Prior to the Generators, we bought tanks of N2. As long as you have an air compressor that can supply the generator, it's pretty much maintenance free. You change filters every year. In almost 15 years, other than changing filters, we've had to r

Tell us more ... Have you checked the density of your flux? How old is the flux? Is this a spray or a foam fluxer? What type of maintenance is being done? Do you get good hole fill with the the tank pressure of 130 on other boards?

Our nitrogen generator and an air drying unit came with the selective solder machine when it was purchased new in 2008 as a package deal. We originally were feeding the system with air that was not properly dried. That lead to some maintenance cost

Per our selective solder provider, they recommend a PSA type generator to supply the needed 99.999% pure N2. The membrane type (which we have) does not provide the minimum (99.995%) purity necessary for lead free wave soldering. They happen to sell P
