Why use a nitrogen generator

A nitrogen generator is a device specifically used for preparing high-purity nitrogen, widely used in industrial production, scientific research experiments, pharmaceuticals, food processing, electronics and electrical fields. In order to better understand why a nitrogen generator is used, the following will provide a detailed explanation from the application requirements of nitrogen, the working principle, advantages, and applicable fields of the nitrogen generator. Firstly, let's understand the application requirements of nitrogen. Nitrogen is one of the main components in the Earth's atmosphere, accounting for approximately 78%, and has various unique properties. Nitrogen has the characteristics of being inert, stable, non flammable, and non-toxic, which makes it widely used in many fields. On the one hand, nitrogen can be used as an auxiliary fuel for processes such as power generation, combustion, and drying in industries such as metallurgy, chemical engineering, and power generation. On the other hand, nitrogen also has important applications in material preservation, gas protection, and replacing air. For example, in the food processing process, using nitrogen bottled food can extend the shelf life of the food, maintain its freshness and taste. In the pharmaceutical industry, nitrogen can be used to protect pharmaceutical raw materials and formulations, prevent oxidation, deterioration or contamination, and ensure the quality of drugs. In addition, nitrogen is widely used in fields such as electronics and electronics, semiconductors, and chemical analysis. So, in order to meet the application needs of these different fields, the emergence of nitrogen generators has become inevitable. The nitrogen generator mainly separates nitrogen and oxygen from the air through physical methods, and then separates the nitrogen to achieve the goal of high-purity nitrogen. The specific working principle is as follows: Firstly, the air (mainly nitrogen and oxygen) is filtered and dehumidified through a pre-treatment device to reduce impurities and moisture content. Next, the air enters the nitrogen generator and is compressed using a compressor to reach a certain pressure. Then, compressed air passes through a series of separation devices such as molecular sieves and membranes to separate nitrogen and oxygen based on physical properties such as molecular size and affinity.
