What are the benefits of using a helium compressor?

helium compressors offer many advantages for a variety of applications. These are the main benefits of choosing a helium compressor:

1. Safety: Gas Containment and Interaction

helium compressors have a gas leak control method. In safe compression, it is important to consider the mixture as a whole, in addition to the individual gases. Certain gas mixtures can cause potentially dangerous interactions that make them more toxic, corrosive or flammable.

2. Flexibility: Materials and Conditions

We customize engineered solutions according to each client's individual needs. Detailing your specific needs, our experts will design a custom helium compressor with the appropriate materials and compatibility to meet your application. Our high-quality materials can meet the appropriate requirements for most industrial gases.

3. Reliability: continuous and oil-free

helium compressors run slower and provide continuous, reliable operation. This design enables them to run 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours a day and 365 days a year without compromising quality or efficiency. Therefore, our compressors eliminate the risk of unplanned downtime.

What is the scope of use of the helium compressors?

In addition to general industrial applications, these operations and industries rely on helium compressors:

particle accelerator

aerospace

nuclear medicine

Research institute

Helium mining

army

Heliostat application

commercial gas station

What are the precautions for the use of helium compressors?

Compressing helium is a complex operation that requires deep expertise. Some of the challenges of helium compression include:

1. Helium heats up during compression

Due to its low molecular weight, helium heats up rapidly when compressed. In order to solve this problem, specially designed helium compressors have appeared, which have the characteristics of reducing the interstage compression ratio. This prevents overheating as the gas cools at reduced pressure intervals.

2. Helium leaks frequently

Due to its small molecular size, helium leaks more easily than other gases, especially during compression. The helium compressor has an inlet gas flow to recover any helium leaking outside the gas packing and piston rings. In addition, the vertical design of the compressor, spacers and wipers keep lubricating oil in the crankcase, ensuring that the helium remains pure.

3. Helium requires high pressure for efficient storage

helium compressors are available in a variety of compressor models that can withstand pressures up to 3000 psig (207 barg). This amount of pressure maximizes storage space and ensures there is enough pressure to support any helium scrubbing process.
