What are the benefits of Desiccant dry cabinets over Nitrogen?
Desiccant cabinets have lower running cost. You can see a simple cost analysis here. N2 is void of all oxygen, it is unable to absorb O2, and as a result it is a less effective than desiccant when used as a drying agent. It is typically used under positive pressure to continually displace the oxygen within the cabinet. X Dry cabinets are portable with casters, and do not require plumbing, so they can be moved to a new location whenever required. X Dry cabinets will maintain their internal environment for extended periods (10-+24 Hrs) during power down situations, continuing to protect your components. Nitrogen cabinets use a constant positive pressure flow to void the cabinets of all O2; this nitrogen flows out into the production facility, reducing the oxygen density in the area, potentially causing discomfort to staff.
