Compressed air booster pumps and gas booster pumps play a significant role in the daily production of factories. Some customers have raised the question of whether compressed air booster pumps and gas booster pumps can be used interchangeably? What are the precautions for them?

Compressed air booster pumps are generally used for local gas boosting, which can increase the air pressure of the working system by 2-4 times. Only the compressed air source of the working system needs to be used as the boosted medium. An important feature of this pump is that it is suitable for single gas source operation and is usually suitable for local pressurization scenarios, such as laser cutting machines, machine tool changing, hot runners, and the use of equipment with low pressure in a factory.

A gas booster pump uses a single gas controlled non-equilibrium gas distribution valve to test the reciprocating operation of the pump, usually with the booster chamber completely isolated from the drive chamber. The multiple ratio of booster pumps is 0.5:1 to 150:1. Media that can be pressurized include nitrogen, natural gas, oxygen, air, helium, hydrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and so on. The gas booster pump can maintain the purity of the pressurized medium without contamination during the pressurization process. The application range of gas booster pumps is very wide, such as providing power for high-pressure gas booster systems and equipment, fluid output, and boosting. Provide pressure support for gas seal testing of valves, shells, and pressure bearing components, as well as high-pressure physical and chemical experiments in universities and research institutes.

Gas booster pump can be used interchangeably with air booster pump, but with conditions, firstly, the air booster pump cannot boost the medium used for gas booster pump boosting. If the medium is boosted, the purity of the medium will be greatly reduced. Gas booster pump can boost the medium of compressed air booster pump, but gas booster pump has strict requirements for the inlet pressure of air (please refer to the parameters of pneumatic air booster pump and gas booster pump for details).

So when choosing these two booster pumps, it is necessary to determine the following parameters

What is the medium being pressurized and what is the initial pressure?

2. How much pressure should the current initial air pressure be increased to?

3. Is there a driving pressure (usually referring to the compressor) on site, and how much pressure can it be stabilized to?

What is the purpose of boosting pressure? What are the requirements for the output traffic? If you are unsure about the sales engineering of Feentor , you can calculate the data based on the working conditions on your site.
