Gas Booster - PG03 "Ready to Use"
Use of the Booster Pump
This device is designed to extract gases such as air, oxygen, helium, and argon from the supply cylinder (the main cylinder) and charge it to the destination cylinder. It is used in gas filling systems, primarily for technical diving, and also for filling oxygen cylinders for ambulances, clinics, and industrial applications. Its use minimizes gas loss and provides complete safety in gas management, especially with oxygen, thanks to the full compatibility of the PG-03 and PG-03 Plus devices.
This version is delivered ready to use, with all necessary components included for connecting to the origin gas tank, destination tank, and power supply.
Additional components included:
Pressure regulator
- 2m transfer hose with analog pressure gauge for the surge tank, complete with drain valve and flow meter, DIN-DIN connection
- 2m transfer hose with digital pressure gauge for the destination tank, complete with drain valve and flow meter, DIN-DIN connection
- Adapters for the surge and destination tanks are NOT included, even if required.
CONSTRUCTION
- The device consists of two main assemblies: a drive unit and a plunger pump, combined into a single compact structure by four screws and a connecting sleeve.
- The drive unit is powered by compressed air at a pressure of 10 bar. As the booster does not require lubrication, the supply air must meet the cleanliness requirements specified by pneumatic equipment manufacturers, with a maximum solid particle size of 10 μm.
- The pumping section of the device is powered by the gas being transferred. The pressure of the source gas must be at least 10 bar, which is necessary to ensure correct plunger movement during the gas intake phase.
- The booster head is equipped with two check valves with 5/8″ UNF threads, allowing connection of high-pressure hoses to the source and receiving cylinders.
- The booster cylinder is cooled by the same air used to drive the plunger. For this purpose, a specially designed cylinder cooling system has been implemented, ensuring effective heat dissipation.
- Thanks to this solution, the booster is capable of continuous operation without the risk of cylinder overheating.
ADDITIONAL EQUIMPMENT
- For proper operation of the system, an air pressure regulator with a hose is required, allowing the unit to be supplied from compressed air sources up to 200 bar inlet pressure.
- The pressure regulator, hose and hose clamps are not included in the standard set and are available as optional equipment.
Booster Pump Power Supply.
- To power and operate the Booster Pump, a pressure of 10 bar is required. Ideally, this pressure should be stable. While it could be powered directly with a small 100 l/min compressor, it is recommended to use a filled cylinder and supply the pump by adjusting the outlet pressure to 10 bar with the pressure regulator. Given the pump's power consumption, we recommend using a cylinder with two outlets. Connect the pressure regulator to one outlet and the compressor to the other, either charging or maintaining the cylinder's pressure.
TECHNICAL DATA
- Overall dimensions:
- Length 660 mm, width 160 mm, height 160 mm
- Plunger diameter 20 mm, plunger stroke 100 mm Compression ratio 1 : 10
- Pumped volume per 1 stroke 31.4 cm3 – 0.0314 ln
- Weight 14.00 kg
- Air consumption per 1 stroke 7.8 ln (about 250ln/min) Average number of strokes per 1 minute – 30
- Pumping rate is dependent on the type of gas, the pressure difference between the one in source and inflated cylinder and actual number of strokes per minute. This amount is variable and depends on the pressure in the cylinders.
MAINTENANCE
- This booster does not need lubrication. After one year of use the device should be returned to the service for cleaning.
