Volume booster

A volume booster is installed in a positioner output path to increase pneumatic flow capacity to an actuator during command changes; it does not convert the signal type. Booster response, bypass, and actuator volume must be coordinated to preserve loop stability. Pressure ratio, capacity, supply, and exhaust cannot be published from the generic name.

Application and duty

Faster actuator filling and exhausting alongside a positioner with suitable bypass adjustment
