Which Booster is best

TwoDogs · 2nd June 2008, 00:17

I was after some advise . I am Looking at purchasing a booster pump I like the look of the MPS C3 but not sure if it is capable of being driven by an ordenary back yard type compressor like the Mini Booster is. Does any one know the answer to this or any other pumps that can be driven by these types of compressors. I dont want one that needs very clean air as a drive gass.

Gulp.

You had a 100bar of source and pumped a 3L from 100 to 150 in 7 to 10 minutes?

I'd think I was being good and taking it easy if I throttled mine back to take two minutes rather than letting it hot fill and have a long cooling off period. (Yes I know oxygen is a bitch that why I go slowly.)

Is it perhaps the drive gas that's limiting you and that's why the two graphs are so similar? For the first part you'd think you were using the same numbers. My Haskel is a 75:1 which is grossly the wrong ratio for boosting but my air source is a lot bigger (about 14cuft/min) and everything stomps along.

hi
i have an mps c3..i couldn't believe how quick it emptied a 12 litre cylinder..
emptied in less than 7 mins..so its best to use it with a commercial compressor...i have an old ingersol rand producing over 18 cuft/min..it runs into a small storage vessel as a buffer ..it keeps up with booster no problem..
i can send a pic ....thanks martyn ,ps i do filter the air with silica cat litter..!
