Hi there,
I have an idea but need some technical advice.
I one small haskell booster. The primary application is rebreather diving so the size is just enough. In some cases I also fill Al40's or even 80's with the booster as well. Ther reason why I do this is because the only supply of medical grade O2 is 1000km away and I have to manage the supply from the factory to my shop.
The booster often "stalls" at 500- 600 psi supply cylinder and 2300-2500 psi target cylinder. I know this is normal. 500 psi out of a 50L is cylinder is a considerable amount of gas. I do some continuous flow nitrox for storage with the remaining gas.
I'm getting another booster, again the small one. This are probably the only two "diving" gas boosters in the country and I rather have two small ones than one big one. A redundancy thing that goes with the $$ I have availabl for now.
As you know, a common way of filling target target cylinders and making the best our of pressure supplies is to cascade. As pressures equalize the gas supply from many cylinders is used in a more "efficient" way than if equalizing independently.
Now, here is my question:
If I connect the two boosters in line the cascade principle would be the same. Booster one will raise the supply pressure high enough for booster 2 to boost even if supply pressure is below the 500 psi. I know gas flow and volume could be an issue due to the 1:25 ratio.
Can you please advice?
Thanks,
