High-pressure Breathing-air Vertical Charging Set
The BPV Series Vertical Charging Set are advanced charging sets available in five models with charge rates between 7.5 cfm and 24.5cfm.
Benefits of the Vertical Charging Set
Vertical design saves space and offers easy access for maintenance
Square cylinders give larger cooling area to aid heat dissipation
Combined pressure differential/splash lubrication eliminates oil pump
Duplex piston design reduces wear
Fits through standard doorway for convenient installation

Compressors are air-cooled balanced vee design with powerful multi-blade cooling fans. Fitted with inter-stage coolers incorporating drainable moisture traps, integrated aftercooler and pressure relief valve at each stage of compression. Lubrication is by controlled splash and the crankcase is totally enclosed, so no oil vapour is vented to the atmosphere. On the BP20V and BP25V a diagnostic pressure gauge is connected to each compression stage.
Purification of the Vertical Charging Set
8V, 10V, 13V: Hamworthy PAS 9 single-chamber system fitted with disposable cartridges filled with a combination of molecular sieve and activated carbon. Filter base is fitted with safety valve, pressure-maintaining valve and moisture drain valve. Cartridge process capacity under average temperature/humidity conditions is approx 28,800 cu ft (816 m³). Air purity generally exceeds all recognised international standards. A colour indicator shows when media is saturated or cartridge needs replacement (this can be done in a few minutes without special tools or any disturbance to high-pressure fittings).
20V, 25V: As above but Hamworthy PAS 5+9+9 3-chamber system. The final chamber also includes a catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide. Filter process capacity under average temperature/humidity conditions is approx 56,000 cu ft (1586 m³).
Charging facilities of the Vertical Charging Set
These compressors are normally fitted with two filling hoses (8V, 10V, 13V) or three hoses (20V, 25V) for direct bottle filling. Each hose incorporates a control valve, pressure bleed and connector to customer’s specification.
