Custom Night Vision | Nitrogen Purge

[@alexduke5402]

I can't believe I'm doing this. You drive a tough bargain man, I'll come up to 2 pb&j sandwiches, Doritos, and a cool aid. But no way I can do anymore than that!

Very cool. When I learned how to install my own HVAC units I learned about the triple evac method for the line sets. I couldnt get nitrogen and a regulator my first go round so I used Co2. It did fine but nitrogen would have been preferable. Then the filter system here is awesome. I just hope we make the great leap to digital night vision soon and you all can keep using these skills to move NVG technology into the current century. You definitely have the customer service aspect nailed out of the park.

Thank you sir.

Interesting vid. Cheers.

[@customnightvision]

Thanks 👍

Love your channel! Hopefully I’ll have some experience with your business one day

[@JustCallMeKoko]

Do you offer a service to purge self-assembled night vision units? If someone were to build a BNVD for example using parts purchased from your shop, could they send the unit in at some point to be purged? If so, how much would the service cost?

[@kevin11288]

Yeah we can, you would probably want to have it collimated also.

I have AVS-01K Night Vision Goggles. May I know the right Nitrogen charging adapter for this

[@customnightvision]

not familiar with that device.

[@clayhughes3263]

With that background music playing, I can't tell if it feels more like I'm watching the video while stuck in an elevator, or if I'm in a hotel bed watching late-night Cinemax. Either way now I'm turned on. Thank you.

[@reaper9297]

Is the nitrogen purge a one and done service, or does the unit need to be purged multiple times throughout its life? If so how often?

[@davideinstein7887]

Every 6-12 months is what I heard. Basically, o ring is what holds the purge. They leak over time.

[@kevin11288]

You can get it purged as often as you like but it’s not necessary. If you notice moisture inside the device you would want to get us serviced. The technician would locate the point of ingress, repair that, then repurge.

[@clayhughes3263]

I was in the Army and they were "supposed" to be purged regularly. If I remember correctly 6 months for high usage units and annually for low usage units. It's more of a preventative measure. Over 6 months or a year in the muddy wet field, they are exposed to a lot of the elements. A typical owner who had to buy them with their OWN money is going to take care of them a lot better and doubtfully needs purging that regularly unless there is a bad seal. When not in use it's best to keep them in a sealed box (pelican or ammo can for example) with a pack of desiccant inside. If there is a bad seal then the desiccant should help draw it out while in storage.

0:56 I took off little screw valve, then trying to put in a hose from the regulator but it doesn't fit. So How can we get right adaptor? Can I get partnumber? I want to know the exact role of the valve. Thank you.

[@customnightvision]

google pvs14 purge kit.

[@안양포도사세요]

You mean that Do I need to purchase additionally?

[@rixvincentsalgado3868]

Hello! Do you have an nsn for the gauges you use?

[@customnightvision]

Which gauges?

[@dhdhdhhdhdhdhdbdbd4661]

Do I need to repurge device(Tanto) after I’ve unscrewed and screw back 1 RPO lens? Thank you. Regards

[@kevin11288]

I mean you dont have to.

[@SykesFW]

Do you guys just sell parts, or do you sell completed units?

[@bappo1288]

Okay i have a question, if i wanted to buy a set of elbit xlsh wp tubes but i have elbit xlsh gp tubes, could i use the gp tubes as like a "trade"/ buy in for the wp tubes?

[@jeremythomas3339]

Last time I asked that was a negative. You have to sell them on your own and pay the difference.

[@klane7]

Can i use argon for purging ?

[@customnightvision]

yes

[@klane7]

@@customnightvision allright thanks, then i purge mine with 100% argon !

[@schadenfreud33]

Schrader valve? Not to be nit picky, I would rather have 3 to 5 bar of nitrogen in that tube

[@Militaristics]

they would have to open up the area for a bigger fitting. never saw one smaller than 1/8" NPT before.

[@kevin11288]

Yeah there’s no room for a check valve that large.
