4V4BG, OXYGEN COMPRESSOR 4V4BG SERIES

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 single-acting 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.

Specifications
Oxygen Generation and Cylinder Filling
Air is compressed by the feed Air Compressor, passed through an Air Dryer and stored in the Air Storage Tank. Regulated air is then fed into the PSA Oxygen Generator where oxygen is generated (typically 92% to 95% O2, or high purity oxygen to 99.5% O2) and stored. From the Oxygen storage tank
regulated oxygen is fed into the RIX high pressure Oxygen compressor where the oxygen is boosted to tank pressure and fed to the Manifold and into the high pressure oxygen cylinders. The RIX Oxygen Compressor that is needed is determined by the capacity of the PSA Oxygen generator based on
the number of high pressure oxygen cylinders to be filled each day.
Why Choose RIX Oxygen Compressors?
Reliability: Many of these machines have exceeded 5000 hours of dependable service before their first maintenance. With minimal service they continue to reliably fill high pressure oxygen cylinders.
Long Service Life: Operating up to 24 hours per day, these units have shown exceptional service giving years of duty between overhaul. Once serviced and put back on the job, these units continue to provide excellent dependable operation.
Safety: Excellent engineering, choice of materials and conservative design result in a safety record second to none. Hundreds of these machines are currently operating safely and dependably around the world under many different operating conditions.
