  • Page 4: Introduction

    The N-Gen nitrogen generator works on the basis of a start / stop signal that is supplied externally. This can be in the form of a pressure switch or a digital output signal from another PLC. As soon as the N-Gen receives the signal, it immediately starts producing nitrogen.
  • Page 5: Precautions And Safety Instructions

    General safety standards When working with the N-Gen nitrogen generator, there are a number of safety risks that have to be considered. These risks include topics such as dangerous voltages, high pressure and danger of suffocation when breathing in a high concentration of nitrogen.
  • Page 6: Description Of General Hazard Symbols

    Description of general hazard symbols In addition to the identified risks for the nitrogen generator and the compressor, the following symbols can also be applied. When a hazard symbol is encountered, please observe its meaning carefully before further commencing the work. Symbol Description Symbol...
  • Page 7: System Components

    System components The N-Gen nitrogen generator consists of a nitrogen generator and a compressor. This chapter describes these components by providing an illustration and numbering the most important parts. The compressor is not described because different brands can be used that come with their own manual.

  • Page 11: General Operation

    Operation of the N-Gen nitrogen generator The N-Gen nitrogen generator regulates the pressure in a pressure vessel or directly to a consumer. How the N-Gen does this is explained in the next steps. The system requires a compressed air supply for this.

    Schematic overview of the N-Gen nitrogen generator Figure 4 gives a schematic overview of the N-Gen nitrogen generator. It shows how all components in the system communicate with each other. Air pressure Compressor to low NO Alarm Start Drainvalve External...
  • Page 13: Controller

    Display 1085 The operation of the N-Gen control can be done by means of a JGA1085. This board has a display on the front. At the back of the display the intelligence board is mounted. On the display the status of the system is shown and the settings can be made.
  • Page 14: Alarm And Error Handling

    Close the main valve; Light up the red alarm button. The N-Gen will respond the same to each of the alarms below. All alarms have the same urgency and the priority of which depends primarily on the nitrogen demand from other machines.
  • Page 15: Resetting Alarms

    The error levels are divided into four categories. Of these four categories, the lowest two are warnings and the highest two are alarms. Warnings report the error, but do not affect the operation of the N-Gen Control. When an alarm occurs the N-Gen Control will stop functioning.
  • Page 16: Maintenance And Service

    Service engineer *The compressors supplied by PRESSCON with the N-Gen nitrogen generator have an extra dirt trap at the bottom of the compressed air tank. This is not mentioned further in the compressor manual and is therefore included in the overview above.
