Compressed Nitrous Oxide โ liquefied under pressure, supplied with care
Compressed Nitrous Oxide from REAL GAZ is held in cylinders at its vapour pressure, where most of the contents are liquid, so one cylinder can store far more gas than an equal volume of ordinary compressed gas.
Withdrawal cools the cylinder, and so flow rate, cylinder temperature and regulator choice all matter for steady performance.
Withdrawal cools the cylinder, and so flow rate, cylinder temperature and regulator choice all matter for steady performance.
Packaging follows ISO 9809, ADR Class 2.2 with 5.1 subsidiary hazard for oxidising gases and EN 1089-3, for industrial and technical buyers.
The phrase compressed nitrous oxide is slightly misleading, because the gas is actually liquefied by its own pressure at ambient temperature. A cylinder at 20 ยฐC holds vapour at about 50 bar, and the pressure rises steeply if the cylinder warms, so it should never be left in a closed vehicle or near radiators. The critical temperature is 36.4 ยฐC, above which no liquid can exist, and overfilled or overheated cylinders may therefore become dangerous.
๐ญ Where Nitrous Oxide Is Used
- โ๏ธ Gas-phase process feeds โ manifolds draw vapour continuously for deposition and oxidation steps;
- ๐ฌ Burner systems โ laboratory and pilot burners use controlled NโO flow for high-temperature flames;
- ๐ฅ Aerosol filling โ licensed fillers use food-grade NโO as a propellant for food products;
- ๐ Equipment testing โ test benches validate valves, regulators and flow meters in nitrous oxide service.
๐ก Why Choose REAL GAZ
- โ High storage density โ liquid storage reduces cylinder changes;
- ๐งช Flow advice โ we explain how withdrawal rate affects cooling and pressure drop;
- ๐ฏ Cylinder warming options โ water-bath or heater arrangements keep flow constant at high rates;
- ๐ Clear net weight โ labels simplify stock keeping;
- ๐ Certificate of Analysis (CoA) โ supplied with every order.
๐ฌ Quality Control & Safety
- filling strictly by weight within regulated limits;
- dryness checks to protect valve seats;
- pressure and temperature verification;
- external cleaning and labelling.
Cylinders comply with ADR / UN transport rules and relevant EN/ISO standards.
โ๏ธ Trusted Gas Solutions
REAL GAZ supplies Compressed Nitrous Oxide with practical safety advice to plants and laboratories in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia, Uzbekistan and the USA. As an oxidiser it intensifies fires, so keep it away from oils, and do not use it where it could be inhaled.
For vapour withdrawal, keep the cylinder upright. For continuous use above a few litres per minute, fit a heated regulator, or draw from two cylinders alternately to avoid freezing. Pipework should be stainless steel or copper with compatible seals, protected by a pressure relief device and leak-checked at working pressure.
