Argon boosting Ar

Air driven gas boosters HII - ideal solution for high and ultra-high pressure gas supply at relatively low flow rates.

The basic line of gas boosters HII is represented by 42 basic types with variety of modifications.

The product line covers a wide range of operating pressures and allows you to solve multitude engineering tasks.

Many years' experience and production facilities allow Hydraulics International Inc. to offer high-tech solutions for boosting of hazardous gases, ultrapure gases to the maximum permissible pressures applied in engineering practice.

Non-lubricated piston design together with pneumatic drive do not have competitive alternatives when solving some engineering tasks of boosting gases to high and ultra-high pressures with relatively low to zero flows.

• Pressures up to 30,000 PSI for most gases and 5,000 PSI for Oxygen;
• Various models available for vacuum application;
• Easy to install and operate;
• Compact, lightweight design;
• Single or double acting and 2-stage models;
• Double air drives available in single and 2-stage boosters;
• No electrical power required;
• Requires no high pressure seal lubrication;
• Boosters are contaminant FREE;
• Units can be operated in series or parallel;
• Boosters may be mounted in any orientation;

HII Gas Boosters selection chart

HII gas booster packages with pneumatic and electric drive allow to boost industrial and pure gases to high and ultra high pressures.

Pneumatically driven models are ideal for boosting flammable and explosive gases except acetylene.

Standard packages line consisting of 7 basic models is ideal to solve relatively simple tasks within a limited budget.

Customized HII solutions designed to customer's specifications, including multi-booster packages, significantly widen a range of tasks related to boosting gases at high pressures.

• Drive type:pneumatic / electric (with built-in air compressor) / hand operated (based boosters 3G series);
• Outlet pressure ranges from 10 to 2000 bar (150 - 30,000 PSI);
• Gas booster`s gas section type: oil-free - does not contaminate supplied gas;
• Minimum inlet pressure is determined by gas booster model(s), but not less than 3 bar (40 PSI);
• Maximum inlet pressure is determined by gas booster model(s), normally equal to the maximum outlet pressure;
• Maximum gas flow depends on the number and types of gas boosters, as well as the operating mode;
• Pneumatic drive requirements: industrial oil-free air, nitrogen 5-10 bar (70-150 PSI);
• Special versions of pneumatic drives: associated petroleum gas driven, natural gas driven;
• Outlet pressure adjustment: smooth, continious, average to high accuracy, over a wide range of operating pressures;
• Gas flow rate adjustment: smooth, continuous, over a wide range of flows, low/medium accuracy.

• Clean design of the gas booster`s gas section(s) as well as valves and fittings - no grease, no oil, no contamination;
