Nitrogen is on tap, on demand and on the
road
Nitrogen production system eliminates the inconveniences and costs of cylinder gas on the production line as well as the reliance on external deliveries and outside vendors.
Parker Hannifin is seeing its nitrogen generation technology being used more and more across the broad church that is the automotive industry Not only does it see action at all stages of a car's life from prototyping to tyre filling, but also across the entire automotive spectrum from Formula one down to standard street cars

Stepper drive and indexer offered at under GBP200
Parker Hannifin's Electromechanical Division is offering its new XL25i stepper drive and indexer, together with a compatible 23 frame motor and PC-based motion control software, for just GBP199.
Drives include low-cost entry module
Parker Hannifin's Electromechanical Division will be launching a number of innovative stepper and servo products targeted specifically at the OEM market.
Parker's NitroSource system is based on hollow fibre membrane technology, which separates air into nitrogen and an oxygen-enriched air stream.
Equipped with a digital data management system, parameters such as flow, pressure and residual oxygen concentration can be monitored, stored and communicated to other devices or control systems.
The NitroSource system provides users with a raft of benefits.
These include eliminating the inconveniences and costs of cylinder gas as well as the reliance on external deliveries and outside vendors.
This, in turn, means that the storage space and costs involved with cylinders are removed, long term cost stability is assured and - just as importantly - users can control their own supply by providing the volume and purity required.
Applications for nitrogen include the provision of inert atmospheres for laser prototyping and laser cutting and in engine-testing cells where it is used as a purging gas both before and after test runs.
It is also gaining favour in the aftermarket as a tyre filling medium as it does not leech out of tyres quite as readily as standard atmospheric compressed air.
It is the favoured tyre filling medium not only for formula one but also for the world's aviation industry.
These benefits are not only being realised by the automotive industry, as Parker has seen both the need and the growing acceptance of a regular, controllable and manageable nitrogen stream across the food industry and the pharmaceutical sector to name but a few.
Indeed, those that have installed NitroSource hardware have had no reason to revert back to bottled supplies. Request a free brochure from Parker Hannifin ...
