Installation is straight forward. A connection from your house compressed air system to the nitrogen generator is required, as well as an electrical supply. Larger sized PSA nitrogen generators are shipped without the CMS and have to be filled on-site by experienced personnel.
As for health and safety issues, a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is required for CMS and nitrogen with possible training required. The noise level that a PSA generator operates at is less than 85 decibels – however hearing protection may be required depending on the size of the nitrogen generator and the individual business' Healthy and Safety Departments.
Is a PSA nitrogen generator best suited for your business' needs? You now know the features, how they work and which industries applications can benefit from a PSA generator. Please always ensure that when purchasing a nitrogen generator you do some research on the supplier you are dealing with to ensure that they have your company's best interests in mind (i.e. have dealt with like businesses and have recommended the same unit) and that they are reputable and have been in the business for at least 5 years.
PSA nitrogen generators have 8-12 switching valves with actuators depending on unit model. It will take a PSA generator less than one minute which adds up to over ½ million cycles per year so make sure the valves used are high quality, high cycle valves. If your nitrogen demand increases, research new modular units that can be expanded simply by adding additional "banks", compared to traditional twin tower designs.
