High Pressure Gas Boosters
MAXPRO® Technologies was founded in 1995 as the exclusive North American distributor of Maximator® products. Maximator® is globally recognized as an industry leader in high pressure solutions. Our expert team of engineers and customer service representatives will help you choose an effective, reliable gas booster system to meet your unique requirements.
Gas Booster Skid and Major Component/Accessories
Please hover over the components/accessories below to learn more.
AIR PILOT SWITCH NORMALLY OPEN
The normally open air pilot switch is used for limiting the system inlet pressure. If the inlet pressure drops below the setpoint, the switch will actuate and close off the air to the air drive section. This causes the booster to stop actuating. The switch is adjustable by turning the adjusting hex gland. Turning the adjusting hex gland clockwise will increase the set pressure and counterclockwise will decrease the pressure setting. The switch will reset once the pressure increases 10% above the set pressure.
SYSTEM VENT VALVE
This is a manually controlled valve used to release pressure to reset the system or vent the gas. This valve can vary depending on the application and pressure rating.
AIR DRIVE SHUT-OFF VALVE
This valve is used to control the air going to the booster. When this valve is closed, it shuts off the air going to the air drive section of the booster. This stops the booster from functioning.
Air Drive Regulator
The air drive regulator is used to regulate the incoming air drive pressure. The regulator allows the systems to be more consistent by setting the pressure regulator to whatever pressure is needed for the application.
System Isolation valve
This valve isolates the system outlet and is useful when it is needed for testing or other applications.
Inlet Bulkheads
These are provided so the customer has an easy way to connect the gas supply and air supply. The size of the bulkheads varies depending on what connection the customer may need.
Outlet bulkheads
These are provided so the customer has an easy way to connect to the outlets of the system. The size of the bulkheads vary depending on what connection the customer may need.
Gas Inlet Pressure gauge
This gauge is used to monitor the supply gas coming into the system.
Air drive pressure gauge
The air drive pressure gauge is used to monitor the air drive pressure coming into the system.
Outlet Pressure gauge
The outlet pressure gauge is used to monitor the outlet pressure of the system.
Pressure Relief Valve
The pressure relief valve is used to limit the pressure of the system. This component is used as a safety feature. The pressure relief valve is normally set to limit the booster so the operator cannot over pressurize the system.
Casters
This can be added to the system to allow for the system to be moved easily.
AIR PILOT SWITCH NORMALLY CLOSED
The air pilot switch that is normally closed is used for limiting the outlet pressure of the system. This switch is set up so if the outlet pressure reaches the setpoint, the switch will actuate and open. This cuts off the air to the air drive section and the booster stops actuating. The switch is adjustable by turning the adjusting hex gland. Turning the adjusting hex gland clockwise will increase the set pressure and counterclockwise will decrease the pressure setting. The switch will reset once the pressure decreases 10% below the set pressure.
High Pressure Gas Boosters
Maximator® air driven reciprocating gas boosters are suitable for the oil-free compression of gases and air. They are also a simple, cost-effective means for gas pressure intensification, scavenging, or recirculation at a wide range of pressures.
These units require only a compressed air source to operate. Double-acting units utilize the inlet gas pressure to assist in compressing the gas. The exhausted drive air is used as an effective cooling media to lessen the heat from compression. Gas boosters are intrinsically safe because electrical power is not required.
There are a variety of materials, seal options, and features that enable our high pressure gas boosters to meet the needs of most compressed gases, including oxygen, helium, hydrogen, nitrogen, and argon. Depending on the application, one- and two-stage versions are available. Gas boosters can be paired up in series or parallel to further increase their pressure and volume capabilities.
