Hydraulics International air driven
air pressure amplifiers operate using the
principle of differential areas. Like any air
tool,they operate from a single shop air
connection for most applications. The air used for
cycling exhausts through the muffler provided, or
may be piped out of the area. The rest of the
air is compressed to a higher pressure output.
When output demand stops, the unit will stall in a
force balanced condition consuming no power nor
generating any heat. When output demand resumes,
the unit automatically responds and cycles at the rate
needed to meet that demand, up to the units capacity.
Output Flow Reaches Maximum as the amplifier’s output
pressure approaches the plant air input pressure. Output
Flow Drops to Zero as the unit reaches theoretical stall.
This value is estimated by multiplying input pressure x the
last digit of the model number, e.g. model 5A-DS-5 with 100
PSI (6.9 BAR) plant air input will stall at approximately 500 PSI,
model 5A-DS-2 at approximately 200 PSI (13.8 BAR). In practice
however, controlling the maximum pressure desired is usually
done with an external control.
FEATURES • BENEFITS • APPLICATIONS
• Compact: installs off the floor, out of the way, in any position.
• 2 connections: plant air in, amplified air out. (Pilot air
connection is optional for start-stop control with a PCV valve
or solenoid valve and pressure switch.)
• Can replace a dedicated air compressor: 10 HP size in a
typical large plant spot requirement for 100 PSI when only
80 PSI is available. (Model 5A-DS-2)
• Replace bottled nitrogen: up to 700 PSI (48.3 BAR) for air
testing, lab or production. (Model 5A-DS-5 & 7A-DS-8)

INSTALLATION AND CONTROLS
Although there are a number of options for controlling
these units, a final recommendation will be based on how
the high pressure output air is to be used. Perhaps the most
common type of control is that similar to a conventional
air compressor:
1. Amplify the air into a receiver tank, ASME coded if
permanently mounted.
2. Provide a safety relief valve at maximum rated tank
pressure.
3. Provide a pressure switch* set to stop the air amplifier
unit at about 95% of safety relief valve setting.
4. Provide an air or gas regulator (reducing valve) on
the tank output set at the minimum usable amplified
air pressure for the application.
* The pressure switch need not be electrical. Instead,
the HII series of PCV valves performs this function in one
simple unit with no electrical input required.

(27.6 BAR) ASME code. Tank pressure is controlled
with a pilot cutoff valve (PVC), and is rated for a
maximum pressure of 390-PSI (26.9 BAR). This system
is assembled, completely tested for maximum flow
and pressure, and mounted on a rigid fork-lift-able
steel frame with control panel.
Primary Applications: Assist
smaller air powered tools and
machines with marginal
shop air pressure. Ideal for
light duty, miscellaneous
testing, and boosting into
tight spaces.
