Is this actually nitrogen?
Oxarc is good supply place. I just say what i want and pay. No need to put out ur biz to anyone?
weve got nitrogen generators for sale. CUstomized to your specs and our industry. www.aBHOutit.com
I need to fill a 320 cubic ft tank every once and awhile. How much is that gonna run me?
I dunno why but my last nitrogen tank was black and the new one is tan or grey
No reason to buy the little disposables tanks if N2. The gas is the cheapest gas there is. Only 17 liters in that little cylinder - Just over half a ft3.
I got a large system and if using n2 to pressure test it uses quite a bit. you need more than a tiny tank.

Either way, don’t buy it. There’s absolutely no reason you need this type of nitrogen, and it looks small as shit. Seriously, there’s nothing worse than running out of nitrogen. Well, there are a lot of things worse, but it’s annoying as shit.

Visit your local welding supply

Ask to buy or rent a tank. I bought mine for not far north of 150.
-
Ask to buy a N2 regulator. Outfit it with the connections you need to link up with your system (I use a swagelok QC body)

Refill when empty. I spend like 20-30 bucks for a smaller tank. I spent like 150 on the tank

That’s right, and why you don’t want to buy the smallest tank they have, let alone this thing. Buy a big fucking tank, and get a hand cart. Filling up my system will zero a tank real fast, even if it’s a big one.
last run I ran out of nitro push and i learned the hot loop and it worked well

Hot loop? You mean using gas vapor?
My corken lets me recycle my nitrogen pressure. Fucking love a vapor loop.
That said, my personal system is passive. I’m limp dick in deep water without my nitro.
hot loop to my understanding. you pull out the collection via pump and move that through a chiller coil to condense back into the tank and then reuse it. All simultaneus. the pump is making a vac in the collection and pulling in the gas thats soaked in the material column thats all i needed the nitrogen for is to push the gas. What had also happened is Im short on gas, so I was able to run it 2x on the same tank. I like a 10 to 1 ratio. So the pump puts out quite a bit of pressure. The coil condensed the gas and it flowed into a cold tank and then back into the whole thing through a coil and thats hot loop? I had lots of dry ice- thats what fucks me up is running out of that.
If you run the hot vapor through a chilling coil, you ain’t using a “hot loop”. You’re just “running active”.
Hot loop involves using the pressure of the hot vapor to get shit moved…
Eg suck on collection and route vapor to top of column to drive contents into collection (and you’re pushing AND pulling in that example).

I feel like “vapor loop” is more accurate for what’s described here. I, for instance, will use the N2 and solvent pressure I pull out of one column to help fill the next with solvent
A “hot loop” sounds a lot more like bypassing my condensing coils, and using the 200F outlet of my corken to help warm up biomass in my columns and get back additional solvent.

Don’t think thumps is reusing an N2 charge. Was explicitly clarifying for his use case(s). Aka “hot loop” as you’ve described. Which he may or may not have performed.
“Vapor loop” works for me. although it contains no explicit reference to recycling an N2 charge, which is a very important part to get across.
Slightly different trick, still using recycled N2; referred to a “cold loop” when we were pulling the N2 from the solvent tank head space to clear columns.

Yo @Bharris what are “Bhoxes”? I read the quick description but can you give more details? I wouldn’t mind trying something other than pizza boxes lol

I was confused. I didnt plan on any of it but I did the active loop thing and then there was a ton of liquid caught in my frosted up tube so I did the hot loop thing and it did push it out into my collection I should take notes.
they’re "BHO"xes… get with it! jkjk. BHOxes are a product line we’re bringing to market adapted from the bioscience/pharmaceutical industry. Insulated boxes with cheap temp sensors showing the high/low temps the box(and in theory the medicine within) has been subjected to… Extra rigidity or bulk production/storage, and some other neat features implemented for dealing with slabs without breaking corners, etc etc. Can’t give away all the little features on here yet, and full production is like 60 days out…
but BHOxes are essentially a custom designed box designed for thes pecific application of dealing with slabs. THey’re not exactly as cheap as a pizza box… but for $5-$8… as opppose to $.50… you easily realize the ROI first time you don’t snap off a corner of a slab trying to count the number of sheets in the box… Or you don’t have to accept a return order from some customer on the front because he says it got nucleated and is blaming it on your oil… and not admitting ot leaving it in his trunk in the sun for 3 days.
