The Sibsport Nitrogen Tyre Inflator is a revolutionary, compact
handheld nitrogen gas generator that produces moisture free
nitrogen gas from compressed air provided by a normal air
compressor.
This
product offers a cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative
to traditional gas supplies such as cylinders, and is currently
being used by leading BTCC and GT racing teams, this technology
is also used extensively in F1.

Ease of use
Our Nitrogen tyre inflators can be connected to any compressor
and automatically generate nitrogen from compressed air: simple
and, above all, inexpensive.

The
technology - hollow fibre membrane
Hollow fibres are like tiny plastic straws. A tube (module)
contains thousands of these straws. The space between the
ends is glued. Therefore when you pass compressed air through
the module, the air is forced inside the fibres. The plastic
fibres behave in such a way that their walls ‘like’ the oxygen
(O2) and water (H2O) molecules much better than the nitrogen
(N2) molecules. The fibres let the O2 and H2O molecules pass
through the wall more easily than the N2 molecules. The H2O
and O2 molecules can pass through the fibre wall and they
leave the module. However, the N2 molecules stay inside the
fibre and will be pushed out of the opposite glued end.
