The Spencer Turbine Company introduced the first hermetically
sealed multistage natural gas boosters in 1975. The company
continues to lead the industry with a range of designs using
Spencer's standard overhung blowers and multiple, spark-resistant
aluminum alloy impellers mounted directly on heavy-duty extended
motor shafts.
Spencer’s Low Capacity Series UL Listed Natural Gas Booster is a
single-stage design. Installations can boost pressure levels by 9
inches WC, with volumes to 12,000 ICFH. Spencer’s simple direct
drive and generous internal clearances provide for long-term
reliability and quiet operation — well within OSHA limits. The
unique leaktight hermetic design also provides a continuous flow
of natural gas around the explosion-proof motor, cooling the
motor and extending its life.
In addition, Spencer offers the GasCube™ series, an easy-to-install
natural gas booster skid package. It is pre-engineered, prepiped
and has a compact footprint. The GasCube package is also available
in organized modules for on-site assembly. Spencer’s complete
line of hermetic, single and multistage, low and high-pressure
gas boosters — including the GasCube skid package — undergo
standard commercial tests at the factory for leaks as well as for
power input, volume and pressure.

Gas Boosters, refer to Bulletin TDS-512 and for information on
the GasCube Series, refer to Bulletin No. 515.
