Carbon molecular sieve (CMS) is a type of highly efficient adsorbent material used in nitrogen generators. It is characterized by its superior quality, high density, and compactness. Equipped with a spring-loaded mechanism, it ensures a balanced operation from top to bottom and is safeguarded by a dedicated pressure sensor.

For nitrogen purity levels below 99.99%, CMS-240 is typically employed as the preferred choice. However, when aiming for a purity of 99.999% in a single step, CMS-260 is utilized. These carbon molecular sieves play a crucial role in the nitrogen generation process, enabling the production of nitrogen gas with exceptional purity for various industrial, medical, and laboratory applications.

Ten common questions about nitrogen generators

1.What purity of nitrogen gas can a nitrogen generator produce?

• Nitrogen generators offer the advantage of producing nitrogen gas with a wide range of purities to cater to various application requirements. The achievable nitrogen purity levels span from standard industrial-grade nitrogen to high-purity nitrogen and even ultra-high purity nitrogen.
• Standard industrial-grade nitrogen typically falls within the range of 95% to 99% purity. This level of purity is suitable for many general industrial applications where nitrogen is used for processes such as inerting, purging, or blanketing. It provides an effective and reliable source of nitrogen while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
• For applications that demand higher purity levels, nitrogen generators can produce high-purity nitrogen exceeding 99.9% purity. Industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, and chemical processing often require this level of purity to ensure product quality, prevent contamination, or maintain specific process conditions. High-purity nitrogen helps maintain product integrity, enhances safety, and improves overall process efficiency.
• In certain sectors where the utmost purity is critical, such as semiconductor manufacturing, research laboratories, or analytical applications, nitrogen generators can produce ultra-high purity nitrogen exceeding 99.999% purity. This exceptionally pure nitrogen is necessary to meet stringent quality and performance standards, ensuring accurate and reliable results in sensitive processes and analytical instruments.
• The versatility of nitrogen generators allows users to adjust the nitrogen purity output based on their specific application needs, providing flexibility and cost-effectiveness. By offering a range of purity options, nitrogen generators support a wide array of industries and applications, ensuring that the generated nitrogen gas meets the precise requirements of each application.

2.What is the working principle of a nitrogen generator?

The working principle of a nitrogen generator is primarily based on either the adsorption technology using molecular sieves or membrane separation technology. Adsorption technology selectively adsorbs oxygen and moisture using a specific adsorbent material, such as molecular sieves, while allowing nitrogen to pass through. Membrane separation technology, on the other hand, utilizes the size and permeability of gas molecules to achieve the separation of nitrogen from other gas components on a membrane.

3.What inputs does a nitrogen generator require, and how does it operate?

A nitrogen generator typically requires air as the input source. When operating the nitrogen generator, air is compressed using an air compressor and then processed through the adsorber with molecular sieves or the membrane separator within the nitrogen generator. Finally, pure nitrogen is obtained as the output. Some nitrogen generators may also require an electrical power supply.

4.How is a nitrogen generator different from nitrogen supply in gas cylinders?

The main difference between a nitrogen generator and nitrogen supply in gas cylinders lies in the mode of nitrogen supply. A nitrogen generator continuously extracts nitrogen from the air, providing a continuous nitrogen supply without the need for cylinder replacements. In contrast, nitrogen supply in gas cylinders requires periodic cylinder replacements, and the supply quantity is limited by the cylinder capacity.

5.What should be considered for the maintenance of a nitrogen generator?

The maintenance of a nitrogen generator typically involves regular cleaning and replacement of the adsorber with molecular sieves or membrane separator, inspection and maintenance of the compressed air system, monitoring nitrogen generation performance, etc. Specific maintenance requirements should be referred to the user manual or guidance provided by the manufacturer of the nitrogen generator.

6.Which industries are nitrogen generators suitable for?

Nitrogen generators are widely used in various industries, including industrial, medical, food and beverage, and laboratory applications. They are commonly used in industries such as chemicals, electronics, and metal processing. In the medical field, they are used for anesthesia and gas delivery. In the food and beverage industry, they are used for packaging and preservation. In laboratories, they are used for atmospheric control and protection of equipment.

7.What is the noise level of a nitrogen generator during operation?

The noise level of a nitrogen generator varies depending on the model and design. Generally, nitrogen generators have low noise levels, especially when compared to traditional compressed air systems. Specific noise levels can be referred to the technical specifications or noise test reports of the nitrogen generator.

8.How long does it take for a nitrogen generator to start producing nitrogen gas?

The startup time of a nitrogen generator depends on the model and specifications. In general, nitrogen generators have short startup times, typically ranging from a few minutes to several tens of minutes. Larger capacity or higher purity requirement nitrogen generators may require longer startup times.

9.Can a nitrogen generator simultaneously produce nitrogen gas and oxygen gas?

The design purpose of a nitrogen generator is to separate oxygen and nitrogen to produce high-purity nitrogen gas. Therefore, in most cases, a nitrogen generator does not simultaneously produce nitrogen gas and oxygen gas. If simultaneous production of nitrogen and oxygen is required, additional equipment or techniques need to be used for further processing.

10.What is the energy consumption of a nitrogen generator?

The energy consumption of a nitrogen generator varies depending on the model, specifications, and operating conditions. Generally, nitrogen generators have relatively low energy consumption, especially when compared to traditional nitrogen supply in gas cylinders. Nitrogen generators are typically adjusted based on the actual nitrogen demand to improve energy efficiency and minimize energy consumption.
