Taiyo Nippon Sanso Corporation (TNSC) recently announced that it has launched sales of the RZ series of new PSA–type nitrogen gas generators equipped with new functions in Japan.

For the RZ series, TNSC newly adopted an adsorbent (MSC, molecular-sieving carbon) capable of effectively producing nitrogen gas even with raw material air at 0.7 MPa or under. This allows customers’ factories to use surplus air as raw material air, which had been difficult to use due to low pressure, while saving energy and reducing costs.

TNSC also adopted a new function “heat drive mode”. As a result, the temperature at which nitrogen PSA installation is possible can be raised from the original 40℃ to 50℃, thereby achieving stable operation even when used in high-temperature installation locations and outdoors. TNSC forecast sales of 10 units in the first year.
