ParticipantContact Clippard at 513- 521-4261 and ask about their ES-1 Electric switch.Regards.

ParticipantIt is commonly called an Air Booster / Air Intensifier.
admin
ParticipantFirst, a booster usually describes an air to air unit. An intenifier is usually an air to oil unit. Many companies make boosters; however, the operating principles are all the same.Basically, there is air in, air out and some check valves to con
admin
ParticipantAir to Air Boosters are simple devices and can be made from standard air cylinders and valves or can be purchased from several manufacturers such as you mentioned and others.The lowest intensification I have ever worked with is 2:1 but the intensi

ParticipantWell informed responses all the way around. I will just add one more thing to keep in mind. Do you need 14 SCFM continously? That is a pretty good flow from an amplifier. Could you get away with a smaller amplifier filling a resevoir, and havi

ParticipantIts a booster u need as advised.Many cos make em.Festo, SMC, Haskel, etc.Make sure if you sell on that waht you make/buy are pressure certified.The festo one is and is great product

ParticipantMidwest Pressure Systems sells turnkey air pressure booster packages that fit a wide range of applications.

ParticipantI am not sure there is enough information here to suggest a specific valve. However, you should be able to use a small direct acting valve. The Clippard EV is a great valve and may work for this application.Anyone would need to know the size of th

ParticipantThe bellows are approximately the size of a 1.5liter nalgene bottle. They are to fill or empty in about one second, going from 0 to 0.3psi. Do you know where we could find a pressure and volume vs fill time chart or formula? I’ve seen them, but on
admin
ParticipantMaybe I misunderstood what you were originally asking. It sounded like you were filling the bellows with a valve, then dumping to atmosphere using the bellows as the exhaust mechanism.Now that I have a clearer picture of what you are doing I can
admin
ParticipantI understand what you are trying to do. A single 3-way valve could be used to alternate between pressure and vacuum to the bellows. If you want a third option to block” the bellows to hold the air pressure in it

ParticipantFirst off, SCFM is the flow of standard cubic foot of free air per minute. This assumes there are no restrictions in the line which could cause pressure drop. An example is a piece of straight pipe. Cv on the other hand takes into account press
admin
ParticipantHello Marlene,SCFM is a measurement of gas flow under a certain set of circumstances. Cv is a coefficient that can be used in a calculation to determine flow under a certain set of conditions. Cv is really more about a device’s “characteristics”
admin
ParticipantMarlene,A lot of good information has been offered up on this subject already, but I think that there is one remaining point that makes the distinction between providing Cv vs SCFM for valves and frls. Directional valves (not ball or globe types)

ParticipantThanks to everyone for answering my question. I have a good understanding of why, so now I can work out how.Thanks again.
