Series VBA Working Principle The IN air passes through the check valve to booster chambers A and B. Meanwhile, air is supplied to drive chamber B via the governor and the switching valve. Then, the air pressure from drive chamber B and booster chamber A are applied to the piston, boosting the air in booster chamber B. As the piston travels, the boosted air is pushed via the check valve to the OUT side.

Series VBA Design Mounting Caution Warning 1. Warning concerning abnormal outlet pressure • If there is a likelihood of causing an outlet pressure drop due to unforeseen circumstances such as equipment malfunction, thus leading to a major problem, take safety measures on the system side. • Because the outlet pressure could exceed its set range if there is a large fluctuation in the inlet pressure, leading to unexpected accidents, take safety measures against abnormal pressures.
Booster Regulator Series VBA Handling Caution 1. Setting the pressure on the handle-operated type • If air is supplied to the product in the shipped state, the air will be released. Set the pressure by quickly pulling up on the governor handle, releasing the lock, and rotating the handle in the direction of the arrow (+). • There is an upper and lower limit for the handle rotation. If over-rotating the handle even after reaching to the limit, the internal parts may be damaged.
