Nitrogen-Filled Tires Can Improve Road Safety

CLEVELAND, OH – Parker Hannifin Process Air and Gas believe filling a truck’s tires using the latest nitrogen generation technology can improve the safety of vehicles, while also reducing operating costs, according to the Web site www.gasworld.com.
Nitrogen-filled tires are a familiar part of the aviation and motor sport arenas, and differ from those currently used on HGV’s as the larger nitrogen molecules find it more difficult to escape than the oxygen used in the current 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen mixture, which leaks easily. However until recently, it has not been cost effective for commercial vehicle operators to consider this option.
Parker Hannifin believes that their latest generation technology, such as their TyreSaver range, overcomes this obstacle by utilizing hollow fiber membranes to split a concentrated air supply into two separate streams of nitrogen and oxygen. This removes the need to have large nitrogen storage tanks on-site, a requirement that is not viable for the majority of fleet operators.
Parker Hannifin quotes the dimensions of its nitrogen generation devices as being ‘extremely compact’ and add that they can be quickly installed and used virtually anywhere. Furthermore, the latest systems require significantly less air pressure than many previous methods of nitrogen separation, eliminating the need for expensive compressor upgrades or heaters.
