All Heating, cooling, and refrigerationtechnicians use nitrogen. Nitrogen is a noble gas and prevents copper pipes from oxidizing while brazing. It is also used to check systems for leaks. Leak testing with nitrogen can save loss of expensive refrigerant which is illegal to vent to the atmosphere. It's all so a dry gas containing almost no moisture so it can help to purge moisture from system that contains moisture. That being said, nitrogen can not be used in a operational systems. Home AC systems and refrigeration systems can not use nitrogen to cool. It will damage the compressor. Also onlylicensed techs should work on AC systems.

During nitrogen fixation nitrogen gas is converted into a form that what can use?

During nitrogen fixation, nitrogen gas is converted into ammonia or other forms of usable nitrogen by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. This process is important because plants and other organisms cannot use atmospheric nitrogen directly in this form.


What is the process by which bacteria use enzymes to convert nitrogen into ammonia called?

the answer is "nitrogen fixation" because nitrogen fixation is The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into compounds, such as ammonia, by natural agencies or various industrial processes.Read more: nitrogen-fixation


What do we do with the nitrogen we breath?

When we breathe in air, about 78% of it is nitrogen. Our bodies do not use this nitrogen, so when we exhale, the nitrogen is released back into the atmosphere unchanged.


If nitrogen in the atmosphere is not in a form plants can use how do they get nitrogen what is this process called?

Plants obtain nitrogen through a process called nitrogen fixation, where certain bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, such as ammonia. This can occur naturally in soil or through symbiotic relationships with certain plants like legumes.


What is an example of the nitrogen cycle?

An example of the nitrogen cycle is when nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is converted by bacteria into a form that plants can absorb from the soil. Plants then use this nitrogen to grow. When plants and animals die, decomposers break down their organic matter, releasing nitrogen back into the soil for plants to use again.
