High Purity oxygen generator oxygen generator manufacturers
Working Principle
Nitrogen molecules have a faster diffusion rate in the micropores of zeolite molecular sieve, and oxygen molecules have a slower diffusion rate. The diffusion of water and carbon dioxide in compressed air is similar to that of nitrogen. Finally, oxygen molecules are enriched from the adsorption tower. Pressure swing adsorption oxygen production uses the selective adsorption characteristics of zeolite molecular sieve, adopts the cycle of pressurized adsorption and decompression desorption, and makes the compressed air enter the adsorption tower alternately to realize the separation of oxygen and nitrogen, so as to continuously produce high-purity and high-quality oxygen.
PSA oxygen generator adopts high-quality zeolite as adsorbent according to the principle of pressure swing adsorption. Under a certain pressure, oxygen is extracted from the air, purified and dried compressed air, and pressurized adsorption and decompression desorption are carried out in the adsorber. Due to the aerodynamic effect, the diffusion rate of nitrogen in the micropores of zeolite molecular sieve is much higher than that of oxygen. Nitrogen is preferentially adsorbed by zeolite molecular sieve, and oxygen is enriched in the gas phase to form finished oxygen. Then, after decompression to atmospheric pressure, molecular sieve desorbs the adsorbed nitrogen and other impurities to realize regeneration. Generally, two adsorption towers are set in the system, one for adsorption and oxygen production, and the other for desorption and regeneration. The PLC program controller controls the opening and closing of the pneumatic valve to make the two towers circulate alternately, so as to achieve the purpose of continuous production of high-quality oxygen.
System flow
The complete oxygen generation system consists of the following components:
Air compressor ➜ buffer tank ➜ compressed air purification device ➜ air process tank ➜ oxygen nitrogen separation device ➜ oxygen process tank.
1. Air compressor
As the air source and power equipment of the nitrogen generator, the air compressor is generally selected as screw machine and centrifuge to provide sufficient compressed air for the nitrogen generator to ensure the normal operation of the nitrogen generator.
2. Buffer tank
The functions of the storage tank are: buffering, stabilizing pressure and cooling; So as to reduce the fluctuation of system pressure, fully remove oil-water impurities through the bottom blowdown valve, make the compressed air smoothly pass through the compressed air purification component, and ensure the reliable and stable operation of the equipment.
3. Compressed air purification device
The compressed air from the buffer tank is first introduced into the compressed air purification device. Most of the oil, water and dust are removed by the high-efficiency degreaser, and then further cooled by the freeze dryer for water removal, oil removal and dust removal by the fine filter, which is followed by deep purification. According to the system working conditions, hande company specially designed a set of compressed air degreaser to prevent possible trace oil penetration and provide sufficient protection for molecular sieve. The well-designed air purification module ensures the service life of zeolite molecular sieve. The clean air treated by this module can be used for instrument gas.
4. Air process tank
The function of air storage tank is to reduce air flow pulsation and buffer; So as to reduce the system pressure fluctuation and make the compressed air smoothly pass through the compressed air purification assembly, so as to fully remove oil-water impurities and reduce the load of subsequent PSA oxygen and nitrogen separation unit. At the same time, during the work switching of the adsorption tower, it also provides PSA oxygen and nitrogen separation unit with a large amount of compressed air required for rapid pressure rise in a short time, which makes the pressure in the adsorption tower rise to the working pressure quickly, ensuring the reliable and stable operation of the equipment.
5. Oxygen nitrogen separation unit
There are two adsorption towers a and B equipped with special molecular sieve for oxygen generator. When clean compressed air enters the inlet end of tower a and flows to the outlet end through molecular sieve, nitrogen is adsorbed by it, and product oxygen flows out from the outlet end of adsorption tower. After a period of time, the molecular sieve in tower a is saturated. At this time, tower a automatically stops adsorption, compressed air flows into Tower B for nitrogen absorption and oxygen production, and regenerates the molecular sieve of tower a. The regeneration of molecular sieve is realized by rapidly lowering the adsorption tower to atmospheric pressure and removing the adsorbed nitrogen. The two towers carry out adsorption and regeneration alternately to complete oxygen and nitrogen separation and continuously output oxygen. The above processes are controlled by programmable logic controller (PLC). When the oxygen purity at the gas outlet is set, the PLC program will open the automatic vent valve to automatically vent the unqualified oxygen, cut off the unqualified oxygen from flowing to the gas consumption point, and use the silencer to reduce the noise below 78dba during gas venting.
6. Oxygen process tank
The oxygen buffer tank is used to balance the pressure and purity of oxygen separated from the nitrogen oxygen separation system to ensure the continuous and stable supply of oxygen. At the same time, after the work switching of the adsorption tower, it recharges part of its own gas into the adsorption tower, which not only helps the pressure rise of the adsorption tower, but also plays a role in protecting the bed, and plays a very important process auxiliary role in the working process of the equipment.
