Nitrogen generators create clean, dry gas for various applications, including food preservation and electronics production. They are cost-effective and eliminate the need for gas cylinders. Cryogenic distillation is the latest technology used to generate nitrogen. Regular maintenance is required, and the generator should be checked for proper air compressor supply before purchasing.

Nitrogen generators are reliable outlets for nitrogen. As the name suggests, these machines are designed to generate or create nitrogen. Nitrogen is a clean, dry gas. The use of these generators eliminates the problems associated with handling gas cylinders. Plus, they cost less than gas bottles. The gas is used for many applications including:
to fill automobile and aircraft tyres, though not necessarily for regular consumer use
to help preserve the freshness of bulk and packaged foods
to be placed on top of explosives to improve safety
to assist in the production of electronic components

Nitrogen generators are available with a multitude of different features and qualities. Some require little or no maintenance after installation. Others include safety shut-off buttons and alarms. To eliminate the possibility of damage, the filter in generators should be changed regularly. For proper maintenance, these air filters should be changed every year and the oxygen sensor should be changed every two years.

The latest technology in nitrogen generators is the use of cryogenic distillation of air, which is used to generate nitrogen. With this method the air is compressed and then purified inside the generator. Subsequently, it is cooled down with a special cooling unit.

As the air passes through the nitrogen generators, it passes through several filters. This process causes the air to purify and cool even more. The oxygen and nitrogen are then separated within the liquid oxygen. The oxygen stays at the bottom, while the nitrogen stays at the top.

The entire process allows the nitrogen generators to replenish automatically without any manual input. This is achieved due to the low temperature inside the generators, which mixes a small amount of liquid nitrogen with the nitrogen already produced.

The nitrogen generators are easily installed and calibrated. Before purchasing a nitrogen generator, you should first check your air compressor to see if it is supplying the required volume of clean compressed air for the generator to operate properly.
