    Have we created a pressure booster?

    The ~20 m pipe is located about 1 m above the 50 psi gauge. Could this really be the cause of the 30 psi pressure increase? I don't see how emptying the 2nd tank would change anything since there is a valve in front of it which is closed all the time except when the tank needs refill (which is...

    Have we created a pressure booster?

    Here is a better system diagram. We have two equal designed systems with electrolyte/nitrogen-tanks going into the L-port valve just before the 50 psi gauge. This is also why I cannot check the gauge when the tank is empty, because it switches over to the other tank. The motorized valve before...

    Have we created a pressure booster?

    Thank you for your answers. This is why I don't understand the system. I drew a quick sketch of how the tank containing the electrolyte and the nitrogen (gas) are connected. The outgoing electrolyte (50 psi) enters into a smaller tank of which the level is being regulated by demand. The height...

    Have we created a pressure booster?

    I came across a hydraulic system at work which I need to understand fully. We are pumping out electrolyte from a small tank (~20" diameter) with pressurized nitrogen at 20 psi. The electrolyte leaves the tank in a 1/2" pipe. The outgoing electrolyte shows a pressure of 50 psi. I think the...
