General
Description
The TYCO NG-1 1150, NG-1 1500, NG-1
2000, and NG-1 3000 Stand-Alone
Nitrogen Generators are designed to
facilitate the Dry Pipe Nitrogen Inerting
(DPNI) process for controlling oxygen
corrosion in dry and preaction fire
sprinkler systems, and provide super-
visory maintenance gas. Designed
for “plug and play” performance in a
typical dry or preaction fire sprinkler
system, the nitrogen generator utilizes
membrane separation technology that
produces 98%+ nitrogen on demand
without the need for nitrogen storage.
The Nitrogen Generator is an on-site
nitrogen generation system that
is designed to be installed in-line
between the compressed air supply
and the sprinkler system riser(s). The
system provides DPNI for single or mul-
tiple zones depending on:
the number of systems,
the volume of the largest system
the cumulative volume of all systems
being supplied
The generator includes an external
bypass valve for maintenance or for
fast fill” needs to meet the NATIONAL
FIRE PROTECTION AGENCY (NFPA) 13
30-minute fill requirement for dry pipe
and preaction fire protection systems.
The Nitrogen Generator is designed
to nitrogen inert all of the zones being
served within 14 days. Thereafter, it
will continue to automatically provide
supervisory nitrogen gas sufficient for
pressure maintenance of the fire sprin-
kler system(s).
The Nitrogen Generator facilitates the
patented “fill and purge” breathing
process in the fire sprinkler system
when paired with an oxygen removal
vent installed on the sprinkler riser such
as the TYCO Manual Air Vent (TAV-D)
or the TYCO Dry SMART Vent (TSV-D).
Refer to TFP1262 for more information
on TYCO Dry Air Vent (TAV-D), and to
TFP1263 for more information on TYCO
SMART Air Vent (TSV-D).

includes the following components:
Steel enclosure cabinet with mem-
brane type nitrogen generator (no

Overview

The TYCO NG-1 1150, NG-1 1500, NG-1 2000, and NG-1 3000 Stand-Alone Nitrogen Generators are designed to facilitate the Dry Pipe Nitrogen Inerting (DPNI) process for controlling oxygen corrosion in dry and preaction fire sprinkler systems, and to provide supervisory maintenance gas. These generators are engineered for "plug and play" performance in typical dry or preaction fire sprinkler systems, utilizing membrane separation technology to produce 98%+ nitrogen on demand, eliminating the need for nitrogen storage.

The Nitrogen Generator is an on-site nitrogen generation system designed for in-line installation between the compressed air supply and the sprinkler system riser(s). It provides DPNI for single or multiple zones, with sizing dependent on the number of systems, the volume of the largest system, and the cumulative volume of all systems being supplied. An external bypass valve is included for maintenance or "fast fill" needs, ensuring compliance with the NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION AGENCY (NFPA) 13 30-minute fill requirement for dry pipe and preaction fire protection systems. The generator is designed to nitrogen inert all served zones within 14 days, after which it automatically provides supervisory nitrogen gas for pressure maintenance. It facilitates the patented "fill and purge" breathing process when paired with an oxygen removal vent like the TYCO Manual Air Vent (TAV-D) or TYCO Dry SMART Vent (TSV-D).

The TYCO Nitrogen Generator unit includes a steel enclosure cabinet with a membrane-type nitrogen generator (no nitrogen gas storage) and a manual bypass. It operates on a 120 VAC/Single phase/60Hz or 230 VAC/Single phase/50Hz power supply. The unit features a single point nitrogen/air discharge (1/2 in. NPT), an Hour Run Meter, and a Cycle Counter.

System status indicators include a Bypass Mode Alarm (flashing indicator) when the generator is in bypass mode, and a Leak Monitoring Alarm (audible signal) if the generator runs excessively. Monitoring outputs include digital signals for Power On/Off, Bypass Mode Alarm, Nitrogen Generator Running, and Leak Monitoring, as well as an analog output for Nitrogen Supply Line Pressure.

The Nitrogen Generator is designed to be used with the TYCO AMD-1 Air Maintenance Device, the TYCO Handheld Gas Analyzer (THGA), and riser-mounted TYCO Dry Air Vent (TAV-D) or TYCO Dry SMART Vent (TSV-D) as part of a complete DPNI system. Optional equipment includes the TYCO Model TSGA SMART Gas Analyzer (one per generator recommended) and the TYCO Model TILD In-Line Corrosion Detector (at least one per sprinkler system recommended).

The TYCO NG1 Compressors are paired with the NG-1 1150, NG-1 1500, NG-1 2000, and NG-1 3000 Nitrogen Generators for DPNI in dry and preaction fire sprinkler systems, and for Wet Pipe Nitrogen Inerting (WPNI) in wet pipe sprinkler systems. The NG1 Air Compressors feature various horsepower options (5 hp for TNGC-1150, 7.5 hp for TNGC-1500/2000, and 10 hp for TNGC-3000) and air receiver tanks (60 gal/227 L vertical for Americas TNGC-1150, 80 gal/303 L vertical with after cooler for Americas TNGC-1500/2000, 120 gal/488 L vertical with after cooler for Americas TNGC-3000; 71 gal/270 L horizontal for EMEA/APAC models).

Usage Features:

  • Installation: Designed for direct floor and/or wall mounting. Considerations for mounting include access to power supply, air source, sprinkler riser, condensate drain, and ventilation clearance.
  • System Signals: Two system signals and five outputs for monitoring by BMS or fire alarm systems. These include Bypass Alarm (flashing amber light) and Leak Monitor (audible signal). Digital outputs for Power On/Off, Bypass Mode Alarm, Nitrogen Generator Running, and Leak Monitoring, plus an analog output for Nitrogen System Supply Line Pressure.
  • Compressor Installation: Simplex air compressors are floor-mounted in the fire sprinkler riser room. Considerations include access to power supply, nitrogen generator inlet, condensate drain, and servicing clearance. Vibration pads must be installed under compressor feet for warranty.
  • Plumbing: Nitrogen/air discharge plumbing connects directly to the sprinkler system valve trim using 1/2 in. to 1 in. black steel, galvanized steel, or copper piping. The size depends on pipe length and total system volume. An in-line Air Maintenance Device (AMD) with an adjustable pressure regulator is required for each zone.
  • Condensate Drain: The generator and compressor discharge condensate water, which should be plumbed to a floor drain or building exterior. An evaporative collection chamber can be used if a drain is not feasible. The compressor auto-drain requires an un-switched power source (120 VAC for Americas, 230 VAC for EMEA/APAC).

Maintenance Features:

  • Nitrogen Generators: The generator cabinet contains three separate cartridge filters. Annual preventative maintenance, including filter replacement, is recommended. In some environments, more frequent filter replacement may be necessary. Proper maintenance ensures the nitrogen separation membrane provides up to 20 years of service life.
  • Filter Replacement Procedure: Involves turning off power, closing inlet/outlet ball valves, opening bypass ball valve, depressurizing internal piping, removing filter housing, replacing cartridge, and reassembling. Filters 2 & 3 screw directly into the housing, while Filter 1 has a black retaining disc.
  • Water Separator Maintenance: The water separator housing should be removed, inspected, and cleaned as necessary during filter replacement.
  • Compressors: Maintenance should follow the manufacturer's recommended plan in the owner's manual. The Low Oil Level Sensor automatically shuts down the compressor until proper oil level is restored.
  • General Maintenance: Inspection, testing, and maintenance must be performed according to NFPA requirements. The owner is responsible for maintaining the fire protection system and devices in proper operating condition.
