LCN-600 Nitrogen Generator for New Energy Applications

Background of Nitrogen Generators for New Energy Applications

In recent years, with the increasing prominence of issues such as energy shortages and environmental pollution, the call for energy conservation and emission reduction has grown louder, and the global "carbon neutrality" process has been accelerating. The replacement of fuel-powered vehicles by new energy vehicles has become an inevitable trend. The rapid development of new energy vehicles has driven the lithium battery industry into an unprecedented period of major development opportunities. As an important component of the new energy industry, developing the lithium battery industry is one of China's measures to promote energy transformation and achieve the "dual carbon" goals.

System Composition of Nitrogen Generators for New Energy Applications

The nitrogen generator for new energy applications primarily consists of a nitrogen production system that uses air as the raw material and includes equipment such as an air compressor, air buffer tank, refrigerated dryer, precision filter, pressure swing adsorption nitrogen generator, and nitrogen buffer tank. The air compressor serves as the source of compressed air required for the nitrogen generation system. The compressed air output by the air compressor is first treated by the refrigerated dryer to remove oil and water, then buffered by the air buffer tank, and finally processed by the pressure swing adsorption nitrogen generator to produce nitrogen with a purity of ≥98%.

Role of Nitrogen Generators in New Energy Battery Manufacturing

The production process of new energy batteries includes steps such as battery material production, slurry mixing, coating, drying, slitting, cell winding, battery assembly, electrolyte filling, and formation.

In the production process of new energy batteries, lithium batteries, and other power batteries, due to the large size of the batteries, baking is required before filling the battery slurry. At this stage, a nitrogen generator is needed to introduce nitrogen during baking. This helps remove the vacuum inside the oven, preventing high-temperature oxidation during production, accelerating the cooling process, and enhancing cooling efficiency. Additionally, nitrogen acts as a protective gas, and its introduction helps remove substances such as oxygen and water vapor from the solution, preventing oxygen from participating in electrode reactions and maintaining the stability of the electrolyte. Furthermore, during the welding process of lithium batteries, high welding temperatures can cause the aluminum shell to turn black or yellow. Using a nitrogen generator specifically designed for the lithium battery industry ensures proper activation of the flux, reduces residual flux, improves welding quality, and results in a more aesthetically pleasing weld surface. The nitrogen generator for the lithium battery industry manufactured by Hangzhou Lecheng Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. offers the advantage of producing high-purity nitrogen in a single step, with nitrogen purity adjustable between 99.99% and 99.9995%. For higher requirements, a purification device can be customized.

The nitrogen generators produced by Hangzhou Lecheng Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. for the lithium battery and other power battery industries feature stable performance, simple operation, easy maintenance, advanced control systems, and a high degree of automation. These nitrogen generators can operate unmanned, effectively reducing user costs. The entire system runs reliably, ensuring stable continuous production, consistent nitrogen output, and stable purity quality.
