Because nitrogen is more stable than oxygen it is common in the tires of vehicles that require more precision tuning such as race cars industrial machinery aircraft and spacecraft.
Nitrogen tank regulator tires.
Designed for nitrogen gas purging in air conditioning refrigeration and plumbing systems these valves automatically reduce a high inlet pressure from to a lower stable outlet pressure.
That makes some consumers think that nitrogen is a better choice for regular old cars and there could be some truth to that.
All have compressed gas association cga numbered inlet fittings for secure connections to compressed gas tanks.
It has a micro gauge that shows you how much nitrogen is left so you ll know when you need a.
On our diy tank we added a secondary regulator in order to drop our psi down from that fixed 150.
Proponents claim that filling your car s tires with nitrogen will save you money on fuel prevent wheel rot and yield better performance.
Most auto dealers recommend nitrogen inflation exclusively for vehicles with tire pressure monitoring systems to prevent heat related pressure warnings from your vehicle.
Step 4 maintaining the nitrogen tires.
But in reality nitrogen has few benefits and much higher.
One system many sizes.
Our new regulator is small lightweight yet durable.
If you for some reason need to adjust the psi coming from the tank into your tires or tools then an adjustable co2 regulator is what you want which is what power tank offers.
Gentec nitrogen aircraft tire inflation systems are available in two versions.
Co2 tanks use a different non compatible fitting regulator for inert gas argon nitrogen etc with cga 580 fittings fittings depends on your air hose and regulator type air hose with tire chuck or fitting of choice i picked up the tank from a restaurant supply house they are typically used for beer.
Pressure reducing single stage regulator and tire inflator with resetable dial pressure gauge.
The final thing you need to do is keep an eye on your nitrogen tires.
Use the knob to select the set pressure for testing purging or brazing.
Brass nitrogen regulator with double 2 gauges 600 psi delivery pressure cga580 inlet thread 1 4 male flare outlet fitting 4 5 out of 5 stars 37 33 99 33.
It s possible to check the levels of nitrogen in the tires and then top it up if needed periodically.
Typically for argon nitrogen etc.
Its large sized molecule helps with tire pressure retention leads to more uniform tire wear and allows for better gas mileage.
