Nitrogen source handles violent extremes
For a recent oilfield application in Sudan, Parker Hannifin had to call on all its experience as a system provider to deliver robust, reliable gas generation equipment.
Filters remove up to 99.99% of particles
A new range of Balston filters for compressed air and gas perform consistently to higher standards than any other coalescing filters in harsh environments and aggressive conditions.
Filter housings handle demanding applications
Dependable and economical high-purity filtration systems for even the most aggressive chemicals can easily be implemented using the new TruFluor and TruFluor+ filter housings.
Parker's NitroSource system is based on hollow fibre membrane technology, which separates air into nitrogen and an oxygen-enriched air stream.
Equipped with a digital data management system, parameters such as flow, pressure and residual oxygen concentration can be monitored, stored and communicated to other devices or control systems.
The NitroSource system provides users with a raft of benefits.
These include eliminating the inconveniences and costs of cylinder gas as well as the reliance on external deliveries and outside vendors.
This, in turn, means that the storage space and costs involved with cylinders are removed, long term cost stability is assured and - just as importantly - users can control their own supply by providing the volume and purity required.
Applications for nitrogen include the provision of inert atmospheres for laser prototyping and laser cutting and in engine-testing cells where it is used as a purging gas both before and after test runs.
It is also gaining favour in the aftermarket as a tyre filling medium as it does not leech out of tyres quite as readily as standard atmospheric compressed air.
It is the favoured tyre filling medium not only for formula one but also for the world's aviation industry.
These benefits are not only being realised by the automotive industry, as Parker has seen both the need and the growing acceptance of a regular, controllable and manageable nitrogen stream across the food industry and the pharmaceutical sector to name but a few.
Indeed, those that have installed NitroSource hardware have had no reason to revert back to bottled supplies. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin - Process Air and Gas ...
