About this file
This document appears to be a set of salient characteristics for a nitrogen booster that is part of a federal contract opportunity. The nitrogen booster is used to boost the nitrogen pressure for the Emergency Power Unit (EPU) when the nitrogen bottles fall below 2,900 PSI, as the lower pressure is insufficient to fully service the EPU.
The key details of the nitrogen booster include its dimensions (approximately 32 inches long, 14 inches wide, and 21 inches tall), input parameters (gas inlet connection size of 1/4" NPT, maximum pressure of 3,000 PSI; air drive inlet connection size of 1/4" NPT, maximum pressure of 125 PSI), and output parameters (gas outlet connection size of 1/4" NPT, maximum pressure of 4,500 PSI). The relief valve is adjustable from 100-1,900 PSI with a typical setting of 2,750 PSI, the inlet air pressure setting is adjustable from 150-750 PSI with a typical setting of 2,500 PSI, and the outlet air pressure setting is adjustable from 2,500-6,500 PSI with a typical setting of 2,500 PSI. The contract opportunity is for the 77th Fighter Generation Squadron at Shaw Air Force Base.

These specifications ensure that the nitrogen booster operates effectively within the defined parameters for various applications, including boosting nitrogen pressure for emergency power units and other systems requiring high-pressure nitrogen gas.
Specific Components (General Assumption Based on Industry Standards)
• Pressure Gauges: Typically stainless steel or brass.
• Relief Valve: Stainless steel body with elastomeric seals.
• Regulator: Stainless steel or brass with elastomeric seals.
• Filter (Air Drive): Housing could be stainless steel or aluminum, with filter elements possibly made from sintered bronze or stainless steel mesh.
• Tubing and Fittings: High-pressure stainless steel tubing and fittings to handle the maximum pressures specified.
Given the high-pressure applications, these materials ensure reliability, safety, and longevity of the nitrogen booster system. For precise material specifications, detailed component datasheets or manufacturer guidelines should be referred to.
Pressure Gauges
1. Inlet Pressure Gauge:
• Component ID: 15 (Item 2 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 57978
• Description: Pressure Gauge, 2-1/2" Dial, 0-6000 PSI
2. Outlet Pressure Gauge:
• Component ID: 16 (Item 3 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 57977
• Description: Pressure Gauge, 2-1/2" Dial, 0-160 PSI
3. Relief Valve Gauge:
• Component ID: 11 (Item 12 on the schematic)
• Part Number: 29354
• Description: Relief Valve, 100-1900 PSI
Additional Gauge Information
• Gauge Type: Bourdon tube pressure gauges (common for high-pressure applications)
• Dial Size: 2-1/2 inches in diameter, providing clear visibility for pressure readings
• Pressure Range:
• Inlet Gauge: 0-6000 PSI, suitable for monitoring high-pressure gas inlet
• Outlet Gauge: 0-160 PSI, suitable for monitoring regulated output pressure
• Relief Valve Gauge: Adjustable from 100 to 1900 PSI to ensure safe operation and prevent over-pressurization
These gauges are essential for monitoring the system's input and output pressures, ensuring that the nitrogen booster operates within the specified parameters. The relief valve gauge helps in setting and verifying the relief pressure to maintain system safety.
