Basics
- This page aims to lay out the current state of the knowledge base on the performance of Dry Nitrogen vs Dry Compressed Air (NOT wet/oil mist filled [[Compressed Air, re: Dry vs “Wet” Compressed Air ) and if need be, plan/conduct further research on this
- ”Dry Nitrogen Fill” is a bit of a gimmick, but there may be some truth to it is the main “gist” of this page
Internal Links
- Argon vs Carbon Dioxide vs Nitrogen
- For systems such as Fuel Inerting , Gas Springs (ESPECIALLY Pneumatic Valve Springs ) , Welding , or anything else requiring an Inert Gas are the differences important?
- At the high temperatures+energy of Welding, CO2 can dissociate (which is in part why it can “cut through” rust/Mill Scale and such)
- For systems such as Fuel Inerting , Gas Springs (ESPECIALLY Pneumatic Valve Springs ) , Welding , or anything else requiring an Inert Gas are the differences important?
