N2 is an inert gas that is very stable; it does not react with chlorine to form nitrogen trichloride, which is why nitrogen is the preferred gas for shaft sealing in turbines
Nitrogen will never react directly with halogens. Nitrogen halides are all produced through the halogenation of ammonia with halogens; fluorine cannot combine directly with nitrogen.
The formation of nitrogen trichloride is mainly due to high ammonia levels in the brine; the intrusion of nitrogen into the chlorine system only affects the purity of chlorine and does not result in the formation of nitrogen trichloride.
