How Does a Nitrogen Generator Work?

Our nitrogen generators produce pure nitrogen gas using compressed air from a pressure compressor. In this process, moisture, oil vapor, dust particles, and hydrocarbons in the compressed air are captured and cleaned using a dryer, filters, and an activated carbon tower located along the line.

After passing through the filters, the purified air is directed to the CMS material in the nitrogen generator tanks. As the air passes through the CMS material, oxygen, argon, and carbon dioxide molecules are captured by the CMS material, lowering the dew point of the air and producing clean, dry, and high-purity nitrogen gas.

The produced nitrogen gas is stored in nitrogen stock tanks. High-pressure nitrogen compressors draw the nitrogen from the tank and fill the tube manifolds at a pressure of 230 bars. For laser cutting machines, depending on the type and quantity, the number of nitrogen tube manifolds can be increased. This way, even with increased nitrogen gas consumption, the system operates smoothly due to the additional nitrogen tube manifolds.

On the touchscreen control panel of the nitrogen generator, purity, pressure, flow rate of nitrogen gas, as well as the temperature, pressure, and dew point values of the compressed air are continuously displayed.
