Booster Pump
- A machine which will increase the pressure of a fluid.
- They may be used with liquids or gases, but the construction details will vary depending on the fluid.
- A gas booster is similar to a gas compressor, but generally a simpler mechanism which often has only a single stage of compression, and is used to increase pressure of a gas already above ambient pressure. Two-stage boosters are also made.
- Boosters may be used for increasing gas pressure, transferring high pressure gas, charging gas cylinders and scavenging.
