An air booster pump utilizes low-pressure gas driven by a large-area piston end to produce high-pressure fluid at a small-area piston end. It is used for compressing air and other gases, and the output pressure can be infinitely adjusted by the driving pressure. It is applicable in environments where the original air compression system needs to increase pressure. So, how to maintain an air booster pump?

Air Compressor Maintenance and Care Precautions

Pressure and Sealing Rings

When using an air booster pump, it is crucial to adjust the driving pressure between 3-8bar. The economic operating pressure for the driving pressure is 6bar. Additionally, the driving pressure must be kept clean, dry, and free of moisture. It is generally required that customers install an oil-water separator and a three-way piece to ensure the normal operation of the air booster pump's driving cylinder and directional valve, as well as to extend the lifespan of the sealing ring!

2. Maintain the cleanliness of the pressurized gas

Air-increasing pump with added filter ensures the cleanliness of the pressurized gas medium, serving as a secondary protection measure. Additionally, if the high-pressure outlet exceeds the recommended pressure, it is suggested to install burst discs or other safety protective measures. If a buffer tank or gas tank is required for the high-pressure outlet, note that the pressure vessel must be purchased with a rated pressure value higher than the pump's output pressure (with a pressure vessel certificate).

3. Pay attention during inspections.

Ensure maintenance checks on the air booster pump are conducted without pressure. Turn off the drive, shut down the intake pressure, relieve the high-pressure output, and then perform maintenance checks. Additionally, it is recommended to communicate with technicians or follow video guidance for maintenance procedures.
