Nitrogen Generators are Air Compressors with filters on them. Knowing how those filters function and restrict the air flow to your sprinkler system is vital to their success. They cannot keep up with the same leak rates as standard Air Compressors or Dry Air Generators. It’s inherent to their function - making 98% purity nitrogen gas through a membrane is not as efficient as most people think.
Our recommendations to potential Nitrogen customers:
1. Know your system’s leak rate BEFORE installing a nitrogen generator.
2. Make sure the Nitrogen Generator you’re quoted has the CFM capable of keeping up with that leak rate.
3. Make the investment to replace pipe for ALL major leaks in the system and bring your leak rate down well below NFPA’s allowable rate of 36 PSI in 24 hours. If not, you’re not protecting the additional investment you’re about to make in Nitrogen.
4. Think about your APPLICATION. Does this system require protection for 60-100 years? Is this an in-rack system or somewhere that could get knocked around with increased potential for leaks?
