valves, the pilot valves (1; 10), which are operated mechanically by the air piston
at its end positions. The pilot valves vent the operating area of the control slide
valve.
An equilibrium of forces on the drive and high pressure side is generated as soon
as the stall pressure is reached. The gas booster stops and no longer consumes
drive fluid. A pressure drop on the high pressure side or a pressure increase on
the drive side result in an automatic restart of the gas booster while the com-
pressed fluid is compressed until an equilibrium of forces is restored.
In most gas boosters with a gear ratio of > 5, the exhaust air is passed through
the cooling cylinder and thus used to cool the high pressure cylinder.
