What is Nitrogen Gas Used For?

Nitrogen is used within many industries for items that people come across every single day. Below are but a few of the possible applications for nitrogen gas:

• Food packaging – As a modified atmosphere, pure or mixed with carbon dioxide, to preserve the freshness of packaged or bulk foods (by delaying rancidity and other forms of oxidative damage). Pure nitrogen as a food additive is labelled in the European Union with the E number E941.
• Lighting – Nitrogen gas is used in ordinary incandescent light bulbs as an inexpensive alternative to argon.
• Motorsports and Aircraft Tires – Nitrogen gas cylinders are essential in the motorsport and aviation industries. The gas is used for filling automotive and aircraft tires due to its inertness and lack of moisture or oxidative qualities, as opposed to air. The difference in N2 content between air and pure N2 is 20%.
• Wine Preservation – Nitrogen is used as a propellant for draft wine and as an alternative to or together with carbon dioxide for other beverages. Nitrogen bottles are also replacing carbon dioxide as the primary power source for paintball guns. Nitrogen gas must be kept at a higher pressure than CO2 gas bottles, making N2 tanks heavier and more expensive.
• Air Conditioning – Suppliers and installers use the gas within air conditioning systems throughout the UK. It is also present in refrigeration units.
