[SBE] Nitrogen

[Fluker, Steve (CXR-Orlando)]

Nitrogen in car tires is good.  I have it in my tires.  It's supposed to
increase your mileage, increase the life of the tires, and make the
tires safer.  I did see a slight increase in mileage using the car
feature that gives me my average mileage.  

 

Check around, we have a Ford dealer in town that will fill your tires
with nitrogen for free.  Of course that gets you to bring your car into
their service department.  I've seen a couple of tire stores that will
do it for about $ 10 per tire.

There are advantages to using nitrogen. I looked into the reason why
Hyundai uses it in all their vehicles' tires (on rubber parts). It makes
lots of sense. 

 

Whether cost effective or not is another question.

There is a restaurant near one of my towers which gets CO2 for the soda
machine delivered in liquid form.  They have a cryogenic tank and gas
generator next to the road.  So if a pizza place can do this with CO2,
there should be off the shelf hardware available for storing liquid N2
and turning it into gas as needed that would work for transmitter
engineers.  The semiconductor industry goes through a lot of nitrogen
and other gasses.  This is how they do it.  But it's probably cheaper
just to plug in a dehydrator and use dry air.
