Solid lines indicate approximate flows at various driving air pressure. Dotted lines indicate air consumption in scfm.
All air driven air amplifiers will operate on low air volumes as long as the supply is sufficient to overcome minor internal leakage and operate the air selector valve in the air motor section.
Note: Most air compressors produce 4-5 scfm of compressed air per horsepower at 100 psi. As an example, with 100 psi (6.8 bar) driving air, the air amplifier consumes 30 scfm at an operating pressure of 200 psi (14 bar) and produces an outputflow of 3.5 scfm. *Note: for applications above 450 psi (31.5 bar), consult factory.
Note: stall conditions on double ended units are best achieved by regulating air motor pressure 10% lower than precharge.

The PowerStar™ 4 air amplifier develops high output pressures by applying the principle of differential areas. It features a large area air motor piston (air driven at low 10-125 psi pressures) that drives a small area air piston that amplifies the incoming air pressure.
