AO Gas Booster Package
The AO-booster is supplied as complete package with all the hoses and valves needed to
start using your booster straight from the box (no connectors and drive air regulator are
included). The booster is a compressed air driven booster designed specifically for Oxygen
service. It is well suited to both re-breather and open circuit divers. Its unique design
ensures that there will be no cross contamination between the drive air and the booster gas.
The booster can safely be run from a typical workshop pressure compressor, or directly
from a Scuba cylinder. The unique design of the booster unit means it is extremely
economical on use of drive air.
The booster will boost air, oxygen, helium and argon to a maximum pressure of 250 bar (300 bar as
option), it is safe and easy to use, and has a long service life. The manual supplied provides users
with all the information and guidance required for operation, care, servicing and repair; should a fault
occur. We offer the gas booster as a complete package, with all the hoses on inlet and outlet and a
stop/venting charging valve on the outlet.
The package is as standard supplied in a plastic Peli-case and a wide range of hose end adaptors are
available to suit all common connection.

Performance test:
Time taken to fill a 3 litre cylinder from 100 bar to 232 took 16
min (0.1 cubic ft from 1450 psi to 3,364 psi) with an inlet
pressure of 70 bar (1,015 psi). During the test 1350 Nl of air was
used to transfer 396 Nl of oxygen = 3,5 Nl air / Nl Oxygen. This
is a representative test of typical usage and typical conditions;
however, performance will vary depending on drive air, supply
gas and discharge gas pressures.
In- and outlet gauges 0-400 bar.
Charging valve with vent-function on outlet hose.
All components assembled on an aluminium plate with handles.
The package is supplied in a plastic, water proof Peli-case.
Twin booster configuration is also available providing increased flow and boost ratio options.
