Haskel Gas boosters consist of a  large area reciprocating air drive piston directly coupled by a connecting rod to a small area gas piston. The gas piston operates in a high pressure  gas  barrel  section.  Each  gas  barrel end cap Contains high-pressure inlet and outlet check valves. The air drive section includes a cycling spool and pilot valves that provide continuous reciprocating action when air is supplied to the air drive inlet.   Need Spare Parts or Repairs?   Call (800) 576-6308

Basic Types of Gas Boosters

Air driven gas boosters have seven significant operating parameters that determine their selection for any application. These are as follows:

Maximum discharge pressure?   Flowrate  a.  Is it constant?  What is the Flow Rate Required? b.  Is it filling a vessel? What is vessel size (water volume)? What is fill time required? Supply a.  Is it at constant pressure?          b.  Is it decreasing? What is initial pressure? What is the minimum pressure? Air drive pressure available?     Air drive volume available? What is the gas? What is the application? The selection of the proper booster for any application starts with determining which hoosier "series" will provide the amount of flow required. This can be determined from the flow vs. pressure curves provided. The possible ratios for the application are determined by examination of the performance data for the boosters using the air pressure and air flow available. The ability of the booster to generate pressure is a function of the drive pressure, the nominal ratio, and the maximum compression ratio. The ability to generate flow is a function of the quantity of air available to drive it, the displacement per cycle of the pump, and the volumetric efficiency. Within each booster series, there are standard materials of construction available. For applications involving aggressive gases, some material substitutions may he possible. Single Acting Single Stage model 'AG" boosters provide economical means of boosting pressure for testing of small components and similar applications where volume is small and efficiency is not important. They also permit control of maximum pressure by means of an inexpensive air drive pressure regulator. Maximum outlet pressure is drive area ratio times air pressure.

Double Acting Single Stage model "AGD' boosters not only pump twice the volume of the above per cycle, hut also require less air drive since the inlet gas pressure itself provides a substantial portion of the required driving force. These models provide efficient means of boosting large volumes of gas at low to medium compression ratios*. Maximum outlet pressure is drive area ratio times air pressure PLUS supply pressure. Two-Stage model "ACT" boosters provide efficient means of boosting to a high compression ratio since the ratio per stage is low. Maximum outlet pressure with these models is drive area ratio times air pressure PLUS supply pressure times area ratio of the two gas pistons. Since these models have interconnected gas pistons, they multiply supply pressure during the 'interstage" stroke by the area ratio of the two gas pistons. If supply pressure is too high, the booster may have "interstage stall" at an outlet pressure substantially less than that obtainable on the "output" stroke. The selection that shows the maximum supply pressure as a factor times air drive pressure. This limitation does not apply if outlet pressure is less than the "maximum supply" times the area ratio of the two gas pistons. Call (800) 576 - 6308
