High flow capacity volume booster

Quick Links

The Type-6100 volume booster is a 1:1 signal to output relay that is utilized in applications that require high
forward flow and exhaust capacities. Typically used to increase throttling speed of large volume valve
actuators. Suitable for either diaphragm or piston actuators. A fixed deadband and adjustable bypass valve
combine to allow small incremental downstream adjustment without opening the main booster valve. The
bypass valve is used to adjust dynamic response to provide stable operation over a wide range of actuator
sizes.

  • Page 1 TYPE-6100 High Flow Capacity Volume Booster The Type-6100 volume booster is a 1:1 signal to output relay that is utilized in applications that require high forward flow and exhaust capacities. Typically used to increase throttling speed of large volume valve actuators.
  • Page 2 3.1 Pre-Installation Requirements 3.1.1 The Type-6100 requires a source of clean, oil-free dry instrument grade air filtered to 40 microns. 3.1.2 Air should be free of all contaminants and hazardous gases, flammable or toxic. 3.1.3 Clean all pipelines of dirt and scale prior to installation.
  • Page 3 3.2 Installation 3.2.1 Install the booster so that direction of flow is from Inlet to Outlet as labeled “IN” and “OUT” marked on the body. Inlet and outlet porting is 1/4", 1/2" or 3/4" NPT. The signal port is 1/4" NPT. Tighten all connections securely.
  • Page 4 Under normal circumstances, no maintenance should be required. 5.1 Repairs 5.1.1 In the event of unit failure, the Type-6100 can be returned to the factory through point of purchase for warranty repair if the warranty period has not expired. 5.1.2 All units returned for repair must be authorized prior to receipt at the factory. Contact a representative at the point of purchase to receive a Return Authorization Number 5.1.3 Repair kit for the Type-6100 is available.
