Product catalog summary
Overview of Haskel Gas Boosters
Haskel gas boosters, driven pneumatically or hydraulically, offer a flexible and efficient solution for high-pressure gas delivery. They are particularly suitable for pure gases like oxygen due to their cleanliness and are certified per Mil Spec 1330 for oxygen applications.
Key Features
  • Multi-staging for higher flow rates and pressures.
  • High flow rates at high pressures for efficient gas storage and release.
  • Cost-effective by utilizing all gas from supply sources, eliminating the need for special high-pressure cylinders.
Pneumatic Driven Gas Booster Features
  • Reliable, easy to maintain, compact, and robust design.
  • No risk of heat, flame, or spark.
  • Infinitely variable cycling speed and output.
  • No electrical connection required.
  • Long working life seal systems and hydrocarbon-free operation.
  • Pressures up to 39,000 psi (2690 bar).
Theory of Operation
Haskel Gas Boosters use a large area reciprocating air drive piston connected to a small area gas piston, with dynamic seals to prevent contamination and cooling through exhausted drive air. Check valves allow pressure equalization before boosting.
Operating Temperatures
  • Air Drive Section: 25°F to 150°F (-4°C to 65°C).
  • Gas Barrel Section: Maximum temperature is 115°C (240°F).
Applications and Gas Compatibility
Suitable for boosting most industrial gases, provided they are dry. Special considerations are required for gases like pure oxygen or hydrogen. Compatible with gases such as nitrogen, helium, and breathing air.
Configurations and Models
  • Single acting, single stage boosters for pressures up to 39,000 psi.
  • Double acting, single stage for higher delivery.
  • Two-stage models for high gas compression ratios.
Selection Criteria
Consider parameters like maximum discharge pressure, flow rate, supply pressure, air drive pressure, and specific gas and application. Different models offer varying capabilities based on these factors.
Model Number Configuration
Model numbers indicate features such as nominal diameter of the air-driven piston, area ratio, and installed air controls.
Port Specifications
Interchangeable ports available in 3-3/8” SAE or 1/4”- H/P (BuTech) configurations. Various NPT port sizes including 3/8”, 1/2”, and 3/4” for both inlet and outlet.
Air Drive and Pressure Specifications
Air Drive Inlet Port sizes vary by model. Minimum air drive pressure is 20 psi, with a maximum of 150 psig for most models, except specific models like AG-233, AG-303, AGD-1.5 which have a maximum of 130 psig.
Gas Booster Specifications
Gas boosters for hydrogen applications require specific certification. Two-stage gas boosters have a maximum allowable inlet gas pressure to prevent interstage stall. Models have specific maximum rated gas supply and outlet pressures.
Model Performance and Parameters
Detailed performance metrics for various models, including maximum rated gas supply, minimum gas supply pressure, and static outlet stall pressure. Suggested cycling speeds for maximizing seal life are provided for different series.
System Components
Standard system components include boosters with external pilot modification, adjustable air pilot switches, pressure gauges, gas filters, roll bar frames, air filters, adjustable air regulators, manual on/off valves, relief valves, and adjustable remote-set pilot regulators.
Additional Notes
Refer to specific pages for dimensional drawings and detailed explanations of interstage stall conditions. Sample gas booster flow rate performance is provided for general reference.
Specifications
Details on filter elements with options for 5 microns and pressure ratings of 6000 psi and 30,000 psi. Connections available in 1/4’ NPT and 1/4” S.P. tube, with elements made of stainless steel or paper.
Stainless Steel Check Valves
Constructed from 316 series stainless steel, offering high corrosion resistance. Feature a PTFE semi-soft seat for higher contamination tolerance without leakage.
Directional Control and Release Valves
Designed for zero leakage at high pressures with low viscosity fluids. Available in seated poppet or ball designs.
Intensifiers
Come with integral checks for cycling and are made entirely of stainless steel in the high-pressure wetted section.
Gas Booster Models
Dimensional drawings and specifications for various gas booster models are provided.
Hydraulic Driven Gas Booster Models
Models include hydraulic connections with SAE female ports rated at 3500 psi max and gas connections with various pressure ratings.
General Information
Produced by Haskel, a brand of Accudyne Industries, providing precision-engineered flow control systems and industrial compressors globally.

Why Use a Haskel Gas Booster Haske pneumatic and hydraulic driven gas boosters offer a flexible and efficient source for delivering high pressure gases. Oxygen or High Purity Cleaning: Haskel boosters are noted for their cleanliness and can handle pure gases such as oxygen without risk of any contamination. (Special cleaning required – advise factory.) Haskel’s oxygen cleaned products are certified per Mil Spec 1330. Refer to the Knowledge Library Link on the Haskel website, www.haskel.com, for the Oxygen Usage - Best Practice Guide. Multi-Staging Capability: For higher flow rates and pressures,...

Introduction to Pneumatic Driven Gas Boosters Theory of Operation Haskel Gas Boosters consist of a large area reciprocating air drive piston directly coupled by a connecting rod to a small area gas piston. The gas piston operates in a high pressure gas barrel section. Each gas barrel end cap contains high pressure inlet and outlet check valves. Varying applications require many different booster and horse power (HP) combinations. Haskel can assist with HP and Cooling requirements and provide circuitry assistance on the following issues: PID Control review and advisement, electrical control, and...

Selecting a Pneumatic Driven Gas Booster means of boosting pressure for testing or small components and similar applications where volume is small and efficiency is not important. Control of maximum outlet pressure is accomplished with the use of an air drive pressure regulator. Maximum outlet pressure is drive area ratio multiplied by air pressure. Air driven gas boosters have seven significant operating parameters that determine their selection for any application. These are as follows: 1. Maximum discharge pressure? 2. Flowrate a. Is it constant? i. What is flowrate required? b. Is it filling...
