I need to make my gas blending more efficient. Currently I am PP blending nitrox & CF filling Trimix. I am not pleased with the CF method for various reasons.
A gas booster would solve some of the problems with the CF & PP blending. I know next to nothing about boosters other than the theory behind how they work.
There are practical questions I have regarding their use. One of the boosters I am looking at has a volume of 6.2 in3/cycle. Generally speaking what is the cycle rate of such a booster?? 1 cycle per second?? If it is 1 cycle/sec I come up with about 4.5 scfm for the booster, which is adequate for me, I think.
http://www.steammachines.com/ae2-Haskel.asp This one is $2500 new.
Does this booster seem adequate for filling say 3 or 4 sets of double 100 FT3 tanks a few days each month & maybe 15 80FT3 nitrox bottles per week?
Thanks in advance...
Does anyone have any better suggestion as to the type/model pump in this same price range? Any ideas where I can get one?
