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 , 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 , Welding , or anything else requiring an Inert Gas are the differences important?

- A Reddit Post asking the Question
- (Potential) Answers Mentioned:
- Less change in Tire Pressure under different thermal conditions
- Easier Modeling for Model Driven Design (especially in the context of Motorsports)
- Cost efficiency/ease of access of (Mostly) Pure Nitrogen in Gas Canisters
- They pointed out that compared to Oxygen or Argon / Xenon etc, it is a bit less valuable of a product
- Also the obvious cost, especially for VERY dry, in Drying Compressed Air
