The performance of our PSA type Nitrogen Generators is based on minimum 100 psig / 6.9 bar g operating at
standard conditions. Operation at higher or lower pressure will result in a nitrogen production above or below
design.
Operation at higher pressures than 150 PSIG may damage the media inside the pressure beds. Also, f
air supply is capable of greater than 150 PSIG be sure that the delivered flow rate is less than the safety relief
capacity. Consult South-Tek Systems for your safety relief capacity if your air pressure is greater than 150
PSIG.
Air consumption for each Nitrogen Generator depends on nitrogen product purity and flow rate. Please
consult South-Tek Systems for details.
3.2
Additional Piping and Hoses
The air supply piping components must be capable of supplying the required amount of feed air at the
required pressure measured at the generator inlet connection. If the length of piping from the air receiver is
greater than 50 feet, an air supply line one size larger than the Nitrogen Generator inlet air nozzle size should
be used.
3.3
Electrical Supply
Power supply must be
110 V - 240 V / 50 - 60 Hz / 1 PH / 7A
as labeled on the unit. Power consumption is
less than 100W. Each unit is supplied with a 110 VAC USA power cord; however, obey local code to finalize
your power connection to your site supply.
If you are located outside the US and need to select a power cord
you will need a properly rated plug for your region with a ground.
3.4
Site Specifications
Select a non-hazardous area indoors for installation which remains above 33
F / 0.5
C and below 100
F / 38
C. Adequate space should be provided around the generator for access and routine maintenance. Ensure that
there is enough space for the air receiver and product receiver skid next to the unit.
The exhaust piping from the nitrogen generator may be vented outside, but any additional piping used should
be the same size as the exhaust piping supplied with the generator or larger depending on the length of the
pipe. Exhaust piping should not have any restrictions or valves, and should be as short as possible.
