Flow Charger Module Description
The Flow Charger is a compact, high efficiency microprocessor based voltage boosting unit. It is capable of taking input voltages as low as 10.5 volts and boost the output voltage to 20 volts (on Adjustable Output Voltage Models). This is particularly useful for increasing the output capacity of the vehicle's fuel pump by 20%, as shipped. This increase is equally applied to both stock fuel pumps or aftermarket fuel pumps. Voltage can be adjusted higher for larger gains, when using an optional voltage selector unit. The Flow Charger is designed to be installed with a boost pressure switch to trigger the voltage boost mode. The Flow Charger incorporates an internal high amperage relay to permit system voltage bypass when in normal, non-boost mode operation. When the pressure switch closes under higher manifold pressures (i.e. when the engine's fueling demand is high), then the Flow Charger is triggered to deliver the fuel pump the extra voltage needed to deliver the added fuel supply. When the engine's manifold pressure drops and fueling demand falls off, the Flow Charger returns fuel pump voltage back to standard system voltage. By using this 'voltage boost only under demand' approach, the Flow Charger does not stress the fuel pump when the vehicle is driven under normal, light power loads.

Flow Charger Module Features
When used with powering automotive fuel pumps, the Flow Charger provides increased voltage to fuel pump from 15.5 - 20 Volts. This will provide up to an extra 60% fuel capacity to the existing pump.
Ultra high power conversion efficiency (~96%) ensures minimum power draw on the vehicle's electrical system while producing the lease amount of heat.
Maintains a constant fuel pump voltage regardless of system voltage.
NVH - High frequency Switch mode control (>100Khz) provides silent operation.
Does not affect pump longevity. The Flow Charger can be set up to only boost voltage under demand.
Circuit board is hermetically sealed and fully enclosed.
Uses standard power terminals to allow as large as 8 AWG wire.
Built in power fuse simplifies installation and eliminates wiring confusion.
Internal output relay eliminates need for external relay or running high current through smaller stock relays and wires.
Contact closure (via separate pressure switch) triggers voltage boost.
Unique pass through voltage circuitry allows normal system voltage output when unit is not triggered to boost voltage.
TPS Voltage, MAP Voltage and MAF Hz external triggers also available to trigger voltage boosting.
