Nitrogen Generation System and Nitrogen Booster Easily produce a cost-effective and continuous nitrogen gas supply Operation of numerous Nordson® adhesive dispensing systems can be enhanced by use of nitrogen gas. The family of foaming systems uses the nitrogen gas to create the closed cell foam that both improves the physical properties and reduces the volume, and the expense, of adhesives and sealants. Additionally, nitrogen gas can be used with nearly any Nordson tank melter or extruder to create a nitrogen blanket to promote the use of reactive materials while simplifying their use and protecting the integrity of their adhesive properties. However, easily maintaining a readily-available, economical source of nitrogen gas has been challenging. Traditionally, nitrogen gas supply has used high-pressure cylinders. These cylinders can be cumbersome to deal with, need to be changed out regularly, and can be expensive to replace or refill. And, the high-pressure aspect mandates special storage and handling that involves extensive training be administered and maintained. Inventory must be retained and replenished/re-ordered on a regular basis with the risk of running out and halting production if cylinders are depleted or experience faults or defects. And, changing out cylinders involves stopping production, directly impacting operational efficiencies and product quality and scrap. The Nordson nitrogen generation system assures continuous, in-line nitrogen gas availability and eliminates variability of price fluctuations. The compact system can be positioned close to the point of application and feeds directly into the manufacturing process. There is no wasted nitrogen as you produce only what is needed and there is no residual gas as can be left unused in cylinders. Unwanted gases including oxygen, argon, helium The self-contained, wall-mount system is easily installed and maintained with no electrical connection or moving parts. Dualstage filtering removes debris and moisture from supply air. A special membrane technology then vents unwanted gases and allows the nitrogen gas to pass at a 95 to 99.5% purity level. Nitrogen Booster Some Nordson foaming systems need a booster to raise the nitrogen gas pressure. The Nordson nitrogen booster connects directly to the nitrogen generation system to seamlessly achieve the pressure to optimize the material foaming process. The compact, lightweight booster can be mounted virtually anywhere between the generator and the foaming system and offers easy operation and monitoring.

Nitrogen Generation System and Nitrogen Booster Set-up and operation are simple: 1. sing ¼” tubing connect a regulated, clean, compressed U air supply to the input fitting on the generator. 2. f low pressure nitrogen is needed: I a. Using ¼” tubing connect generator outlet directly to device requiring inert gas. Adjust incoming air pressure to the desired nitrogen pressure (add 10 psi nominal additional air pressure to allow for system pressure drop). 3. If high pressure nitrogen is needed: a. Using ¼” tubing connect the nitrogen generator outlet to “GAS IN” port of booster pump. b. sing...
