or 316 stainless steel construction.

The fast response of the Type 6000 delivers high air volume for rapid actuator stroking. It consists of an adjustable bypass valve tuning unit that responds to eliminate actuator overshoot or overdamping. There is also soft seat sealing to provide tight shutoff and reduce costly air consumption. Type 6000 volume booster is corrosion and wear resistant, made of stainless steel for external trim and internal wear parts. There is a choice of 1/2″ or 3/4″ NPT supply and output ports. The material used for the diaphragms is either nitrile or nylon, and the bypass valve and springs are made of 304 stainless steel. Special versions are available with EPDM or silicone elastomers and stainless steel internals.
