Re: Booster Info

I am running a Hydraulics International 5G-DS-30 and it it just superb.

Pumps about 6.1 cubic inches per stroke and a MAXIMUM of 1 stroke per second.

Maximum boost is approximatly 30 times the drive gas pressure plus 1 times the supply gas pressure.

I run it from a tiny shop compressor (cause I already had it) it works OK for filling breather tanks and bailout - if you were doing lots of big OC tanks I would get a bigger compressor with a decent resovior.

But as for the boster 200 bar o2 from a supply cylinder with 20 bar can be done OK.

max I have filled to is 300bar with air in a HP cylinder.

It may be a bit big for many but it should go on for years with the use I give it.

Regards,

Steve
