Found An Old Unit? Call Us BEFORE Use!
Did you pickup an Intensifier at an auction, or were you given one from another company? DO NOT put the Intensifier into service until you have the Unit Refurbished! Specific Models are designed for use with certain gaseous media. Cross contamination of gaseous media is dangerous. The unit must be thoroughly cleaned and inspected before using.
Breath Easy while Boosting your Systems
ABL Aero Repairs, LLC and its Principles have been providing Repair/Refurbishment Services of old and new Futurecraft Pneumatic Pressure Intensifier Models for over 35 years. We are the experts when it comes to diagnosing and refurbishing your "Boost Pump".
Automatic Pressure Intensifier
The Automatic Pressure Intensifier is a complete "boost pump" subsystem that attaches to a standard "K bottle" pressure cylinder and thru the use of a proper adapter, connects to the pressure bottle's shut-off valve. Its function is to boost a clean, dry, gaseous media at a 10 to 1 outlet-to-inlet ratio, to a maximum, preset intensified pressure.
Description
The Automatic Pressure Intensifier is made up of three service proven subassemblies; a Boost Pump, a hand loading Pressure Regulator, and a manifold system.
The Boost Pump consists of a differential area piston, floating free within a housing which comprises the high and low pressure cylinder bores, and encircled by a spool valve which is positioned by, and according to, piston position within the bore. The spool valve controls the boost and vent cycling of the piston. On the vent cycle, gas used first for power is used for cooling by being discharged to atmosphere thru a cooling jacket, which encloses the finned portion of the high pressure cylinder.
The manifold system is comprised of two manifold blocks.
The inlet components, consisting of an inlet pressure supply gauge and a check valve mount on one block and the outlet components, which include a pressure gauge for registering boosted pressure, a check valve, and a pressure relief valve, are included on the other manifold block.
The hand-loader type Pressure Regulator is used to control pressure to the power piston. The Outlet Pressure Gauge monitors the amount of regulator load in terms of intensified outlet pressure.
All materials, seals and lubricants contained in this assembly are fully compatible with general service media such as GN2, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Helium, etc., to provide safe, uncontaminated media at high working pressures.

OPERATION
With the intensifier connected into the system or reservoir to be charged, supply pressure is introduced and allowed to stabilize. Both the inlet and outlet pressure gauges will now indicate the same reading.
The manually-loaded regulator is then adjusted until the desired outlet pressure is indicated on the outlet pressure gauge. The intensifier will begin to cycle automatically until adjusted pressure setting is reached. Thereafter, the intensifier will operate only to make up loss of pressure thru demand or temperature stabilization.
Refurbishment/Maintenance Schedule
All Pressure Intensifier Models should be sent in for Refurbishment every 6-12 months, based on use. ABL will completely clean, replace all soft goods, repair/replace worn components, perform a functional test and provide you with a C of C, thus keeping your Intensifier at peak performance.
