PSA nitrogen gas generators

How it works

NITROSOURCE/NITROSOURCE COMPACT operates via the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) principle to produce a continuous stream of nitrogen gas from compressed air. Pairs of extruded aluminium columns are filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). Pre-treated compressed air
enters the bottom of the ‘online’ column and flows up through the CMS. Oxygen and other trace gases are preferentially adsorbed by the CMS, allowing nitrogen to pass through. After
a pre-set time the on-line column automatically switches to regenerative mode, venting contaminants from the CMS. Carbon molecular sieve differs from ordinary activated carbons as it has a much narrower range of pore openings. This allows small molecules such as oxygen to penetrate the pores and separate from nitrogen molecules which are too large to enter the CMS. The larger nitrogen molecules by-pass the CMS and emerge as the product gas.

Features

• Can operate from a standard factory compressed air supply

• Delivers 5% down to 10ppm oxygen content, without the need for any additional purification

• Available in many models offering varying flow rates and purities

• Automatic economy mode

• Built-in oxygen analyser for continuous purity monitoring

• Digital and analogue outputs for remote monitoring

• Alarm capabilities

• User friendly control interface

• Compact design

• Unique Energy Saving Technology: Exactly matches compressed air flow with nitrogen gas outlet flow and purity, for lowest energy consumption

• Modular concept

Benefits

• Energy saving technology. Matches compressed air flow to the nitrogen outlet flow and purity, reducing compressed air use, and saving energy and money.

• Lower cost maintenance, extensive working life. The Carbon Molecular Sieve, the ‘engine’ of the generator delivers nitrogen more efficiently, leading to a very long working life – and major savings on maintenance.

• Five year warranty. Free through Parker Alliance, offering the assurance of no unexpected maintenance costs and maximized factory up-time.

• Industry compliance. Food and pharmaceutical safe, in line with European statute (EIGA) and the USA Food & Drugs Administration (FDA Article 21) and Pharmacopeia compliance.

• Gas quality control.

  • Mass Flow Controller – ensuring correct set pressure and flow

  • Integral Oxygen Analyser – constantly measures gas purity

  • Off-Gas-By-Pass – automatically vents off out-of specification gas ensuring product quality by ensuring gas quality

  • Inlet and Outlet Pressure Regulation – preventing damage to the generator or application

  • Electronic Control System – 100% management of all critical generator functions

• Remote monitoring. Enabling connection to proprietary remote management and the generator control systems to control and track gas parameters from a central location.

• Easily upgradable supply. Simply add extra generators as the application requirement grows.

• Space saving design. The compact design means the system demands less floor space.

• Reduced carbon footprint. The elimination of cylinder deliveries and transportation means carbon footprint can be reduced.

Range Overview

Nitrosource compact N2C-2, N2C-4, N2C-6, N2C-8 nitrogen gas generators from Parker produce nitrogen gas from compressed air and offer a cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative to traditional nitrogen gas supplies such as cylinder or liquid. Nitrogen is used as a clean, dry, inert gas primarily for removing oxygen from products and/or processes. Nitrosource compact provides an on-demand, continuous source of nitrogen gas which can be used in a wide range of industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, laboratory, chemical, heat treatment, electronics, transportation, oil and gas and laser cutting.

NITROSOURCE N2-20P, N2-25P, N2-35P, N2-45P, N2-55P, N2-60P, N2-65P, N2-75P, N2-80P With unique design and advanced energy saving technology at its core the market leading NITROSource nitrogen gas generator requires less compressed air to generate more nitrogen. Together with substantially lower servicing costs, reduced downtime and a longer working life, it adds up to the most cost-efficient nitrogen supply available; significantly more affordable than traditional sources, and delivering huge savings over the lifetime of the generator. With over 20 years experience in the market, and over 50,000 units installed globally, Parker domnick hunter is first choice for innovative and reliable gas generation technology.
