We understand the importance of reliability and longevity when it comes to your investments, and this acquisition indicates our dedication to delivering excellence at every touchpoint of your customer journey.
Crafted with precision in the USA, The QDS Odyssey oil-free high-pressure reciprocating boosters are designed to meet the demands of the most rigorous applications. Boasting standard capabilities of up to 600 PSIG and 500 SCFM for both Air and Nitrogen, these boosters are engineered to deliver exceptional performance consistently.
Trust Quincy Compressor’s Odyssey line of Oil-Free Air and Nitrogen boosters for your critical project needs. Designed to prevent contamination and losses of the gas stream, these units provide worry free operation and a 20+ year life expectancy.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS
If your application doesn’t fit within the published QDS Odyssey lineup, don’t worry, we have boosters capable of delivering a range of pressures, flows, and gasses (beyond Air and Nitrogen), and can design a package specifically to fit your needs.
We take an active role in the application and design of every installation of our boosters to ensure success and begin by acknowledging that every application, and therefore every customer, has unique requirements. With this open mindset, we investigate the details of the application and work out potential problems before they occur. Armed with knowledge and experience we can accurately recommend a tailored booster system to solve your challenge.
Variety of models available capable of 1500psig and limited models up to 3000psig.
Some gases include: Argon, Biogas Methane, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Ethane, Heliox, Helium, Krypton, LPG, Natural Gas, Neon, Xenon
As the combinations of inlet pressure, discharge pressure, required flow and gas type are nearly limitless, we encourage you to contact us for assistance in sizing the proper gas compressor for your application. Contact our team of experts to help create a custom solution for you.

Performance Under Pressure
Standard oil-free compressed air systems in industrial facilities are typically designed for pressures of 80 to 130 psig. When higher pressures are required it is very cost effective to use a portion of your plant air and apply an oil-free air booster to obtain the desired pressure.
Other methods of acquiring higher pressure air such as stand-alone air compressors, air amplifiers and increasing the pressure of the entire plant are more costly and less efficient.

Application Spotlight
Laser Cutting Nitrogen Booster
Nitrogen Pressure Boosting
The two main factors when using nitrogen as an assist gas for laser cutting are: purity & high pressure. Purity: Laser cutting machines require high purity nitrogen to provide a precise and clean cut. Low Purity nitrogen could cause oxidizing of the metal and burrs. Quincy Compressor oil-free nitrogen boosters ensure that your nitrogen remains pure as no oil is allowed to enter compression.
High pressure: The nitrogen must be supplied at high pressures, on average 200-450 psig to create clean and precise cuts. Quincy Compressor nitrogen boosters are engineered to provide the pressure your laser cutting application requires.

Odyssey QDSi Easy Install Package
Buffer, Discharge Tank, Filtration and Flow Management System.
Bulletproof Installation
The Odyssey QDSi Easy-Install add-on package greatly reduces the potential for installation errors and incorrect component selection by providing the user with everything needed to ensure a successful turnkey installation. Provided is the plumbing and wiring to connect the suction and discharge to an existing Quincy Compressor booster. Inclusion of Quincy Compressor recommended components, pre-assembled at our facility, ensures a bulletproof installation solution at a lower cost.
Reduced Maintenance Costs
The QDSi Easy-Install package provides protection of equipment with Quincy Compressor specified filters. Inclusion of an inlet filter provides an extra barrier between supplied air/nitrogen and the Quincy Compressor booster. Limiting the amount of debris entering the booster reduces wear and tear on internal components and results in lowered maintenance costs.
Extended Booster Life
The innovative recycle line featured in the QDSi Easy-Install is used to recirculate excess compressed air/nitrogen back through the booster. This results in fewer load/unload cycles, which extends the life of the booster.
Reduces Space Requirements
Recirculation of excess gas also eliminates the need for large and expensive storage vessels, giving the user a better value on the space used in their facility.
Made in the USA
Every system we build is manufactured at our plant in Utah. Replacement parts are stocked on our shelves and available for next day delivery.
