Booster prices do NOT include international shipping, or shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, APO/FPO, or U.S. Territories.
The approximate size ratio of the { 4 in | 10.1 cm } air drive piston to the gas piston is 25:1. The oil-free MSB-9000 Mini Sport Booster is factory cleaned by Haskel for 100% Oxygen Service. As delivered, you can use it to boost pure oxygen, but it can also boost pure helium (plus other inert gases like argon & nitrogen), pure air, as well as nitrox and trimix mixtures of those gases. (Note that depending on the physical properties of the gas being boosted, efficiency and fill times can vary considerably from those of pure oxygen.) The boosters from Dive Gear Express are also factory fresh production, in-stock and immediately shipped directly to you from our warehouse.
The very small size { 14 in L x 6 in W x 6.5 in H | 35.6 cm W x 15.2 cm H x 16.5 cm D } and weight { 12 lb | 5.4 kg } allow it to be conveniently transported. The Mini Sport Booster can safely boost oxygen up to 3000 psi with supply pressures as low as 500 psi. Popular with technical and rebreather divers, the Mini Sport Booster allows deco & inflation bottles, oxygen and diluent rebreather cylinders to be filled when low pressure compressed air is the only source of power available. Operating with a drive air pressure of just 120 psi means it can be supplied by the LP port of a typical SCUBA first stage regulator and tank.
THE MINI SPORT BOOSTER IS FASTTake a look at the fill times in the table below. For example, starting with a supply pressure of just 1000 psi, to fill an AL-19 cylinder to 3000 psi takes just 3 minutes. The Haskel Mini Sport Booster is reliable too, with a one year factory warranty. The Haskel name in boosters has long been recognized for their quality.

For maximum flexibility, the Haskel Mini Sport Booster is offered in a "naked" configuration, less fittings and hose assemblies. For our model number MSB-9000, the inlet and outlet gas ports accept standard SAE/UNF 9/16"-18 fittings and the drive gas inlet accepts a standard NPT 1/2"-14 fitting. Dive Gear Express offers optional fitting and hose kits, with our DGX Gears Deluxe Fitting and Hose Kit being our most popular complete solution.
Your Haskel Mini Sport Booster also ships with a factory hardcopy documentation package: Operating and Maintenance Manual including illustrated parts breakdown, Oxygen Usage - Best Practice Guide, test procedures, and a Certificate of Cleaning for oxygen service.

Warning
Oxygen-related fires and explosions can result in serious injury or death. According to Haskel, this product is compatible with oxygen and factory cleaned for use with oxygen. Nonetheless, the 'clean state' of this equipment applies only prior to initial use. Thereafter, periodic inspection and cleaning are a necessity.
Best practice when boosting oxygen is to keep a low ratio between the source/target pressures and reduce the cycle speed as the ratio increases because rapid compression of oxygen also increases the risk of adiabatic combustion. Dive Gear Express recommends not exceeding a boost ratio of 5:1 and not exceeding 50 cycles per minute when boosting oxygen; lower and slower is better. It may be tempting to pull the maximum amount of gas out of the supply cylinder, but boosting low pressures can very quickly reach high boost ratios. For example, boosting from a {500 psi | 35 bar} source to a target of {2640 psi | 180 bar} is a relatively low boost ratio of about 5:1. However, a source of {300 psi | 20 bar} almost doubles the ratio to about 9:1 and an only slightly lower source of {150 psi | 10 Bar} doubles again to an 18:1 ratio.
You must meticulously follow the recommendations of the US Department of Transportation (DOT), Compressed Gas Association (CGA), and other federal/state/local agencies, plus your training agency for equipment maintenance, handling, storage, labeling, filling, transport and use of compressed gases. Ultimately, you must make the final decision to assume all risks associated with the use of any compressed gases.
