Gas Booster Selection

The answers to the following questions will provide the parameters for the selection of any gas booster or ProPak booster system.

1. What is the maximum pressure to be attained?

You need to know the pressure that the system will have to reach, either now or sometime in the future. This does not need to be the usual working pressure, but the maximum pressure ever needed.

2. What is the required flow rate?

You need to know the required flow rate at the required discharge pressure. This is not the flow rate at the maximum pressure, but the flow rate at the working pressure. Remember that every booster has a maximum pressure where it will stall and produce no flow, but at any pressure less than that it will produce flow. This flow reduces in quantity as the output pressure approaches the stall pressure.

3. Is the flow rate constant?

Do you have a process application where you need a constant flow at a constant pressure? If so, then this is expressed as 'x' SCFM (NM3) @ 'y' PSIG (Barg).

4. Is the flow rate decreasing?

Do you have an application where you are filling cylinders or some other vessel from a lower supply pressure to a higher storage pressure. To select the proper booster or booster system, you need to know the size of the vessel to be filled. This can be supplied in any form that can be converted to ACF.

5. What is the required fill time for the vessel?

It is very common to have an initial fill times that is unrealistic. Many people who are not
familiar with gases ask for fill times that will require uneconomic systems. Therefore it is important to think about the longest possible fill time the application can stand.

6. What is the gas supply pressure?

The performance of any gas booster is a function of the incoming gas pressure. Simply stated: 'any gas booster will only discharge the amount of gas it takes in'. The higher the inlet gas pressure, the more SCF of gas are squeezed into the gas section and
therefore the more gas discharged. Gas supply can have more than one source. Therefore it can have many combinations of flow, pressure and temperature.

7. What is the drive pressure?

This is not the initial pressure in the system first thing in the morning before all of the uses of air are operational, but rather should be the minimum that the plant experiences throughout the day. The booster may have to provide maximum performance when the drive conditions are at their worst.

8. What is the gas?

Some gases cannot be pumped with standard boosters. They may require special seals, materials of construction, venting and other considerations. This is also important when higher pressures are required in filling applications to determine the compressibility of the gas. Applications involving gas boosters will always fall into one of four categories. It is very important to clearly determine into which category a particular application fits.

a) The supply pressure is at a constant pressure (Ps) and the discharge gas is at a constant flow (Q) and pressure (Po).

b) The supply gas is from a decreasing pressure and the discharge gas is at a constant flow and pressure. It is safe to assume that the supply flow rate will decrease as the supply pressure decreases. To maintain the constant outlet flow the booster will have to increase its cycle rate.

c) The supply gas is at a constant flow and pressure and the discharge gas it at an increasing 8 pressure.. It is safe to assume that the discharge flow rate will decrease as the discharge
pressure Increases.

d) The supply gas is at a decreasing pressure and the discharge gas is at an increasing pressure. It is safe to assume that the flow rate will decrease significantly as the pressures get further apart.

Basic Statement of Gas Booster - Working Principle and ...

As time goes on, the gas booster is used more and more popular. What do you need to know about the gas booster if you want to get gas booster? Today, this article will introduce you to the working principle and applications of gas boosters.

Overview of the Gas Booster

The gas booster is suitable for the compression of gas, air, and industrial gases, such as nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, radon, and sorbet. Some gas boosters can drive the range of air pressure 0-10BAR. The maximum export pressure of the gas booster is BAR, and the gas booster of oxygen can reach 350BAR.

To avoid pollution caused by compressed gas,  some gas boosters use dry operation. Moreover, the structure principle of the gas booster guarantees that the driving medium is not mixed with the gas. The air-driven booster is an efficient product for alternative electric products and can be used for workplaces that need to be explosion-proof.

Because some gas boosters have a tight design structure and light quality, they can also be used in some mobile devices.

Gas Booster Working Principle

The working principle of the gas booster is similar to the pressure booster. When the low pressure is on a large area of the piston (gas piston (3)), a small area piston will produce high pressure (high-pressure piston (2)). It can achieve continuous operation through a two-level four-pass gas control valve (skate valve (4)). The slide valve enables the driving air alternately to the bottom and the top surface of the gas piston.

The skate valve of some gas boosters is controlled by two binary two-way valves (pilot valve (7)). The pilot valve controls its mechanical movement by the gas piston. The pilot valve is constantly filled or emptied in the slide valve room. Provide traffic from the unidirectional valve (the entrance unidirectional valve and the exporter (1)) to control the high-pressure piston.

You can set the size of the driving air pressure directly determines the size of the export pressure. The final output pressure can be calculated based on the formula in the technical characteristics of the gas booster. When the driver and the high-pressure part reach a balance, that is, the final pressure is reached, and the gas booster will stop running without the consumption of air.

When the pressure part of the high pressure decreases or the driving pressure increases, the gas booster is automatically running, until the pressure balance is reached again. In addition, some gas boosters can realize the automatic switch through a gas control switch, contact type pressure meter, or external control device.

The Main Application of the Gas Booster

Wingoil has a complete model of gas boosters and can meet the needs of various application areas. There are only single-stage, dual effects, and dual-level superchargers, or combined boosters, which can achieve different work pressure and traffic. Gas boosters can be used in various fields, such as:
