Helium is a valuable and hard-to-seal gas used in cryogenics, leak testing and research. Helium compressors must handle its low molecular weight and high value.
Applications
- MRI magnet cooling and cryogenics.
- Leak testing and research.
- Balloon and airship inflation.
Technical Challenges
- Helium is the second lightest gas and leaks easily.
- Recovery systems reduce helium loss.
- High purity is often required.
Compressor Types
- Diaphragm and screw compressors are common.
- Oil-free designs protect gas purity.
- Recovery and recycle loops improve economics.
Why is helium recovery important?
Helium is expensive and scarce, so recovering and recompressing it reduces operating cost significantly.
