The Most Revolutionary

ELECTRIC GAS BOOSTER In Its Class
RATED TO 10,000-PSI (690 BAR)

Series 2G Electric Driven Booster package is
ideal for filling or topping off low-pressure
and high-pressure bottles. Its two-stage
and double acting design uses NO Belts or
Pulleys, making it the quietest Electric
Driven Booster in its class; only 60 dBA. Air
cooled thru its gas barrels inside cooling sleeves
reducing the heat of compression for long seal life.

Hydraulics International air driven air pressure
amplifiers operate using the principle of differential areas.
Like any air tool, they operate from a single shop air
connection for most applications. The air used for cycling
exhausts through the muffler provided, or may be piped
out of the area. The rest of the air is compressed to a
higher pressure output. When output demand stops, the
unit will stall in a force balanced condition consuming no
power nor generating any heat. When output demand
resumes, the unit automatically responds and cycles at
the rate needed to meet that demand, up to the units
capacity.
Output Flow Reaches Maximum as the amplifier’s output
pressure approaches the plant air input pressure. Output
Flow Drops to Zero as the unit reaches theoretical stall. This
value is estimated by multiplying input pressure x the last
digit of the model number, e.g. model 5A-DS-5 with 100
PSI plant air input will stall at approximately 500 PSI, model
5A-DS-2 at approximately 200 PSI. In practice however,
controlling the maximum pressure desired is usually done
with an external control.

FEATURES • BENEFITS • APPLICATIONS
• Compact: installs off the floor, out of the way, in any
position.
• 2 connections: plant air in, amplified air out. (Pilot air
connection is optional for start-stop control with a PCV
valve or solenoid valve and pressure switch).
• Can replace a dedicated air compressor: 10 HP size
in a typical large plant spot requirement for 100 PSI
when only 80 PSI is available. (Model 5A-DS-2)
• Replace bottled nitrogen: up to 700 PSI for air
testing, lab or production. (Model 5A-DS-5)

5A-DS-5

INSTALLATION AND CONTROLS
Although there are a number of options for controlling
these units, a final recommendation will be based on how
the high pressure output air is to be used. Perhaps the most
common type of control is that similar to a conventional air
compressor:
1. Amplify the air into a receiver tank, ASME coded if
permanently mounted.
2. Provide a safety relief valve at maximum rated tank
pressure.
3. Provide a pressure switch* set to stop the air amplifier
unit at about 95% of safety relief valve setting.
4. Provide an air or gas regulator (reducing valve) on the
tank output set at the minimum useable amplified air
pressure for the application.

* The pressure switch need not be electrical. Instead, the
HII series of PCV valves performs this function in one simple
unit with no electrical input required. (Ref. Fig.A, Pg. 3)
