[Suzhou XITE Gas] What you need to know about the maintenance of nitrogen generator

Although nitrogen generators require little maintenance, regular maintenance inspections are essential to keep them trouble free and prevent the shutdown of facilities and operations that depend on them. Regular maintenance of nitrogen generators by professional service providers is particularly beneficial to large facilities such as food factories. These types of facilities need to ensure that their operations are fully operational at all times while minimizing downtime.

Why is effective maintenance important to the nitrogen generator

For a variety of reasons, it is essential to ensure that your nitrogen generator is maintained on a daily basis. First, it ensures that your unit is regularly inspected. Secondly, regularly arranging the maintenance of the nitrogen generator can help you find potential problems as soon as possible, so that you can predict in advance any necessary adjustment, part replacement or repair that the nitrogen generator may need. This will help minimize maintenance and / or repair downtime for your facility.


A regular maintenance check of the nitrogen generator every three months can also ensure that your unit always operates at the best efficiency, which helps to reduce your operating expenses, reduce your energy consumption and prolong the service life of your unit.

Maintenance list of nitrogen generator

In order to help you correctly track the operation of nitrogen generator, we have compiled a maintenance list for your convenience.

1. Record all inspections and maintenance.

Recording the dates of inspection, maintenance and repair of the nitrogen generator will help you track what type of work has been done on the nitrogen generator and how long has elapsed since the last inspection.

Review and check the operation of the system. Check the air receiver in front of the nitrogen generator every day to see if there are any visible signs of moisture in the compressed air sent to the nitrogen generator. Make sure your nitrogen generator starts up as required and enters standby mode. Check for system leaks and optimum valve operation. If you find that your nitrogen generator does not operate according to standard parameters, it may indicate system leakage or valve failure.

2. Check purity level

Ensure that the nitrogen purity level of the nitrogen generator is the same as when the unit was originally installed. Low nitrogen purity readings may indicate a more serious problem.

Check whether the filter element needs to be replaced. Depending on how often you use the nitrogen generator, your filter needs to be replaced regularly. The carbon filter element should normally be replaced every 2000 hours of operation. Depending on the installation, the particulate and coalescing filter elements should be replaced every 4000 to 8000 hours of operation.

3. The oxygen analyzer also needs maintenance

The oxygen analyzer of nitrogen generator needs to be calibrated regularly. According to the purity of nitrogen, the nitrogen generator can operate when the analyzer is calibrated. Compressed air can be used to calibrate the low-purity analyzer, or high-purity analyzer calibration gas can be used for calibration. The analyzer sensor unit needs to be replaced regularly.

4. Maintenance message

If you see the maintenance suggestion message on the digital display screen of the nitrogen generator, please take the required measures immediately.

What steps can you take?

Follow the correct operating procedures.

Check the inlet compressed air storage tank for moisture every day.

Check the purity of nitrogen every day.

Replace the inlet compressed air filter as required.



Advantages of owning a field nitrogen generator (nitrogen generator):

Before using the nitrogen generation system on site, many enterprises in the industry have no choice but to buy nitrogen elsewhere. However, the use of on-site nitrogen generator can eliminate all the troubles related to bulk purchase of nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator is an option with the greatest benefit: the average cost of producing nitrogen by ourselves is one-third to one-half lower than the relevant cost of purchasing nitrogen. Using the on-site nitrogen generator system, there is no need to pay the freight when purchasing nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator system usually allows you to recover the cost within 18 months.

In addition to economy, the nitrogen generator system of the on-site nitrogen generator also provides:

Reliability - the nitrogen generator system, that is, the on-site nitrogen generator system, uses the surrounding air to generate nitrogen. Therefore, our customers never have to worry about the shortage of nitrogen. Reduce stress - improve safety through storage. Simple - we make it easy for people without relevant equipment experience. The visual touch screen control can control the stability of gas purity. At the same time, it can operate self diagnosis, visual operation diagram and maintenance plan reminder on the screen. Flexibility - our equipment is small and can be transported under various conditions, so as long as there is air and electricity, the equipment can operate stably anywhere. Fully automatic - once a downstream request is detected, production begins.

Why use XITE nitrogen generator?   Our nitrogen generator system provides reliable on-site nitrogen supply for various industries, which is famous in China and Southeast Asia. Our on-site nitrogen system can produce nitrogen with purity up to 99.999%. For our nitrogen generator, it can meet the nitrogen production in any place and any complex environment.
