BLACOH “How does the inlet stabilizer air control work?
10. BLACOH The Inlet Stabilizer air control consists of a compound pressure gauge, a pressure/vacuum tight ball valve and a venturi valve. When compressed air is passed through the venturi valve at high speed, a low pressure area is created which is used to evacuate the air from the stabilizer, creating a vacuum internally. Conversely, when the flow of air through the venturi valve is diverted into the stabilizer, a pressure charge is obtained. When pump inlet conditions are optimized, pump efficiency is maximized.
