Gas Boosters – Maximator Air Driven Gas Pressure Booster Pumps

Gas pressure boosters are most commonly used for increasing gas pressures for the following:
  • High Pressure Gas Transfer From One Source To Another
  • Scavenging (to extract as much gas as possible from a cylinder)
  • Cylinder Charging
  • Gas Pressure Testing
  • Gas Blanketing
  • Gas Assist Injection Molding

Maximator gas boosters are most commonly used in high pressure applications utilizing industrial gases such as N2, argon, oxygen, CO2, helium, hydrogen, natural gas, and xenon. Most industrial gases can be compressed to pressures as high as 36,000 psi, however some gases become unstable at higher pressures such as oxygen which should not exceed a maximum pressure of 5,000 psi. Please notify HPT of the gases you will be compressing to ensure that the booster’s seal arrangement is compatible with the gas and to ensure that the gas can be boosted to the required pressure safely.

Please note that if you are powering the booster with either very dry air or nitrogen you are strongly advised to order your booster with a Dry Air Spool.

HPT offers a complete range of Pneumatically Powered Gas Pressure Intensifiers which are commonly refereed to as Gas Boosters. The boosters are sized by their pressure amplification ratios and are categorized as either a “single stage”, “double acting”, “double air head” or a “two-stage” gas booster. The higher the ratio the higher the output
pressure of the booster.

Single Acting boosters only have one gas cylinder. Double Acting boosters have two identical gas cylinders that are plumbed in parallel for a higher output flow. A Double Air Head is the same as a Double Acting except that it also provides double the pressure ratio. For higher compression ratios (e.g. need to boost a low pressure gas source to a output pressure that is much higher) two-stage booster are recommended. Two Stage boosters have two different gas cylinders that are plumbed in series, each with a different ratio. Gas boosters are suitable for transfer and pressurization of a wide range of gases, e.g. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Helium, CO2, Hydrogen, Argon and Breathing Air. Be sure to let HPT know the gas the booster is being used with to ensure that no modifications are needed, that the correct seal package is selected and also to check if any special cleaning service is required.

Air-Driven Gas Boosters are an excellent alternative to electrically driven systems as they can be used in explosion proof areas and with hazardous gases due to there being no heat, risk of sparks or flame. There are thousands of Gas Boosters being used around the world for a variety of applications.
