What are the technical advantages of nitrogen generators in beverages?

A beverage nitrogen generator utilizes pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, employing high-quality carbon molecular sieve as the adsorbent to produce nitrogen from air under specific pressure. Purified and dried compressed air undergoes pressure adsorption and pressure swing desorption in an adsorption tower. Due to kinetic effects, oxygen diffuses through the micropores of the carbon molecular sieve much faster than nitrogen. Before adsorption equilibrium is reached, nitrogen is enriched in the gas phase, forming the finished nitrogen product. The pressure is then reduced to atmospheric pressure, desorbing oxygen and other impurities from the adsorbent, thus regenerating it. Typically, the system includes two adsorption towers; one tower produces nitrogen while the other undergoes desorption and regeneration. A PLC program automatically controls the alternating operation of the two towers to ensure continuous production of high-quality nitrogen.

What are the technical advantages of nitrogen generators in beverages?

  Beverage Nitrogen GeneratorBased on the principle of pressure swing adsorption (PSA), it uses high-quality carbon molecular sieve as the adsorbent to produce nitrogen from air under a certain pressure. The purified and dried compressed air undergoes pressure adsorption and pressure swing desorption in the adsorber. Due to the kinetic effect, the diffusion rate of oxygen in the micropores of the carbon molecular sieve is much greater than that of nitrogen. Before adsorption reaches equilibrium, nitrogen is enriched in the gas phase to form finished nitrogen. Then, the pressure is reduced to normal pressure, and the adsorbent desorbs the adsorbed oxygen and other impurities to achieve regeneration. Generally, two adsorption towers are set up in the system. One tower adsorbs nitrogen, and the other tower desorbs and regenerates. The PLC program automatically controls the two towers to alternate cycles to achieve the purpose of continuous production of high-quality nitrogen.

 

　　Beverage Nitrogen GeneratorTechnical Advantages:

　　1. Easy Installation: The equipment has a compact structure and is skid-mounted, occupying a small area and requiring no infrastructure investment, resulting in low investment.

　　2. Carbon Molecular Sieve: It has a large adsorption capacity, high pressure resistance, and long service life. The normal operating life can reach 8 years.

　　3. Fault Safety System: The system is equipped with a fault system alarm and automatic start-up function to ensure safe system operation.

　　4. Continuous Display of Oxygen Content and Overlimit Automatic Alarm System: Online monitoring of nitrogen purity ensures the stability of the required nitrogen purity.

　　5. Automatic Discharge System for Unqualified Nitrogen: Automatically discharges low-purity nitrogen at the initial stage of startup and delivers gas after reaching the standard.

　　6. Advanced Filling Technology Ensures Equipment Service Life: Advanced filling technology ensures uniform distribution of the molecular sieve without dead angles and prevents pulverization; the adsorption tower uses a multi-stage airflow distribution device and a self-tightening device with a balancing method. This ensures the adsorption performance and tightening state of the carbon molecular sieve, effectively extending its service life.

　　7. Unique System Cycle Switching Technology: Reduces valve wear, extends equipment life, and reduces maintenance costs.

　　8. Strong Technology and After-Sales Service: Provides continuous technical support, ensuring users have peace of mind.

　　9. Ideal Purity Selection Range: Nitrogen purity is easily adjustable and can be adjusted according to user needs between79%～99.99%and can be adjusted at will. With the unique purification technology in the latter stage, anitrogen purifier can produce high-purity nitrogen with a purity of 99.9995%.

　　10. High-Quality Components Ensure Stable and Reliable Operation: Key components such as pneumatic valves and electromagnetic pilot valves use imported configurations, ensuring reliable operation, fast switching speed, a service life of over 300 million times, low failure rate, easy maintenance, and low maintenance costs.

　　11. Electromechanical Integration Design Achieves Automated Operation:Imported PLC controlFully automatic operation. Nitrogen flow, pressure, and purity are adjustable and continuously displayed. Pressure, flow, and purity alarms can be set, and remote automatic control and detection and measurement can be achieved, realizing truly unmanned operation. The advanced control system makes operation simpler, enabling unattended and remote control, and real-time monitoring of various operating conditions, ensuring the stability of gas purity and flow.

Application of PSA pressure swing adsorption nitrogen generators in SMT welding

In recent years, with the increasing demand for the quality of welding products and the increasingly stringent national environmental protection requirements, lead-free welding has become widely popular. Inert nitrogen welding has been favored for its ability to improve product quality. Although the purchase of nitrogen atmosphere requires a certain amount of investment, it is much lower than the cost of environmental protection and rework due to welding defects. Therefore, the role of inert nitrogen atmosphere in SMT welding is increasingly valued and will gradually be accepted and widely used. However, the cost of using nitrogen depends largely on the flow rate, operating hours, reflow oven structure, and production process, and the choice of nitrogen source is even more important.
