» General information Gas booster installation Maximator gas boosters can always be operated in any position, although the horizontal position is most effective in preserving the seals. For fault free operation, the devices should be equipped with fittings and tubing which are suitable for the desired pressure range. The connection sizes should never be reduced. In order to ensure optimal durability for the seal and guide elements, the drive air should meet the specifications of quality grades from 3 to 4 (solids/ water / oil): The connections of Maximator gas booster are available as BSPP threads...

Gas Booster and Air Amplifier-8

» General information Maximator gas boosters use the expanded, cold exhaust air (which is typically less than +5 °C) from the compressed air drive and direct it around the high-pressure cylinder(s) of the gas booster. This effectively dissipates the compression heat from the device. In most applications, the integrated cooling is sufficient to protect the gas booster and the downstream processes. Process fluids For applications where high compression ratios are required and this results in an unacceptably high compression temperature, it is advisable to design the compression process in several...

» General information This means that even highly reactive gases can be compressed without risk. Further information on the recommended volume flow for purging the devices can be found in the installation and operating instructions. Stroke frequencies Compared with electric compressors, air driven gas boosters do not convert a rotational movement into a translational movement to drive the high-pressure piston. By alternately applying compressed air to each side of drive piston, Maximator gas boosters perform oscillating, translational movements - both in the air drive and high-pressure section....
