Why are compressed air filters necessary for nitrogen generation?

The primary composition of dry atmospheric air is ~78% nitrogen and ~21% oxygen, with the remaining ~1% being made up of argon, carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases. A cubic meter of compressed air contains more than 100 million particles, including water and oil, viruses and bacteria, and even heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and mercury. If compressed air is not treated with compressed air treatment, it can damage valves and cylinders during prolonged operation. This can lead to premature expansion and seal wear. Therefore, compressed air filters play a very critical role in nitrogen machine devices. YUKA as a leading manufacturer of high quality Compressed Air Filters for nitrogen generations in China. We could supply types of air filter to meet all purity classes according to ISO 8573-1, protecting your equipment, reducing the energy consumption, total cost of ownership and adding to your satisfaction.

Coalescing filter: With Yuka coalescing filters, part of the moisture in compressed air is effectively removed, but more importantly, particles and hydrocarbons are effectively removed. The particle filtration capacity ranges from 0.05 microns to 0.01 microns, and the hydrocarbon filtration capacity ranges from 3mg/m³ to 0.005 mg/m³.

Activated carbon filters: Activated carbon filters remove hydrocarbons, trace oil mist, and odors from the air. Its filtration capacity is up to 0.003 mg/m³ of residual oil.

Sterilizing filters: Sterilizing filters are used to capture bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Sterilizing filter housings must be stainless steel. To ensure the sterilization of the filter element, it is necessary to sterilize it periodically with high temperature saturated steam. A steam filter is used to ensure maximum process safety. Autoclaves can also be applied for sterilization.

Applications for Nitrogen:

Nitrogen is one of the most commonly used gases in the industrial field, which is a colorless and odorless gas at room temperature and pressure. Its boiling point is -195.8 ° C, and its chemical properties are passive. Due to the aerodynamic effect, the diffusion rate of oxygen in the micropores of carbon molecular sieve is much higher than that of nitrogen, oxygen is preferentially adsorbed by carbon molecular sieve, and nitrogen is enriched in the gas phase to form finished nitrogen. Only under high temperature and pressure and catalyst can it react with hydrogen to produce ammonia. Nirtrogen are widely used in various industries such as:

- Oil and gas

-Nitrogen anti-fire equipment for coal mines

- Nitrogen filling for medicinal purposes

- Food industry nitrogen production equipment

- Electronics industry use of nitrogen

- Nitrogen machines for the metal processing industry (≥99.999%)

- Nitrogen vulcanization of automobile tires
