RIX Oxygen Compressors have
been developed specifically for the
exacting requirements of safe, reliable
oxygen compression service. The
4V4BG Series incorporates design
features developed over several
decades for a variety of industrial and
military oxygen compressor
applications. These compressors are
well suited for the compression of
oxygen to 3000 psig, and other clean,
dry gases to 5000 psig. The 4V4BG
high pressure oxygen compressor will
fill up to one hundred (100) 240 cu. ft.
2500 psi oxygen cylinders in a 24 hour
period.
4V4BG four-stage compressors
employ four oil-free singleacting cylinders
on a “V” type crosshead design
crankcase. Heat exchangers, crankcase
and compression cylinders are fresh
water cooled. The crankcase is
pressure/splash-lubricated with
oxygen compatible oil. The 3rd and
4th stage pistons are free-floating. This
allows piston and ring change-out
without cylinder or piston rod
removal. All heads are air cooled and
can be removed without disconnecting
the cooling water piping. Replacement
of a floating piston assembly typically
requires only about 30 minutes.
The proven ring life of the 4th stage,
compressing oxygen at 2500 psig, is
more than 3000 hours. Service life of
the other stages is considerably longer.
The RIX 4V4BG high pressure
oxygen compressor will fill up
to one hundred (100) 240 cu. ft.
2500 psi oxygen cylinders in a
24 hour period.
