Haskel AG-62

MikeH

Is anybody familiar with the Haskel AG-62, and the suitability of the unit for boosting O2? Of course, I'm referring to AFTER it is O2 cleaned....but I can't find any info on the unit anywhere.

Can anybody fill me in on the specs of the AG-62? Thanks!

Yea, that's definitely Swedish.....I recognize that much, but can't decipher it. I got the same rough info you did just by interpreting what I could.....but can anybody else give me a full interpretation, or at least pertinent information, regarding the AG-62? Thanks!

The AG 62 is a single acting, single stage double airhead booster.

The AG62 has a minimum inlet pres. of 200#, a max inlet pres of 9000#

The boost ratio is 25:1

The displacement per stroke is 3.1 cubic inches

Maximum outlet pres. is 9000#

You could in theory, get 4500# out with a 200# supply, but efficiency would be deplorable and you'd suck up drive gas like no tomorrow.

The static outlet stall pres is 60 times the drive pressure. ie: you need over 100# drive to get 3000# out.

AG's don't scavenge supply tanks very well.

With a min supply pres closer to 800 to 1000#, it'll be much better.

It's listed weight is 15Kg and has 3/8" SAE fittings.

With proper O2 servicing, it's fine for O2 ... max of 5000# (same limit for all haskels)

For getting the most from supply tanks, and boosting to high levels, the AGT series is the prefered booster.

These suckers take a *LOT* of drive air.


Hope that helps,

This is an AGT 15/30 setup

WOW !
An answer like that could land you on the Swedish Bikini Team.

Wow, that's a great help! Thanks! I wasn't able to come up with anywhere near that amount of info....I didn't even get a reply from Haskel when I emailed them a few days ago.

I'd love to have one of those....but for the price, I don't think I can pass up the AG-62.

Looks like quite a loud setup to have inside your house with that huge I-R compressor.

This is an AG-75 which is much the same.

The notable difference is that the AG62 has a double air drive (2 of them end to end, essentially) so it cam manage a high compression ratio at pretty good speed. (cu in/minute)

By comparison, the AG 75 is only 1.2 cubic inches per stroke, but has a slightly higher minimum supply pres and 2500# higher max output pres.

It's also a 25:1 compression ratio and a 75 times drive air stall factor.
