Finding a specific compressor
Finding a specific compressor
(OP)
For this particular project, we are looking to compress a certain gas from low pressure to at least 200-300PSI. I'm not sure if one even exists, but we are looking for a compressor/vacuum pump capable of doing this. Any ideas of where I can start looking?
Thanks
Thanks

Also, what kinds of volumes/rates are you looking at.
Given your handle does it need to be a 'clean' compressor as typically used for bio medical applications and the like we use some pumps from MEDO but I don't know what max PSI they hit.
Compressors exist that will take certain gases in certain situations well over the values you mention.

A quick google search turned up a bunch of air compressors that hit at least the 200 PSI level.

If this project is Oh So Confidential, then stop trying to get free Engineering and hire someone who can tell a compressor from a bicycle and have them sign an NDA.

Don't beat about the bush Dave - just say it like it is...

The gas in question is definitely inert, Helium 3.
In the initial stage, it is kept at a lower pressure: 70psi
I'm trying to transfer the gas from a storage cylinder to a glass cell capable of handling pressures well over 10 atm. Thus, it would be best if the flow rate for the compressor is as minimal as possible.
The problem I've run into is looking for the right compressor capable of handling this. As for keeping the Helium clean during compression, an oiless compressor would be preferred.
Again, sorry for the contents of my original post. I was not trying to cause any sort of controversy.
