High-pressure enclosure
The high-pressure chamber is a cylinder closed by shutters and connected by hyperbaric tubing and valves to an external pressure generator, itself consisting of a multiplier or pump. This type of installation can compress large volumes (several hundred liters) at pressures of up to 6 kbar.
ExampleIn the food industry, 400 L systems use water as the compression fluid and a multiplier (infra...
