Nitrogen is essential for most industrial and military applications. As a result， operators and staff need a steady supply of gas. Unlike delivering nitrogen through cylinders or tanks， on-site nitrogen generators offer several advantages， including low operating costs， low maintenance and improved safety. This article provides an overview of small nitrogen generators.

What is a small nitrogen generator?

Some industrial applications require low flow rates of high purity nitrogen. Small nitrogen generators are ideal for such applications. As such， a small nitrogen generator is a small generator that can produce and deliver low flow rates of high purity nitrogen for a variety of work and emergency applications. Some relevant applications for small nitrogen generators include fire suppression and prevention in coal mines， military operations， etc. In addition to stationary models， operators can install small nitrogen generators in isolated areas.

Portable nitrogen generators vs. small nitrogen generators

Advantages of on-site nitrogen production

Unlike small， portable nitrogen generators are significantly smaller and are essential for night vision goggle defogging and waterproofing for military personnel. In addition， portable nitrogen generators are safe， miniaturized， reliable， and can produce nitrogen anywhere and whenever needed. Like the portable， the compact nitrogen generator is safe and reliable. However， small generators require dedicated， remote locations for installation and nitrogen generation.

Industries that use small nitrogen generators

Small nitrogen generators remain essential to meet the needs of a number of industrial applications， including food packaging， chemical blankets， electronics， laboratory operations， and laser cutting.

Food Packaging

Since the presence of food oxygen in food packaging greatly reduces the shelf life of food products， it is a good practice to replace oxygen with nitrogen. Food manufacturers can achieve this by using nitrogen generators for food packaging items such as vegetables， fruits， meats and snacks and providing a cushion for them during transportation.

Chemical covering

Similarly， nitrogen from high-pressure nitrogen generators is a common component used to chemically cover chemical plants or manufacturing facilities that are prone to fires and explosions. This gas reduces the level of oxygen in these facilities， ensuring the safety of personnel and facilities.

Electronics Industry

In electronics applications， nitrogen is an important component needed in the soldering process as it reduces surface tension and enables cleaner removal of electrical solder joints. In addition， with a small generator， data centers can maintain ideal temperatures with a constant supply of nitrogen， preventing processors from overheating.

Laboratory Operations

Laboratory environments with high oxygen levels can easily have error-prone results. However， with a small industrial nitrogen generator， scientists can maintain a sufficient supply of nitrogen to create acceptable oxygen levels for accurate results in highly sensitive lab equipment and procedures.

Laser Cutting

Finally， the availability of nitrogen is critical for laser cutting applications. With a nitrogen generator for laser cutting， operators can meet their cleaning and quality assurance needs. Nitrogen can strengthen stainless steel and aluminized steel and improve their corrosion resistance.

Benefits of small nitrogen generators

Small nitrogen generators offer a number of advantages for industrial and other related applications. Some advantages include avoidance of costs associated with nitrogen tanks/cylinders， no supply limitations， low maintenance， portability， and increased safety. Unlike nitrogen tank/cylinder manufacturing services that require periodic financial commitments， the small nitrogen generator avoids long-term operating costs because the machine ensures a steady supply of nitrogen for the application in question. Uninterrupted nitrogen production and delivery helps to avoid supply constraints.

In addition， the generator can operate maintenance-free for a long period of time， requiring only constant cleaning and occasional replacement of the pre-filter. As a result， maintenance costs for the nitrogen generator are reduced. In addition， the small size of the compact nitrogen generators makes them easy to move around and allows them to be used in tight spaces. This portability makes them preferable to pre-filled nitrogen tanks or reservoirs. Finally， unlike nitrogen tanks， which require specific storage protocols， small generators do not， which greatly increases their safety in industrial applications.

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.
