Air driven boosters

Air driven boosters from Haskel are characterized by simple and reliable design that has been around for more than 40 years. Pneumatic drive boosters consist of single acting - single stage, double acting - single stage, and two-stage models for high gas compression ratios.

The greater the ratio between incoming and outlet pressure the more stages are required. A single stage booster can handle a ratio of 1:20 and a two stager can handle a ratio of 1:50.

Isolation of the gas compression chambers from the air drive section is provided by three sets of dynamic seals. The intervening two chambers are vented to atmosphere. This design prevents the air drive contaminating the gas stream.

Cooling is provided by routing the cold exhaust air through an individual jacket surrounding the gas barrel.

Most gases can be handled by the boosters. Certain security measures are to be used when using hydrogen and oxygen applications. All boosters can handle the same inlet pressure as their maximum outlet pressure.

We can deliver the boosters with different modifications, for example for operations with low operating pressure, external pilot, stroke counter, operations at low temperatures etc.

The model number is made up by an arrangement of letters followed by a number combination. The letters describe the type of pump and the numbers the area ratio.

At large differences between the intake and output pressures we recommend a two stage booster or even a combination of one stage and two stage boosters.

When handling large flows we recommend the double acting models. For larger boosters we recommend hydraulic driven.

Each pump has an induvial serial number indicating the month, year and order number.

In the table below you can see the available models and their maximum outlet pressure.
