We run a couple of OnSite Gas Nitrogen generators to supply 4 select 
solder machines, so not huge volume required like wave or an oven, Hooked 
them up to a big reservoir tank ( I think 600 gal) to maintain 
consistency. 
You need to know the flow rate you require before picking a model. With 
ours at a steady 2.9 m³/hr we get 99.995%  (if you want higher flow, less 
purity)
It is less purity than we get when we used bottles, but barely noticed and 
the difference does not affect soldering.

For our location trucking in tanks or liquid was really expensive. The 
generators paid for themselves almost instantly and are very low 
maintenance.

We have nitrogen generators on four selective solder machines at one of 
the companies I work for. During the off-shift hours, the SS machine 
nitrogen generator is switched with a simple valve to refill empty 
nitrogen tanks. We then use the refilled tanks elsewhere in the building 
for other applications. We can measure the quality of the surplus nitrogen 
using the built in monitors. 
Thinking about getting rid of the liquid tank outside.

Hi Blair
What soldering processes?  We run two selective solder machines using a 
nitrogen generator, it is reasonably economical.  And pretty low 
maintenance.  At a previous job I looked at replacing the liquid nitrogen 
tank with a generator, big bucks but so is tank nitrogen.

cheers,

Hi Technetters,

We are thinking of switching from using bottled / tanked nitrogen for our 
soldering processes to getting a nitrogen generator. Looking for advice on 
what systems others are using and what they like / dislike about them. You 
can reply directly if you don't want to share with the list.

Thanks,
Blair

Anyone tried using the search tools from the web interface lately? I can't 
seem to get it to work.
