Filling tires with nitrogen from car tires to truck tires

Nitrogen is the standard filling medium for tires used under extreme conditions, such as in aviation and motorsports. However, these beneficial properties are also valuable for vehicles in less demanding conditions. Both passenger cars and vehicles with various tire sizes can benefit from safer, more cost-efficient, and environmentally friendly driving with nitrogen-filled tires.

Avilo is a total supplier for tire and transport companies, providing individual generators as well as complete nitrogen systems, including installation and maintenance of compressors, tanks, and condensate treatment. In this blog, you will learn more about the benefits of using nitrogen in tires, the technical aspects of nitrogen systems, and how they contribute to improved safety, efficiency, and environmental considerations in various vehicle applications.

Why use nitrogen in car tires?

Too many cars have low tire pressure, leading to higher fuel consumption, faster tire wear, and a negative impact on the environment. Using nitrogen in car tires can help mitigate these issues. Nitrogen maintains tire pressure longer, resulting in lower fuel consumption and less wear. This extends the life of the tires and reduces environmental impact.

Benefits of nitrogen in car tires

The effectiveness of nitrogen in car tires lies in its unique properties that contribute to more stable tire pressure. Unlike air, which can expand over time due to the presence of moisture and other gases, nitrogen remains more stable and maintains a more consistent tire pressure. This helps reduce temperature variations within the tire while driving, improving overall tire performance and lifespan. Additionally, using nitrogen can reduce the risk of corrosion and aging of the tire, which is especially beneficial for vehicles that remain stationary for long periods or are subjected to heavy loads.

Improved truck tires with nitrogen

Nitrogen helps maintain tire pressure longer, leading to less wear on the tires. This is particularly beneficial for truck tires that are often recycled through retreading. Nitrogen is frequently used as a filling medium for truck tires because its benefits contribute to safety, reliability, and performance. The effectiveness of nitrogen in truck tires lies in its chemical properties that ensure stable tire pressure over longer periods. Due to the larger molecule size of nitrogen compared to oxygen, it escapes more slowly through the rubber of the tire, resulting in less pressure loss. This is crucial for heavy trucks that regularly travel long distances and carry heavy loads.

Furthermore, nitrogen exhibits fewer temperature-dependent pressure variations compared to air, maintaining a more consistent tire temperature during extended journeys. This not only enhances overall tire performance but also extends tire life. Additionally, nitrogen contains no moisture, reducing the risk of internal tire corrosion, especially for trucks frequently exposed to wet conditions.

Safety and reliability

In terms of safety, nitrogen-filled tires offer a more reliable alternative to air. They maintain stable pressure and reduce the likelihood of sudden pressure changes, contributing to increased road safety. This is particularly crucial for trucks transporting valuable cargo and frequently operating under harsh conditions.

Avilo's nitrogen generators for tires

Avilo provides various types of nitrogen generators for tire filling, tailored to the needs of diverse vehicle applications. The generators vary in capacity and size, suitable for both passenger cars and heavy trucks.

Some of the key tire generators in the range include:

• Tyregas 3-3 Tire Generator

This generator can fill three tires simultaneously, making it ideal for small to medium-sized vehicles. Benefits include compact design and easy installation on existing compressed air systems. The system can be easily wall-mounted or placed on a stand, requiring minimal space.

• Tyregas 4-1 Tire Generator

This generator can fill four tires at once, perfect for medium to larger vehicles. It provides an efficient solution for businesses with higher demand for nitrogen-filled tires. Like the Tyregas 3-3, this generator is easy to install and maintain.

Specially designed for truck tires, this generator can fill up to 23 tires. It is an excellent choice for truck fleets and transport companies. The generator offers the advantages of stable tire pressure, longer tire life, and reduced corrosion risk.
