High pressure compressor
There are two models of high pressure compressor:
• High pressure
• Booster
High pressure itself is divided into two models:
• 40 Bar
• 150-350 Bar
40 Bar is mostly used for bottling purposes (PET) and 150-350 Bar is used for diving purposes that require more pressure to form the oxygen capsule.
The high pressure compressor brings the ambient air to 40 Bar in 2 or 3 stages. In the first stage, it reaches 13 Bar and cools down again; In the second stage, it reaches Bar 25 bar and cools again, and in the last stage it reaches 40 Bar.
A sudden increase in pressure and, as a result, an increase in temperature causes the device to wear out over time.
Booster compressor technology has solved this problem.
In many compressed air industries, high pressure is required, and a device called a booster compressor is used to provide it. The booster compressor re-compresses the air from 10 bar to 40 bar.
The Flex PET system is used to produce PET bottles and similar products that require a working pressure of up to 40 bar. With the help of this system, costs are saved and the cost of high pressure compressed air is reduced.
In the Flex PET system, industrial compressors produce a pressure equal to 10 bar and after the steps of filtration and storage of the produced air, they enter the compressor booster system.
The 40 bar air produced with a high volume is directed to the high pressure storage tank and after filtration, it is ready to be used for PET devices or other 40 bar users.
Advantages of the booster system
The advantages of the booster compressor are a combination of the advantages of screw and piston.
The maintenance cost of high pressure compressors is relatively high due to the reliability factor and the use of special technology in them, which is much lower in the booster.
In this system, you will have normal pressure (10 bar) and high pressure (40 bar).
The booster system occupies a smaller volume.
The booster system can produce high volumes with high pressure, which is not possible with high pressure compressors alone.
The booster system consumes less energy and has higher efficiency.
