Refrigerated Air Dyer
Inflate your tires with Dry Nitrogen. That simple task
alone can save you up to 30% and, maybe more, on your tire, fuel
and other operating costs each year.
Nitrogen-filled tires have been used on commercial and military
aircraft, NASCAR, Formula I and Indy racing cars, and space shuttle
transport vehicles for years because they are safer. Now, with larger
trucks, heavier loads and higher speeds, replacing compressed air
in tires with dry nitrogen from AirCel’s N2Cel system will improve
your bottom line by reducing downtime, and tire and fuel costs.

Inflating your truck
tires with
AirCel’s N2Cel Dry Nitrogen
has many benefits. |
|
Nitrogen runs cooler |
|
Tires on aircraft and race cars can run so hot that if they were filled with
air, they could actually catch on fire. That’s why, for many decades, military
aviation, commercial airlines and race car drivers have preferred
nitrogen-filled tires which run consistently 20% cooler than tires filled with
compressed air. Nitrogen is non-flammable and does not support combustion;
therefore, it becomes the safer choice by reducing the risk of excessive heat
build-up and possible tire failures. |
| |
|
Nitrogen-filled tires use less fuel. |
|
Everyone knows that properly inflated tires get better mileage. Tires filled
with nitrogen maintain a constant pressure far longer than tires filled with
compressed air. Since compressed air in a tire migrates outward through the tire
casing and tire body, tires filled with air can lose 12 psi in six months,
increasing rolling resistance and tire temperature, causing deterioration and
weakening as air passes through the tire. Oxygen migrates through the tire four
to six times faster than nitrogen. On the other hand, tires filled with nitrogen
will maintain their optimum pressure much longer, thus reducing tire failures.
Above all, tires that are properly inflated roll like they are supposed to roll
and can save 2% to 4% in fuel costs. That’s a lot, at today’s fuel prices. |

Nitrogen
reduces tire failures. |

The second highest expense next to fuel are tire repairs and replacement. Tire
failures are most commonly caused by under-inflation which accelerates
degradation of the tire casing. Truck tires are expensive, costing over $400
each. Research tells us that truck tires normally last 270,000 miles, including
two retreads. By inflating those tires with nitrogen instead of compressed air,
you can increase tire life by as much as 25% and allow those tires to be retread
multiple times. Increasing tire life to about 340,000 miles would save at least
$120 per tire, based on today’s prices. For example, if you have 50 trucks and
900 wheel positions, the savings could amount to over $108,000 a year. That’s a
significant amount. |

| Tests
with nitrogen-filled tires have further
confirmed that tire failures were
reduced by 80% and more! Consequently,
depending on the size of your fleet, you
could see a payback on an N2Cel Dry
Nitrogen Inflation System for your
terminal as soon as a couple of months. |

Nitrogen
maintains tire pressure better. |
 |
Oxygen in air is a
tire killer. Compressed air contains
78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. Oxygen in
compressed air is very aggressive and
reacts chemically with rubber causing it
to lose its elasticity and strength. |
|
Oxygen first consumes the tire liner, then ravages the insulating rubber as it
permeates through the entire casing. This deterioration is accelerated due to
the pressure difference between tire pressure and atmospheric pressure. In
testing, tires inflated with nitrogen lost only 2 psi in a six-month
period, whereas tires filled with compressed air lost six times
as much in the same period. Since nitrogen maintains tire pressure
much longer and will not react with rubber as oxygen does, tire
failure is cut dramatically. With more consistent tire pressure
and improved tire durability, handling for those larger loads is
better, too, making your drivers safer drivers. |
