Aug 25th at 1pm CST we’ll be discussing Nitrogen vs Air in refinishing. What are the benefits to the finish and savings to the shop.
After our recent visits in Australia on the PPG tour with Charley Hutton, we’re excited to discuss and learn more about Nitrogen. Reserve your spot today and join the discussion: http://www.planetReg.com/E8310341781. Representatives from NitroHeat will be on hand to take your questions.
Also, don’t miss us LIVE from SEMA this November with all the paint companies and some special viewer Q&A with Chip Foose from the 3M booth.
Repair University is a LIVE and FREE video streaming education series in Collision Repair.
your link didn’t work.
Well that would save on compressor Electricity/maintenance ,Air line filters and contamination in the Propelent supply(can’t call it air supply any more haha) downside is new storage tanks, high pressure regulators on the new storage tanks and Supply of nitrogen from local welding jobber.
then nots leave out that we cant breathe the stuff and new oxygen monitoring systems in the booth so we dont die lol
so its prolly not a good idea, but we will see how many people die from this in the future im sure cant wait to hear that in the news.[quote=”Wydir” post=21940]Well that would save on compressor Electricity/maintenance ,Air line filters and contamination in the Propelent supply(can’t call it air supply any more haha) downside is new storage tanks, high pressure regulators on the new storage tanks and Supply of nitrogen from local welding jobber.

I think most people are quite happy with compressed air as is.
I don’t see the point either,just an added expense to the paint shop :deadhorse
agreed. does sound like just another unneeded expense, but all i can think of that maybe a benefit of using it in the paint shop is it condenses at a much lower temp. perhaps 100% dry air?
Sounds like a bunch of hot air to me. (no pun intended) . Another marketing gimmic trying to soak a few bucks out of the shops. I dont see a big advantage here.
ya 100% dry air. they use nitrogen to fill race car tires. It would work, but is it really neccesary.
And wyder, if you are spray in a booth with air flow dont think there will be much issue of oxygen deprovation 😉Yes I do.
But we wont put an oxygen monitor in your booth ding :whistle:
it may be better I agree but there will be a higher expense unless it controlled correctly and monitored , what if the booth is off and your inside there is a leak it will be night night ding just like CO poisoning
heck only 750.00 per month what a deal :chair 37,500.00 total cost plus you need to buy filters twice a year
Granted this is way safer than what I originally thought
i have a air dryer on my compressor, moisture isnt a problem. Thats as close as 100% dry air for me. And i bet its a hell of alot cheaper than nitrogen.
