Suggested 02 Bank Storage Bottle?

[rjack321]

What about a commercial tank as supplied by your local gas supplier? You can rent or buy the cylinder, use a welding type medical regulator, and get bottles from 40-200+. When you need more you just swap bottles.

They are only filled to 2200. The 80 is a much better transfill source.

@rjack321 I'm strictly an air diver at the moment, so such things as what you can put high levels of O2 in is outside my knowledge, I was just saying that'd be good from a pressure standpoint. Idk why nobody would fill those that high with O2, or for that matter why they wouldn't fill steels to that level, if you care to share.

Because 100% over 3000psi is considered to be increasingly risky.

If you are only an air diver how are you diving a CCR?

What does electricity have to do with anything? You might want to start with the Oxyhacker handbook before you go any further.

Thanks for the suggestions will check out that handbook.

People have brought up using a booster, that's what I was reffering too. Assume it's the same as if you were using a transfer pump to move fuel. I haven't looked into the details with booster pumps but thats something I need to better understand. I don't see costs on the haskel website but inquire could be a good option as long as they aren't too cost prohibitive. Overall I think I'd be happy the the simplist solution: 3 fills off an AL80 is probably fine, can pick up another AL80 down the line if I needed to. That's many many hours of diving.

@rjack321 Simple answer: I'm not. I'm interested in them, so I come on the forums to look around and ask questions, but I'm nowhere near certed for something like CCR's.

Good to know about the fill thing. I'd never heard of any limit on what pressure you could fill O2 to except the strength of the tank, but I guess that does explain why the bottles we use on ambulances only go to 2000 psi. I always figured it was cause it was cheaper.

I sell small electric oxygen boosters. They scavenge down to 15psi and fill to 3200psi. They are fully automatic. Hook your tanks up, push a button, and walk away. Cheaper than a small gas driven booster, you don't need an air compressor, they nearly empty the source tank, quiet, and run on 110v.
Just an option if you want your bottle full and use all of your AL80 bulk tank.

Be patient and get a reconditioned one: Used Haskel Boosters and Haskel Air Amplifiers

They're expensive enough without going for a new one.

I would love to hear details on this. Can you send more information?

They are slow, 100L per hour. But you can use them for anything. I use them mostly for scavenging trimix from tanks going to hydro. Back when I dove OC, I would use them to combine two partial sets of doubles so I had one full set.
I sell them for $750. Shipping is usually less than $50 in the CONUS.

Same. Do you have a link, manual, or other info?
