Guest racingchester Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Qustion Frank - Tires seem to loose air over time. Whats the cost to keep the pressure up? Thanks Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sidewinder Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Qustion Frank - Tires seem to loose air over time. Whats the cost to keep the pressure up? Thanks ChuckMy degree in Chemical Engineering has finally come in handy. Nitrogen is an inert or slow-moving gas that has no moisture. The gas has larger molecules than oxygen. These two facts combine to make nitrogen more efficient for use in automobile and other tires. Oxygen's smaller molecules seep out of tires more easily, causing a gradual loss of pressure. Nitrogen avoids this problem, creating a constant tire pressure. This fill is perfect for your daily driver. We have been using Nitrogen in aircraft tires since I can remember. I would like to get the Titans tires filled Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P51tj Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Is that a "B.S." degree in chemical engineering? I like it not only in the tires but also fun to inhale, it makes your voice squeeky... oh no wait that's helium. I guess my degree is in other "gases". I guess it may be time to replace the pnuematic fluid in Sunnie's shoes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrogen is about .5 to .8 per month.Nitrogen is becoming very popular with the cost of fuel and tires.A 5% per mile fuel increase and a 20% better tire life would add up to a great savings.Properly inflated tires last longer. Also in Phoenix's Climate Nitrogen expands less.On a 110 Degree day traveling at 70 MPH your tires can increase in pressure by up to 10 Lbs depending on the water that is in your compressed air.Nitrogen is a Dry gas, and expands less. About 4 PSI on a hot day.This keeps the tire contact on the surface of the road.If you would like to review more info go to www.PurigeN98.comThank You for your interest in Nitrogen Tire Inflation.Frank RuscittiPurigeN98Southwest Marine Products & Supplies of AZ602-677-1544 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Let me understand, you shouldn't loose pressure with nitrogen? If you do how do you bring it back to correct pressure? Example would be I develop a slow leak from a nail, valve stem, etc. Do I have to go back to SW Marine or another dealer. Do places like Discount have nitrogen to refill after a tire repair? Just curious???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swmarine Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 September 21, 2005 When we first saw the N2Revolution PR frenzy, we were disappointed that the hype focuses so much on the downside of poorly inflated tyres (which don?t need nitrogen to remedy the situation) and not so much on the actual benefits of the system. Launched in Florida last week, the company?s flagship tyre inflation solution, the PurigeN98, uses 98% nitrogen to inflate tyres instead of air (78% nitrogen, 20% oxygen), and the basic idea is that if everyone used nitrogen instead of air in their car tyres, the world would be a cleaner, better place, with less petrol, oil and tyre consumption and hence less pollution. That?s true and the more we looked into it, the more using nitrogen makes sense. But will it save anybody any money? Anybody who has ever had anything to do with Motorsport knows what a difference a few pounds per square inch (psi) can make to tyre temperatures, wear, performance and the amount of time it takes to complete a given distance. Logically, if it makes such a difference over your average 10 lap car club dash, it can make a lot more difference over the life of a tyre on the road, ? and it does.Every car/tyre combination has an optimum range for tyre inflation pressures and according to the US Federal Department of Transportation, roughly 80% of all vehicles in the United States have under-inflated tyres. Indeed, the vast majority of vehicle owners do not know what their optimum tyre inflation figure is, so it follows that the vast majority of the cars on the road have incorrect tyre pressures. The actual figures are scarey ? given how many of us die on the roads, we?re still negligent in critical safety precautions such as ensuring our tyres can safely transport us, our children and our friends and that we can safely control a lump of metal weighing a ton or more travelling at speed amongst our extended family. Now through valve leakage and seepage, tyres inflated with air drop roughly 2 psi per month ? so it?s not a set and forget thing. If you don?t actively maintain your tyres at the optimum pressures, they will eventually deflate and you?ll pay in many ways.Incorrectly inflated tires are the leading cause of tyre failure and can adversely affect braking, handling and steering ? that makes sense ? no matter how good the car is, it is only as good as the tyres which transmit its motive forces to the tarmac.As a rough rule of thumb, if your tyres are 20% below the optimum, you?ll reduce your tyre life by up to 50% and the additional rolling resistance can add 10% or more to your fuel consumption. Across the life of a tyre, that?s a massive financial penalty on the driver and it?s no wonder that the U.S. Department of Energy reports that the national US fleet burns 4 million gallons of gasoline unnecessarily every day due to low tire pressure.So how will filling your tyres with nitrogen make any difference?Firstly, nitrogen does not leak from tyres as readily as air. There are many factors involved in this but bottom line is that it will retain its pressure much better and without oxygen in the mix, won?t expand as much when heat is added, maintaining the optimum tyre pressure and tyre temperature far better.That?s why nitrogen is used in by Formula One and NASCAR teams, in heavy-duty commercial off road equipment and by commercial and military aircraft. When you?re landing an airplane or hitting the apex of a racetrack turn at 200mph, it?s nice to know your tyres are correctly inflated. Secondly, oxygen is corrosive. It reacts with the rims in tubeless wheels (the vast majority), whether they?re made of steel or aluminium, and this results in a fine powder of rust or aluminium oxide inside the tyre which also jams in the valve seat every time you check your tyre pressures ? which further degrades the entire system and adds to the pressure seepage.Thirdly, the N2Revolution system is purpose designed to overcome all these problems. Apart from taking the oxygen out of the air used to inflate your tyres, it also removes the moisture. Water and oxygen and heat combined significantly increase oxidation of the wheel rims an accelerate the aforementioned build-up of powder in the tyres. Most service stations give their air away free and hence pay no attention to maintaining their compressed air systems correctly, so that?s where the moisture will come from.Copied from GizmagNitrogen is becoming more available everyday.Costco offers it to every customer who purchases tires from them.Local Dealers in Phoenix are setting up For Nitrogen in there shops.INdependent auto repair shops are looking at offering Nitrogen Inflation.Yes, you have to add PSI at times but a small amount of clean compressed air will not affect the Fill.If you get a nail in tire then you would have to have it filled with nitrogen.Nitrogen in tires is New to the Public but has been around along time.Remember 5years ago when someone said that you would be paying a buck for water or $5 for a cup of coffee.What does a set of tire for your Vette Cost $1100?If you could increase tire life 5% that is $55.00Any questions please call me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
