ABOUT THIS MANUAL GB-152-AF is usually delivered as part of an PGC-10000-AF system which also includes an RPM4 A70M/A20M-AF reference pressure monitor and a GPC1-1000-AF pressure controller. The RPM4/HPMS and GPC1 have their own Operation and Maintenance Manuals. Manual Conventions (CAUTION) is used in throughout the manual to identify user warnings and cautions. - Page 8 GB-152-AF™ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page VI...

1. INTRODUCTION PRODUCT OVERVIEW The GB-152-AF gas booster with control kit is intended to provide very high pressure gas supply in a PGC-10000-AF Pneumatic Gauge Calibration System. The GB-152-AF includes a pneumatically driven, piston type, self-cycling gas booster. The gas booster boosts a lower pressure, generally supplied from a bottle (300 psi (20 MPa) minimum), to higher pressure. -

2. INSTALLATION UNPACKING AND INSPECTION The GB-152-AF booster is delivered enclosed in plastic bag and secured by foam in place in a corrugated box. The Drive Air Control Kit and Interconnections Kit are included in the same box. Remove all parts from the shipping box and plastic bag. Be sure not to lose or discard the Drive Air Control Kit and Interconnections Kit. -

GPC1-10000-AF: Gas pressure controller used to set and adjust high pressure gas in the calibration system. • GB-152-AF: Gas booster package used to supply gas pressure up to 10 000 psi (70 MPa) to the GPC1-10000-AF pressure controller. Each of the three components of the PGC-10000-AF system has its own Operation and Maintenance Manual and individual setup and start up instructions. -
Page 15: Site Requirements
SITE There are no special site requirements. The GB-152-AF gas booster system is divided into two parts: the Gas Booster itself and the Drive Air Control Kit. The two parts are separated so that they may be installed separately. The gas booster, which is large and relatively noisy, does not need to be accessed regularly. -
Page 16: Installation And Initial Setup
If the GB-151-AF is being installed as part of a PGC-10000-AF Pneumatic Gauge Calibration System, see Section 2.2. The GB-152-AF gas booster system is divided into two parts: the gas booster itself and the Drive Air Control Kit. The two parts are separate so that they may be installed separately. -
Page 17: Booster Installation
Connect the Drive Air Supply Kit SHUTOFF valve output to the booster DRIVE AIR INPUT port using the 6 ft (2 m) length of 1/4 in. PFA tubing provided in the GB-152-AF accessories. Both fittings are 1/4 in. swage. Page 9... -
Page 18: Booster High Pressure Instrument Gas Supply Connection
The GB-152-AF includes an interconnection kit with fittings necessary to connect the high pressure OUT port to a GPC1. To connect the GB-152-AF high pressure OUT port to the GCP1 SUPPLY port, proceed as follows: Remove the orange plastic dummy plug from the DH500 fitting in the GB-152 OUT port. -

Depending on the drive pressure set by the DRIVE ADJUST regulator, GB-152-AF may generate pressure over 70 MPa (10 000 psi). To limit the maximum pressure that can be generated by the booster, limit the drive air supply to the Drive Air Control Kit to 75 psi (500 kPa) (see Section 2.3.2.1). -
Page 20: Initial Start Up
DRIVE gauge. Set the drive pressure to the maximum desired high pressure output divided by the booster ratio (152 for GB-152-AF). Do not set the regulator to more than 65 psi (450 kPa). Remember that when the SHUTOFF valve is in the ON position, the booster will operate until the high pressure output is equal to the drive air setting times the booster ratio. -
Page 21: O P E R A T I O
Then, the opposing forces within the pump are in equilibrium and the pump stalls. For example, using a GB-152-AF with the drive air pressure set to 45 psi (300 kPa), the pump will run until the high pressure output reaches approximately 152 x 45 = 6840 psi. -
Page 22: Operation
(152:1). For example, if the desired high pressure output of the GB-152-AF is 10 000 psi, set the drive air pressure to 10000/152 = 66 psi. Remember that when the SHUTOFF valve is in the ON position, the booster will operate until the high pressure output is equal to the drive air setting times the booster ratio. -
Page 23: Turning The Booster On And Off
Emergency shut-down of the gas booster pump can be performed at any time by closing the Drive Air Control Kit SHUTOFF Valve. This will prevent further generation of gas pressure by the pump but WILL NOT NECESSARILY reduce pressure to high pressure point-of-use.

A stalled state occurs when the pressure in the high pressure section of the booster is equal to the pressure in the low pressure section times the ratio (152). A stall can only occur if the high pressure circuit is plugged. Page 19 © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company... -
Page 28: Booster Runs Too Slowly
Open the drive air SHUTOFF valve. The booster should cycle several times then stall. If the booster does not stall, a failure of the booster check valves is the most likely cause. In this case, the booster needs service. Contact a DHI Authorized Service Provider. © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page 20... -
Page 29: Booster Runs (Cycles) Continuously
Check that the drive air is set at the correct value and that it is supplied to the booster. See Section 2.3.2.1. • Check that no leaks exist in any of the pressure circuits. Repair any existing leaks. Page 21 © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company... -
Page 30: Leaks
If the booster begins to operate normally, set the drive air SHUTOFF valve to OFF, reinstall the muffler and reset regulators to previous settings. Repeat the process until the booster begins normal operation. If normal operation cannot be restored, contact a DHI Authorized Service Provider. © 2007 DH Instruments, a Fluke Company Page 22... -
