How Gas Boosters add value to a process

For many people, the only sources of motive power in engineering systems are either electricity or fossil fuel burning engines. In many cases, this is true because these two sources are able to generate a very high ratio of efficiency for a given input.

However, as many machine tool specialists know, these two sources of power are often not appropriate for delicate machine tool fabrication process. Similarly, a number of processes demand progressive increase or decrease in pressure. These two are not the only scenarios where alternate sources of power are essential to the high performance of the system.

In these scenarios, where electricity or foist fuel energy could not be used, air pressure is the only viable source left for the process. In addition, air pressure is also considered an appropriate source for delicate machine tools that could sustain damage when connected to other power sources.

Compressors that are designed to compress gases and decrease the area could generate air pressure. This increases the pressure of the gas at the output. However, in the case of air operated tools, the compressors are not a recommended source of motive power. The tools require pressure at various levels. A compressor has limited capability of providing variable pressure. This is the job for a gas pressure booster. The component could generate and deliver a specific volume of gas pressure by simply varying the intake air pressure.

A very different area where gas pressure is essential for engineering, fabrication and manufacturing processes is pneumatic power delivery. Many clamps and similar gripping apparatuses could not use hydraulic power because of various reasons such as danger of leaked fluids or contamination issues. In such cases, high pressure air is used to power the clamps and other pneumatically powered systems.

Welding is a very familiar part of many engineering processes. Infect, it is one of the most popular and wide spread technique of joining metal parts. Gas pressure is essential in several high value welding processes. In industrial processes utilizing large scale fabrication techniques, it is important to understand the role of welding in the overall process.

Welding is often the later stages of the fabrication. In many cases, this is the last stage of the process where parts fabricated in earlier stages are joined together to come up with the final product.  In order to accomplish this task, welding stations are located very far down the road. This means that the gasses required for welding must travel a long distance to reach their destination. In the absence of any gas pressure boosters, the gas pressure at welding stations would be inadequate for any practical purposes. This is why gas pressure boosters are an integral component of many industrial welding processes.

For all these purposes, has pressure boosters are ideal equipment. These devices are able to generate variable pressure that could be notched up or down depending upon the requirement of the process. This distinguishes these devices for air compressors that could only generate a limited range of pressure.
