General Description
The ECS Pre-Engineered Skid Mount Nitrogen Generator is designed to facilitate the Dry Pipe Nitrogen Inerting
(DPNI) process for controlling oxygen corrosion in dry pipe and preaction fire sprinkler systems with supervisory
nitrogen maintenance gas. The nitrogen generator can be used in cold storage/freezer applications due to
added benefit of ice plug mitigation. With plug and play performance in a typical dry pipe or preaction fire sprinkler
system, the nitrogen generator utilizes membrane separation technology that produces 98%+ nitrogen gas on
demand.
The ECS Nitrogen Generator supplies single or multiple sprinkler systems depending on the number of systems,
the volume of the largest system, and the cumulative volume of all systems being supplied. The generator includes
an integral air compressor and external bypass valve for maintenance or for "fast fill" needs to meet the NFPA 13
30-minute fill requirement for dry pipe and preaction fire protection systems. Cold storage application requirements
vary based on the temperature of refrigerated space - contact ECS for design assistance.
The ECS Nitrogen Generator is designed to inert the supervised sprinkler system within 14 days and then
automatically provide nitrogen gas for pressure maintenance. When paired with either the Protector Dry Manual
Vent (PAV-D) or the Protector Dry SMART Vent (PSV-D/DE) installed on the sprinkler riser, the nitrogen
generator facilitates the patented "fill and purge" breathing process to remove all the corrosive oxygen gas in
the sprinkler systems without the need for nitrogen storage.

    5. Connect Nitrogen generator output signals to BMS or fire alarm system, where applicable Step 1: Mounting the Skid The ECS Nitrogen Generator is designed to be mounted directly to the floor in the fire sprinkler riser room. Several factors should be considered in choosing the proper mounting location for the nitrogen generator: •...
  • Page 4 Step 3: Plumb the Nitrogen/Air Supply Line The nitrogen/air discharge plumbing from the ECS Protector Nitrogen Generator is to be connected directly to the sprinkler system valve trim using ½” to 1” black steel, galvanized steel, or copper piping. The size of the nitrogen/air supply line shall be based on both the length of pipe between the nitrogen generator and fire sprinkler systems and the total volume of fire sprinkler systems being supplied.
