Type 72 - T72 Positive Bias Booster Relay
The Type 72 Relay features an adjustable bias
pressure which enables users to obtain an output
pressure which is the sum of a controlled input
signal pressure plus the bias. The relay offers
an exceptionally high flow capacity (up to 50
SCFM/1400 LPM) with minimal pressure droop.
Output pressure is accurately maintained under
varying flow conditions by means of an aspirator tube, which adjusts the air supply valve
opening in proportion to flow velocity. A balanced supply valve utilizing a rolling diaphragm
makes the relay virtually immune to changes
in supply pressure. Simple design makes maintenance easy, and the relay can be serviced
without removing it from the line. The standard
signal-to-output ratio is 1:1, but 1:2, 1:4 and
1:6 ratios are available on special request.
