Compressors

MAXIMATOR high-pressure compressors are suitable for oil-free compression of gases and production of compressed air. Gases that are normally available in the market, such as argon, helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen can be compressed up to 2,400 bar; oxygen up to 350 bar. Gas compressors powered by compressed air and designated for use in a potentially explosive environment, are an economical alternatives to electrical devices and must comply with the provisions of the Equipment and Protective Systems Directive (2014/34/Eu).

MAXIMATOR compressors function on the principle of a pressure multiplier. A large area is pressurized at a low pressure (pneumatic piston 3) and impacts on a small area at high pressure (high-pressure piston 2). Continuous flow is achieved using an internally controlled 4/2-way valve (control slide 4). The control slide supplies compressed air alternately to the upper and lower side of the pneumatic piston.

The control slide is regulated using two 2/2-way valves (pilot valves 7), which are mechanically controlled by a pneumatic piston in their end positions. The pilot valves supply or drain, respectively, compressed air to/from the area for controlling the regulation slide.

The high-pressure piston, together with the return valves (suction valve and pressure valve 1), control the volume flow. The outlet pressure results from the set inlet pressure. The static final pressure can be calculated using the formulas shown in the technical data of the compressors. Once the final pressure is reached, there is equilibrium between the inlet pressure side and the high-pressure side.

When the final pressure is reached, the compressor stops and does not consume air anymore. Pressure drop on the high-pressure side or pressure increase on the inlet supply side cause the compressor to automatically restart gas compression until equilibrium is reach.

Moreover, MAXIMATOR compressors can be switched on and off using MAXIMATOR pressure switches, contact manometers or external control units.

Thanks to the extraordinarily broad range of products, you can choose the optimal device for every individual application. For the various pressures and flow rates, there are different compressors or compressor combinations used: single-action, dual-action, and double-phase.
