Air operated gas boosters

Product catalog summary
Introduction
SC Hydraulic Engineering Corporation, established in 1953, specializes in hydraulic engineering with a focus on air-driven liquid pumps and gas boosters. Operating from a 65,000 square-foot facility in Brea, California, the company offers a variety of products including air and gas boosters, power units, and high-pressure valves.
Product Overview
The company's air-driven gas boosters are self-contained units that utilize a cycling spool and pilot valve for automatic reciprocating action. These boosters are designed to elevate low-pressure gas/air to higher pressures, suitable for applications in industries such as welding, automotive, and utilities, with pressure capabilities ranging from 300 psi to 25,000 psi.
Gas Booster Models
The document includes a model selection chart detailing specifications like maximum rated gas supply and outlet pressures, inlet and outlet ports, static outlet stall pressure, and maximum compression ratios. Models such as GB-15, GB-30, GB-75, GBD-5, GBD-15, GBD-30, and GBD-75 are tailored for specific pressure and volume needs.
Applications and Custom Solutions
SC Hydraulic provides custom gas booster systems with features like filters, gauges, and panel controls, offering a free service to size units for optimal customer fit.
Technical Data and Assistance
Customers can obtain technical data sheets or assistance in selecting the right gas booster by contacting SC Hydraulic or completing a data worksheet available in their catalog.
Specifications
Detailed specifications for each model include maximum rated gas supply and outlet pressures, inlet and outlet port sizes, static outlet stall pressures, minimum inlet gas pressures, maximum outlet gas pressures, compression ratios, and displacement per stroke. For instance, the GBD-D15 model features a maximum rated gas supply and outlet pressure of 5,000 psig with a compression ratio of 20:1.
Performance Graphs
Graphs illustrate the relationship between gas flow and outlet gas pressure for different models under specified conditions, aiding in understanding each booster's performance characteristics.
Model Variants
The document describes various series and configurations, such as the GBT series, which achieves higher compression ratios through a two-stage process, and the GBT-D series, which uses a double head to achieve the same outlet pressure with half the input pressure.
Ordering Information
A section on ordering provides a table reference for selecting the appropriate gas booster model based on series, modifications, cylinder configurations, pressure ratios, and service options.
Warranty and Support
The document outlines warranty terms, stating that products are warranted against original defects in material and workmanship for one year, with conditions that void the warranty including unauthorized modifications or improper reassembly.
Contact Information
Contact details for SC Hydraulic Engineering are provided for customer support and inquiries, including phone numbers, fax, and email.

A “High Pressure” History… An innovator and pioneer in the field of hydraulic engineering, SC Hydraulic has been manufacturing air-driven liquid pumps for more than a half of a century. Founded in 1953 by Bob Vedder and Willie Mohler, the company started with only a few core products. Basically air-driven liquid pumps. Today, SC Hydraulics' product line has expanded to include an extensive collection of air and gas boosters, power units, systems and selected high-pressure valves. The product line remained stable through the 1980’s seeing successful operation in an ever-increasing number of installations...

Air operated gas boosters-3

AIR DRIVEN GAS BOOSTERS SC air driven gas boosters are self-contained units, using a cycling spool and pilot valve to provide automatic reciprocating action when air or gas is supplied to the air drive inlet. The drive consists of a large piston and valve assembly directly connected to a hydrocarbon-free pumping piston with self lubricating seals cycling in a stainless barrel that has an integral check valve. SC gas boosters are suitable for other applications such as bottle filling from nitrogen generators and dewars, hydrogas suspension systems, automotive air gas storage systems, aircraft...
