Normal Operation
The High Purity Nitrogen Generator utilizes a ‘Pressure Swing Adsorption’ (PSA)
method to extract pure Nitrogen from air. This is where un-wanted gasses can be
selectively adsorbed from compressed air into a porous carbon molecular sieve
material (CMS). The Peak Scientific Instruments LTD. Generator utilizes a unique single
column system where the column is alternately pressurised and vented under a finely
tuned timing cycle. The rates of pressurisation and venting are accurately set which
guarantees high purity better than can be achieved with a similarly sized traditional
2-column system.
Unusual Operation
If at any time the generator begins to emit excessive noise or vibration, then it should
be switched off and you should contact Peak Scientific or the Peak Partner from which
the generator has been purchased.
