Control Air Type 6500/6600 Volume Booster
The Type 6500 aluminum and Type 6600 stainless steel volume boosters are 1:1 signal to output relays that are utilized in applications that require high flow capacity. Typically they are used to increase throttling speed of large volume valve actuators. They are 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.
