The Fisher VBL volume booster is used in conjunction with a positioner on a throttling control valve to increase stroking speed. The booster incorporates fixed deadband, soft seat construction, and an integral bypass restriction to eliminate positioner saturation problems that can occur with volume boosters that do not have these features. The volume booster delivers high-volume output for fast stroking when large, rapid input signal changes occur.
Features & Benefits
Fast Response—Booster delivers the volume needed for rapid actuator stroking when large input changes suddenly occur.
Adjustable Response—Integral bypass restriction tunes the booster response so that smooth actuator motion follows the slow signal changes.
Efficient Operation—Soft seats provide tight shutoff to reduce unnecessary air consumption and eliminate saturation of positioner relays.
Maintains Accuracy—Booster permits high actuator stroking speeds upon demand without degrading the positioner steady-state accuracy.
