Air booster compressor, KOMPBERG® BKB
Booster compressor 22 KW (KOMPBERG® BKB)
The air booster compressor is intended for compressing air only. Its use to compress other gases requires prior agreement with machine manufacturer or vendor. Such agreement must be made in writing. The compressor may not be used for any purpose other than specified.
What are Air Booster compressors?
Air booster compressors are specialized machines designed to increase the pressure of pre-compressed air or gas to a higher level. These compressors are commonly used in applications where the initial pressure of the incoming air or gas is insufficient for the intended use, such as in high-pressure industrial processes, gas transmission pipelines, or natural gas compression. Air booster compressors work by taking the low-pressure air or gas and compressing it further to the desired higher pressure, typically using a reciprocating or rotary screw compressor mechanism. They are often integrated into existing compressed air systems to provide an additional boost in pressure without the need for a complete overhaul of the entire system.
Air booster compressors play a crucial role in various industries where high-pressure air or gas is required, offering a reliable and efficient solution for increasing pressure levels to meet specific operational needs.
How do Booster compressors work?
Booster compressors work by taking in low-pressure air or gas and compressing it to a higher pressure level. These specialized machines typically use a reciprocating or rotary screw compressor mechanism to achieve this compression. In a reciprocating booster compressor, a piston compresses the incoming air or gas, while in a rotary screw booster compressor, two interlocking helical rotors trap and compress the air or gas. As the air or gas passes through the compressor, its volume decreases, resulting in an increase in pressure. The compressed air or gas is then discharged at the higher pressure level, ready for use in various industrial applications.
Booster compressors are often integrated into existing compressed air systems to provide an additional boost in pressure, ensuring that the required high-pressure air or gas is available for specific operational needs.

Important Guidelines for Operating Your Compressor: Manual Instructions, Technical Checks, and Warranty Compliance
- Observe the instructions provided in the Manual and Warranty Book.
- Technical and operating checks should be performed by the manufacturer or authorised service, using the manufacturer’s parts and consumables.
- During the warranty period, use only manufacturer’s parts and consumables.
Basic requirements for safe transport and positioning of the boosters
In addition to the general H&S and Technical Supervision regulations, the following rules must be observed:
- Use only H&S compliant and approved by the Technical Supervision lifting equipment to lift the compressor. Fix in place all rotating or loose parts of the machine before lifting it. It is strictly forbidden to stand in the hazardous range of the lift operation. Machine movement can be accelerated or slowed down only within applicable limits.
- The compressor is transported on wooden pallets which should be secured against movement during transport. Fasten the compressor frame with cargo straps to appropriate holders on the vehicle platform to prevent it from sliding or overturning.
- All screw and pipe connections should be of appropriate size and designed for a given operating pressure.
- The compressor is not designed to operate outdoors.
- The compressor should be installed in a closed room, in cool and clean ambient air. Never block air flow to and from the room. Ensure sufficient flow of cooling air and extraction of heated air out of the room.
- The air sucked in should contain no vapours or flammable gases, e.g. paint thinners, that might cause internal fire.
- There can be no objects close to the air inlet that could be sucked in with a jet of air.
- The pressure conduit connecting the compressor with the compressed air line should allow free expansion due to generated heat. It may not touch hot objects or combustible materials.
