A gas booster is a specialized device designed to increase the pressure of a gas—such as nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, helium, or air—beyond its original supply pressure. These boosters are commonly used in industrial applications where high-pressure gas is required for testing, charging, or operation.
Cylinder filling: Boosters are used to transfer gas from one cylinder to another at higher pressure.
Leak testing: In aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries, gas boosters help ensure pressure integrity in sealed systems.
Hydraulic accumulator charging: Boosters deliver the required gas pressure to charge accumulators for energy storage systems.
High-pressure gas delivery: In laboratories or production lines where constant and stable gas pressure is essential.
Gas boosters operate through a reciprocating piston system. When driven by compressed air or other energy sources, the piston compresses the incoming gas and discharges it at a higher pressure. Depending on the design, some boosters are manual, air-driven, or electrically powered.
No heat generation during compression (unlike electric compressors)
Compact and portable for field use
Suitable for high-purity gases with minimal contamination risk
Cost-effective for intermittent high-pressure needs
If you're looking for a reliable way to safely boost gas pressure for your operations, a gas booster system is a smart, efficient solution.
