A nitrogen generator refers to a device that uses air as raw material and uses physical methods to separate oxygen and nitrogen in it to obtain nitrogen. The adsorption tower is an indispensable part of the nitrogen generator. The adsorption tower uses the carbon molecular sieve to separate nitrogen and oxygen.

At this time, the gas can only contact the molecular sieve above, thus shortening the adsorption time of the airflow in disguise, thereby reducing the adsorption efficiency. Utility Model Content
