The nitrogen generator produces nitrogen by using physical methods to separate nitrogen and oxygen from compressed air. To evaluate the performance of the nitrogen generator, the most critical technical parameters are the flow rate, purity, outlet pressure, and dew point. In order to ensure the efficient operation of nitrogen generators, nitrogen generator manufacturers often have the measurement equipment such as dew point meters and flow meters installed at the inlet and outlet of the nitrogen generators.
Having a dew point meter installed at the inlet of a nitrogen generator can monitor the dryness of the compressed air at the inlet, and therefore ensure the nitrogen generator works at the appropriate condition. Having a flow meter installed at the outlet of a nitrogen generator can help users monitor the amount of nitrogen used and prevent the problem of excessive purity resulting from excessive flow. In addition, the output signal from the flow meter can be connected to the PLC. Through programming, the nitrogen production process can be automatically adjusted according to the gas consumption in the purpose of saving compressed air.
A well-known air separation equipment manufacturer in the industry provides nitrogen and oxygen generators for mid- to high-end customers. The manufacturer used SUTO’s series of flow meters and dew point meters in its various nitrogen generators:
* For small pipe diameter and small flow nitrogen generators, SUTO’s S415/418 flow meters (DN8…DN25) are used. This series has flow regulators, and can be installed without the straight pipe section and with the features of stable quality, high precision, and economical and practical experiences.
* For large pipe diameter and large flow nitrogen generators, SUTO’s S421/S401 flow meters (DN32…DN200) are used, which have a wide range of applications and feature stable quality, high precision, convenient installation, and easy maintenance.
Featuring a wide variety of types and applications, convenient installation, and quick service response, SUTO’s flow meters provide a comprehensive flow-monitoring solution for nitrogen and oxygen generator manufacturers.
In terms of dew point meters, SUTO’s unique products provide a one-stop purchasing platform for various nitrogen generators under this manufacturer’s brand:
* All models are in small sizes and with different measuring ranges.
* The explosion-proof dew point meter S230Ex, suitable for industrial and hazardous locations, has a dual-sensor system and maintains high accuracy at -100 … +20℃ Td full range.
The combination of air separation equipment manufacturers and compressed gas measurement equipment manufacturers brings energy-saving and efficient user experience to customers of nitrogen generators.
