The J.A. Becker & Söhne SV 500/40 He model is a single-stage, two-stage helium compressor specifically designed for high-performance and reliable gas compression tasks. This equipment is an ideal choice for industrial applications requiring precise pressure control and the supply of high-purity helium, up to an operating pressure of 40 bar.
The philosophy of Becker compressors is based on the principle of „NO 08/15 PRODUCTS” (No average product), which means that every single unit is manufactured according to the highest quality standards, tailored to individual requirements, ensuring a long service life and minimal maintenance needs.
The outstanding features of the SV 500/40 He compressor guarantee efficient and trouble-free operation:
Outstandingly Efficient Cooling: The advanced cooling system ensures the optimal operating temperature, which is critical during helium compression. This function increases the system's reliability and extends the lifespan of the components.
Fully Automatic Discharge: The built-in automatic purging function simplifies operation and minimizes the need for human intervention, ensuring continuous and safe operation.
Long Maintenance Intervals: As a result of the robust construction and high-quality components, maintenance cycles are significantly extended, thereby reducing downtime and operating costs.
Customized Solution: Becker does not offer „tear-off solutions”. Every compressor represents the highest engineering standard, guaranteeing performance and long-term reliability.
The specifications of the SV 500/40 He model meet the requirements for high-performance helium handling:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Volume flow (Volume flow) | 500 l/min | Suitable for a delivery capacity of 30.0 m³/h |
| Maximum Operating Pressure (Max. operating pressure) | 40 bar | For high-pressure applications |
| Pressure stages / Cylinder | 2 / 2 | Two-stage compression system |
| Electric Motor Performance | 9 kW | Powerful Drive |
| Speed (Speed) | 1,500 RPM | Optimized operating speed |
The SV 500/40 He is a piston compressor specially optimized for helium. The two-stage design allows for efficient and controlled building up of the gas pressure up to the desired 40 bar. The 9 kW electric motor provides sufficient energy to maintain the volume flow rate of 500 liters/minute (30 m³/h), while the 1500 revolutions/minute speed creates an optimal balance between performance and component longevity.
Helium, as a difficult-to-handle gas, imposes special requirements on compressor design. Becker responds to this challenge with superior cooling technology, which is essential for regulating the temperature increase that occurs during compression. This thermal management not only increases safety but also prevents the premature wear of seals and valves.
Great emphasis was placed on user-friendly operation during the design of the equipment. The fully automatic discharge function ensures that the system always remains at the optimal pressure and automatically equalizes the pressure if necessary. This function is particularly valuable in processes where pressure fluctuations are not permitted.
J.A. Becker & Söhne is committed to durability, which is reflected in long maintenance intervals. This design philosophy minimizes service requirements, resulting in significant cost savings over the entire operating cycle.
This compressor is a first-class product in every respect, meeting the highest industrial demands. The robust construction and precise engineering guarantee that the SV 500/40 He will be a reliable partner in the helium supply chain for the long term.
