Description
Terra Universal’s Nitrogen Generator is designed to provide
reliable dry nitrogen without the expense and inconvenience
associated with bottled systems. It uses efficient membrane
separation technology to generate nitrogen from compressed
air (see the chart below for typical system performance).
The system contains a gas pressure regulator and indicating
gauge, a flowmeter, a 1-micron air-line coalescing prefilter, a
0.01-micron air-line coalescing filter, and the air separator
membrane module. The prefilter removes all solids 1 micron
and larger, along with water droplets and most oil aerosols.
The coalescing filters remove solids 0.01 microns and larger
and 99.999+% of oil aerosols, thereby protecting the
membrane module from oil and other impurities in the
incoming air-line and ensuring a long service life. Oil and
moisture condensation from the prefilter and coalescing filters
exits the system through a 1/4" slip-fit connector that can be
directed to an in-house drain.
