Booster Regulator/Air Tank

Transcription

1 Booster Regulator/Air Tank Increase factory air pressure by up to 4 times! Air-only operation requires no power supply, reduces heat generation, and Boost pressure allows easy installation. NEW Renewed model with pressure increase ratio to 4 times (VBAA) Factory line 0.3 MPa Booster Regulator + Air Tank 0.6 MPa New Heavy RoHS 0.3 MPa 0.3 MPa Light Compressor 0.3 MPa Light No power supply or wiring needed There is no need to install dedicated electrical wiring. Easy installation Simply insert the unit in the air line. Requires far less space than installing the compressor. Low heat generation Very little heat is generated because no electricity is used, and there is no impact on cylinders, solenoid valves, etc. Air-only operation Operation is safe because no electricity is used.

Refer to the separate operation manual for the connection method. Caution Design. System configuration The of the booster regulator has metallic mesh to prevent dust from entering the booster regulator. However, it cannot remove dust continuously or separate drainage. Make sure to install a mist separator (AM series) on the inlet side of the booster regulator. The booster regulator has a sliding part inside, and it generates dust. Also, install an air purification device such as an air filter or a mist separator on the outlet side as necessary. Connect a lubricator to the outlet side, because the accumulated oil in the booster regulator may result in a malfunction.. Exhaust air measures Provide a dedicated pipe to release the exhaust air from each booster regulator. If exhaust air is converged into a pipe, the back pressure that is created could cause improper operation. Depending on the necessity, install a silencer or an exhaust cleaner on the exhaust port of the booster regulator to reduce the exhaust noise. 3. Maintenance space Allow the sufficient space for maintenance and inspection.

If it is necessary, take appropriate safety measures to ensure that the maximum operating pressure is not exceeded. When the tank alone is used Use a pressure switch or a safety valve to ensure that the maximum operating pressure is not exceeded.. Connection Connect a filter or a mist separator to the side of the tank. Because the inner surface of the tank is untreated, there is a possibility of dust flowing out to the outlet side. A VBA booster regulator can be connected directly with the tank accessories as indicated combinations below. Air tank VBAT05A VBAT0A VBAT0A VBAT38A Caution Design VBAA Selection Booster regulator VBAA VBA4A Consider the operating conditions and operate this product within the specification range. When using the air tank with a booster regulator, refer to Sizing on page 5 or SMC Pneumatic System Energy Saving Program. Mounting Caution. Accessories Refer to the operation manual (VBAT-M, M, M3, M4) regarding combining booster regulators with older model air tanks. The accessories are secured by bands to the feet of the air tank. Once removed, make sure not to lose them.. Installation Install the tank away from people. It is dangerous if the accumulated air inside the tank were to seep out. Do not mount the air tank on a moving part or a place with vibration. When connecting a booster regulator with the tank, refer to the operation manual first, which is provided with the air tank before assembling. Refer to the operation manual regarding mounting methods when using long bolts. To mount the air tank on a floor surface, use the four holes to secure the tank with bolts or anchor bolts. Maintenance Warning. Inspection The use of pressure vessels could lead to an unexpected accident due to external damage or internal corrosion caused by drainage. Therefore, make sure to check periodically for external damage, or the extent of internal corrosion through the port hole. An ultrasonic thickness indicator may also be used to check for any reduction in material thickness.. Draining If this product is used with a large amount of drainage, the drainage could flow out, leading to equipment malfunction or corrosion inside the tank. Therefore, drain the system once a day.
