- NG-2 models feature new HMI touchscreen and a suite of digital tools to allow both installation and operation to be faster, easier and smarter
- “Plug and play” setup and a simplified installation process help reduce the need for extensive training
- NG-2 models achieve 98% nitrogen purity to dependably manage corrosion and extend sprinkler system life
Johnson Controls, the global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, announces today the launch of the new Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator. Available in stand-alone or wall-mounted models, the NG-2 Nitrogen Generator is engineered to replace the oxygen inside a sprinkler system with nitrogen, helping stop pipe corrosion and extend the life of dry pipe and pre-action fire sprinkler systems. It leverages a combination of enhanced data management and simplified controls to allow for faster, easier and smarter installation and operation.
“These next-generation NG-2 designs harness today’s smart technology to empower installers and operators with unmatched control and data,” said Beth Bjorlo, product management director, Fire Suppression Products at Johnson Controls. “The suite of onboard digital tools is designed to simplify installation and maintenance and help make corrosion management more efficient without the need for extensive training.”
Johnson Controls optimized the Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator with an internal redesign, expanded capacity and a suite of both new and enhanced features while maintaining the core advantages of the legacy model (NG-1). The core of these updates is the interactive human-machine interface (HMI) touchscreen display. It serves as a single point of access to view and manage operations, maintenance and diagnostic insights.
With real-time information at their fingertips, users can perform regular operation tasks, alarm management, pressure readings and maintenance scheduling with ease, while also viewing historical data and quickly performing tasks like installation, setup and condensate management.
The Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generator features a more efficient and robust internal design that allows for faster installation and minimizes connections in the cabinet to reduce complexity and maintenance. It has a total system capacity of up to 6,500 gallons (24,605 litres) and uses a new Tyco oxygen removal vent controller that monitors and controls the venting process for two or six dry pipe and pre-action sprinkler systems. With a wet pipe air vent and nitrogen inerting vent kit, the generator features a unique “fill and purge” breathing method that removes corrosive oxygen and introduces 98% purity nitrogen throughout the entire fire sprinkler system. In addition to corrosion control benefits, the generator design allows for oxygen removal vent installation directly on the riser for faster, easier installation. It also eliminates the need for a nitrogen tank and reduces the overall equipment footprint.
By greatly reducing corrosion risk in sprinkler systems, the NG-2 helps extend the useful life of fire sprinkler systems, minimizes business interruption and enhances long-term ROI. It joins the broad Johnson Controls portfolio of fire sprinklers, valves, fire grooved and other fire sprinkler system products. The NG-2 is ideal for a variety of facilities, including data centers, cold storage facilities, warehouses, museums, parking structures, mission-critical manufacturing, healthcare buildings, stadiums and libraries. Tyco NG-2 Nitrogen Generators are FM approved, CE certified and UL 508A listed.
