46-14025-2 In Stock

The 46-14025-2 by Newport is a Superpressure Diaphragm-Type Gas Compressor, engineered to efficiently manage the compression of diverse absolute pure fluids. When in contact with dry, immaculate, and corrosion-resistant metallic surfaces, it adeptly performs its function. This compressor serves as an optimal choice for a wide array of applications, including laboratory, industrial, and pilot plant scenarios, where there is a demand for low gas flows. Operating with a 14 to 1 maximum compression ratio, the 46-14025-2 is purposefully designed to facilitate the transition of gases from low to high pressure. It is particularly suited for situations that involve the calibration and testing of intricate components, such as missile system parts, where conventional hydrostatic pressure testing and calibration methods might prove challenging or infeasible. This compressor can be cleaned using fluids other than standard oils, if the need arises for specific applications. The compressor's check valves can be readily removed for cleaning or replacement.

The 46-14025-2’s construction materials can be tailored to accommodate specialized corrosion-resistant applications through custom orders. The compressor's versatility extends to its adaptability for intermittent or gas liquid service, allowing seamless transition between these modes by exchanging a set of exhaust and intake check valves. It remains effective when subjected to varying suction pressures, up to its maximum discharge pressure. An elastomer packing ensures an airtight oil seal, eliminating the need for frequent tightening and contributing to its extended operational life. Within the compressor's mechanics, a reciprocating plunger in the head mirrors a pumping action. This plunger compresses oil from a storage bulb, generating pulsations that actuate the diaphragm. The resultant compression and expansion of fluid occur on opposite sides of the diaphragm, regulated by head plate check valves. Below the diaphragm, oil is drawn into the chamber during the plunger's backstroke, driven by suction. Any surplus oil within the chamber is directed back to the storage bulb during the forward plunger stroke through a pressure limiting device. The 46-14025-2's discharge pressure is capably managed by a manually adjustable hydraulic mechanism, ensuring that it remains within predefined limits.
