Each Hycomp model has a nameplate attached to the 

crosshead guide cylinder, usually on the oil-pump end.  

The information on this nameplate must be available 

when ordering parts for the booster or requesting 

assistance with troubleshooting, maintenance, 

installation or operation.

Before contacting Hycomp, note who you purchased 

the booster from, who installed it, installation date, 

the purchase date, and model number.  This will help 

Hycomp identify your booster and any special parts 

and materials that may have been used.  Fill in the 

information from the new booster into the spaces 

provided in the sample nameplate below.

RECEIVERS

Reciprocating boosters create pressure pulsation 

of both the suction and discharge gas streams.  To 

minimize the effects of pulsation phenomena, Hycomp 

nitrogen boosters operate best with both an upstream 

pulsation tank (sometimes called a buffer or suction 

receiver tank) and a discharge receiver tank. 

Discharge receiver tanks must be separated from 

the booster with a check valve.

  

Receivers should be sized as follows:

MINIMUM Suction RECEIVER SIZE: 

Tank size (gal) = Booster SCFM 

MINIMUM DISCHARGE RECEIVER SIZE:

Tank size (gal) = 2 X Booster SCFM

For example, a 97 scfm booster would require a 

minimum 100 gallon suction receiver, and a minimum 

200 gallon discharge receiver.  Whether for suction or 

discharge, a larger receiver is always better

SAFETY

 

Any changes to the booster operating parameters 

should only be made with the approval of Hycomp.  

Contact the factory should a change be necessary.

ALL INDUSTRIAL GASES WILL PROVE FATAL TO 

PERSONNEL EXPOSED. Only air is capable of 

supporting life. Nitrogen may cause short or long term 

damage, or death, to personnel that are exposed. 

Because there is NO SAFE GAS OTHER THAN 

AIR, it is imperative that all exposure to nitrogen be 

closely monitored and regulated.  Federal mandate 

requires specific procedures must be established for 

any company that deals with industrial gases.  This 

includes, but may not be limited to, gas containment 

policy, protection required for personnel working 

with  the  gas,  availability  of  SDS’s,  specific  training, 

emergency spill and/or contact procedures, etc.  

Always check if there are EPA or OSHA standards 

that may apply.

Ensure all materials used in the booster and associated 

plumbing, including coolers, separators, filters, 

receivers, regulators, piping, etc. are compatible with 

nitrogen.  If unsure, contact the manufacturer of the 

equipment.
