CGT Saves World Renowned Refrigerator Manufacturer Thousands Through Use of Nitrogen Generators

Recently Compressed Gas Technologies worked with one of the world’s largest manufacturers of refrigerators  (Whirlpool) to find ways to reduce their nitrogen consumption.

After a meeting with the staff and a thorough review all of the processes that utilized nitrogen throughout the plant was implemented, CGT was able to find ways for Whirlpool to save a significant amount of money in regards to their nitrogen consumption.

We are able to eliminate areas where nitrogen was being misapplied.  Reduced weekly consumption by over 30,000 cf with a yearly savings of $17,000. By eliminating the inefficient high pressure nitrogen system that was no longer needed for laser cutting, reducing the nitrogen consumption by 50%. Estimated savings were $50,000.
And we also recommended the installation of a nitrogen generator with a high pressure booster, with 100% redundancy, for pressure testing of coils. This would eliminate the need for bulk liquid nitrogen. The payback is expected to take less than 2 years. The changes made in the plant were very small but the financial rewards were huge.

Benefits of Nitrogen Generators

Nitrogen generators are your best bet for a cost efficient on-site alternative to delivered gas cylinders. Nitrogen generators are very dependable and create clean dry nitrogen from a compressed air source.

Nitrogen generators are avaible in different models and sizes that offer various features and benefits depending on the application your business requires.

Below are a few advantages that nitrogen generators can offer to a business:

• Plug and play operation
• Some models have no operator interface
• Models with on-board diagnostics capable of relaying real time information back to a main control room are available
• Simple maintenance (semi-annual filter changes) to prevent generator damage.

Nitrogen generators can take your business in a whole new direction by making day-to-day processes more reliable and ultimately helping you reduce your cost of goods/overhead costs for your business in the long run (i.e. rental charges, transportation expenses, labor costs, and evaporation losses of bulk systems).
