A PSA nitrogen generator is a device that produces nitrogen gas by separating nitrogen molecules from air using a pressure swing adsorption process.
The process works by passing compressed air through a bed of adsorbent material, such as molecular sieve, which attracts and retains oxygen molecules, while allowing nitrogen to pass through. As the pressure in the bed decreases, the nitrogen molecules are released and collected as a purified nitrogen gas stream.
PSA nitrogen generators are commonly used in a variety of applications, including food and beverage packaging, electronics manufacturing, chemical processing, and oil and gas production. They offer a cost-effective and convenient alternative to traditional nitrogen gas supply methods, such as cylinder or bulk liquid nitrogen, and provide a continuous supply of nitrogen gas on-demand.
Overall, PSA nitrogen generators provide a reliable and efficient solution for producing nitrogen gas, offering advantages such as cost-effectiveness, convenience, and the ability to produce nitrogen on-demand.
PSA nitrogen generators are used in a variety of applications, some of the common uses are:
Food and Beverage Packaging: Nitrogen is used to flush the headspace of food and beverage containers to reduce oxidation and extend shelf life.
Electronics Manufacturing: Nitrogen is used as a drying and cooling gas in the production of electronics, such as computer chips and LCD displays.
Chemical Processing: Nitrogen is used as an inert gas to prevent oxidation, combustion, and other chemical reactions in various chemical processes.
Oil and Gas Production: Nitrogen is used as a lifting gas to increase production rates in oil and gas wells, and as a purging gas in pipelines and tanks.
Welding: Nitrogen is used as a shielding gas to prevent oxidation during welding and plasma cutting.
Medical Applications: Nitrogen is used in medical applications, such as cryotherapy and cooling of MRI machines.
Laboratory: Nitrogen is used in laboratory settings, such as for the preservation of samples, the operation of mass spectrometers, and for blanketing sensitive equipment.
These are just a few examples of the many uses of nitrogen gas in various industries and applications. The use of a PSA nitrogen generator provides a convenient and cost-effective way to produce nitrogen gas on-demand, reducing the need for cylinder deliveries or bulk liquid nitrogen.
The clean compressed gas into KPN series PSA Nitrogen generator, the carbon molecular sieve adsorb the oxygen and release the Nitrogen. When the pressure rise up, carbon molecular sieve adsorb the oxygen, during the pressure reduce to the normal pressure, the carbon molecular sieve desorption the oxygen for regeneration. KPN series system generator with two tanks, one tank adsorb the oxygen to make the nitrogen, the other one on regeneration. For that cycle switching on two tanks, system can continue to make the nitrogen gas.
KL PSA Nitrogen generator, the carbon molecular sieve adsorb the oxygen and release the Nitrogen. When the pressure rise up, carbon molecular sieve adsorb the oxygen, during the pressure reduce to the normal pressure, the carbon molecular sieve desorption the oxygen for regeneration. KPN series PSA nitrogen generator with two tanks, one tank adsorb the oxygen to make the nitrogen, the other one on regeneration. For that cycle switching on two tanks, system can continue to make the nitrogen gas. KL nitrogen generator pure is 93~99.999% , flow rate is 3~400Nm3/h .
