Nitrogen viable alternative to compressed air for tyre inflation
(Article taken from CAPS )
13/06/2008- Compressed nitrogen is becoming an increasingly popular medium for inflating tyres. A close look at nitrogen reveals why the gas is in demand as an alternative to compressed air.
There are several benefits in using pure nitrogen to inflate tyres on passenger cars, light commercial vehicles and large trucks. Oxygen diffuses much more quickly through the tyre than nitrogen does under the same pressurised system. A nitrogen inflated tyre will maintain the recommended pressure within the tyre for longer than one filled with air. Therefore, drivers do not have to check the tyre pressure as regularly and the probability of driving a vehicle with under pressurised tyres is reduced.
Nitrogen will also extend the life of the tyre by up to 25% according to practical examples of truck fleets using nitrogen rather than compressed air. Because nitrogen can maintain the correct pressure within the tyre for longer it diminishes wear and tear. Uneven wear across the tyre profile is decreased as are rim corrosion, rubber deterioration by oxidation and over heating.
The extended life of the tyre also results in economic benefits. Fleet truck operators do not have to change the tyres as regularly, benefiting from potential savings. And needless to say, the larger the tyre and the bigger the fleet, the greater the savings.
The use of nitrogen in tyres can also improve the fuel consumption of the vehicle or truck. Tyres that are under pressure have a higher tyre deflection on the road, which in addition to sluggish handling, result in higher fuel consumption
