Pulsation/Pulsation is decreased with a tank.
If the outlet capacity is undersized, pulsation may
occur.
Conditions:
Inlet pressure: 0.5 MPa
Outlet set pressure: 1 MPa
Flow rate: Between 0 and max. flow rate
•
Performance of air tank
• Alleviates the pulsation generated on the
outlet side.
• When air consumption exceeds air supply
during intermittent operation, required air
will be accumulated in the tank for use.
This does not apply for continuous
operation.

•
Use the VBA11A (pressure increase ratio 4) with pressure
increase ratio 2 to 4. Usage of pressure increase ratio below 2
is preferred for the VBA10A (pressure increase ratio 2).
A stable operation and increased life expectancy will result.
•
Inlet supply pressure volume is {approximately twice (pressure
increase ratio 2), approx. 4 times (pressure increase ratio 4)}
the volume of the outlet side. Booster regulator requires the
inlet side volume which is the sum of the flow volume running
into the outlet side and the volume exhausted from E port (for
driving), because air is the power source.
Sizing can be achieved with the SMC Pneumatic System Energy Saving Program Ver. 3.1
which can be downloaded from the SMC website: http://www.smcworld.com
