What is the difference between a nitrogen compressor and an air compressor

Perhaps you only know about air compressors because it is the most widely used type of compressor. However, oxygen compressors, nitrogen compressors, and hydrogen compressors are also common compressors. This article focuses on the differences between air compressors and nitrogen compressors to help you understand which type of compressor you want.

The difference between nitrogen compressor and air compressor

What is a nitrogen compressor?

A nitrogen compressor is a device used to compress and deliver dry nitrogen. In addition to the main engine, the nitrogen compressor unit also includes various stages of gas coolers, inlet and outlet dampers, asynchronous motors, and oil supply devices. Dry nitrogen enters the compressor via the filter and reaches a specified high pressure through a multistage compression final pressure. After each stage of compression, the hot gas is cooled by a water-cooled shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

What is an air compressor？

An air compressor is a device that converts power (using an electric motor, diesel or gasoline engine, etc.)into potential energy stored in pressurized air (ie, compressed air). By one of several methods, an air compressor forces more and more The compressed air, then, is held in the tank until called into use. The energy contained in the compressed Air can be used for a variety of applications, utilizing the kinetic energy of the air as it is released and the tank depressurizes. when tank pressure reaches its lower limit, the air compressor turns on again and re-pressurizes the tank. Must be differentiated from a pump because it works for any gas/air, while pumps work on a liquid.

The difference between nitrogen compressor and air compressor

First of all, from the definition of analysis:

A nitrogen compressor is a device used to compress and deliver dry nitrogen. In addition to the main engine, the unit also includes gas coolers at all levels, inlet and outlet dampers, asynchronous motors (YKK630-12 type), and oil supply devices. Dry nitrogen enters the compressor via the filter and reaches a specified high pressure through a multistage compression final pressure. After each stage of compression, the hot gas is cooled by a water-cooled shell-and-tube heat exchanger.

Air compressor is the basic product of industrial modernization. It is said that electrical and automation have the meaning of full aerodynamics; air compressor is the main source of electromechanical air source device for pneumatic equipment. It is a device that converts the mechanical energy of a motive (usually an electric motor) into gas pressure energy, and is a pneumatic generating device for compressed air. The composition includes an oil circulation system, a gas circulation system, a water circulation system, a power distribution system, a screen protection system, a DC power supply system, and a DTC control system.

From the installation position: the air compressor is installed in front of the nitrogen compressor (the air compressor supplies the preliminary compressed air to the nitrogen compressor, and then the nitrogen compressor separates the oxygen in the air through a membrane separation device to provide high pressure. Nitrogen only.)
