Electric gas boosters description
Depending on the selected size, the electric gas booster can generate up to 14.500 psi (1000 bar) and is compatible with almost all gases, including air, nitrogen, helium, argon, hydrogen, oxygen, natural gas.
Thanks to the equipped gear motor, it maintains a constant flow rate as the pressure increases. The booster is equipped with 2 adjustable micro switches to stop the engine when the desired pressure is reached, or in the event of a lack of gas to be compressed, the gas inlet filter, gas line isolation valve and exhaust valve
The electric gas booster series 2G is designed for filling or topping up high and low-pressure cylinders. Available in a two-stage or double-action version, it stands out for the absence of belts or pulleys, making it the quietest in its category with a noise level of only 63 dBA. An additional advantage is the forced air cooling system, which reduces compression heat and prolongs the life of the seals.
Its innovative design and advanced features make it a unique product in the market, ensuring efficiency, quiet operation and longevity.
Features
- Max working pressure: 14.500 psi (1000 bar)
- The pressurization chamber and non-return valves in contact with gas are in AISI316
- Complete with the separation between the gas and atmosphere section, with the possibility of channelling leaks.
- Operate with a 2 HP motor (single-phase or three-phase)
- High-pressure section with cooling
- Compact size and a weight of 65.9 kg
- Low noise level (63 dBA)
Advantages
- No need for pneumatic power supply
- Engine power contained to 2 HP
- Automatic start in the event of a leak downstream
- Compatibility with almost all types of gases
- Adjustable stall pressure
- A large assortment of special modifications are available

Electric or air driven gas booster?
Both technologies compress gas up to very high pressures, but they suit different plants. The electric gas booster is the right choice when compressed air is not available or is expensive, or when you need a constant flow as pressure rises.
| Electric gas booster | Air driven gas booster | |
|---|---|---|
| Power source | 2 HP electric motor, single or three phase | Compressed air (drive air) |
| Energy consumption | Lower | Higher, depends on the compressed air consumed |
| Flow as pressure rises | Constant, thanks to the gear motor | Decreases as the pressure ratio increases |
| Best for | Cylinder filling and topping up, test benches without a compressed air network, hydrogen with dedicated versions | Plants with an existing compressed air network, intrinsically safe installations |
Advantages of the HII electric gas booster
- No pneumatic power supply needed
- Motor power limited to 2 HP, single or three phase
- Automatic start in the event of a leak downstream
- Adjustable stall pressure and easy integration of automatic controls
- Wide range of special modifications available
