Description

Technical Field

[0002] As we all know, oxygen extraction can be achieved through chemical extraction, cryogenic method, and molecular sieve pressure swing adsorption extraction. Among them, molecular sieve is the most economical and effective way to extract oxygen. 3 / h~3m 3 The low-pressure molecular sieve oxygen production system with a capacity of / h has a complex structure, poor continuous stability of oxygen production and high cost.

[0003] The current implementation schemes include dual-tower linkage oxygen production through solenoid valve and cylinder control and four-tower PSA linkage oxygen production. The solenoid valve has high failure rate and is easy to be damaged. The cylinder is prone to problems such as eccentricity and broken shaft, which have an impact on oxygen extraction, and the dual-tower oxygen production has poor continuity. The four-tower PSA linkage oxygen production adopts rotary valve and servo motor control, which has disadvantages such as high cost and high power consumption. Due to the valve body structure design problem, grease is required to lubricate the bearings, which is easy to pollute oxygen. Because the adsorption pressure of PSA technology is as high as 0.45MPa, it is easy to generate large noise when discharging nitrogen. The proximity switch is used to find the origin, and it cannot rotate continuously. If the proximity switch is damaged, it is easy to cause the rotary valve to fail, causing the oxygen production equipment to malfunction and fail to produce oxygen.

[0071] Here, the first adsorption tower cooperates with other adsorption towers to describe the entire oxygen production and nitrogen removal process as follows:

[0072] Air intake / oxygen production: The movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, and the pre-intake groove 27 is correspondingly connected to the first air intake hole 35, so that a small amount of air is introduced into the first adsorption tower in advance. By pre-supplementing air, the time for reaching the adsorption pressure in the first adsorption tower is shortened. At this time, the second backflush groove 30 is correspondingly connected to the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69, and a small amount of oxygen produced by the first adsorption tower is transported to the second backflush groove 30 through the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69 and the first oxygen hole 37, and then transported to the second annular groove 34 through the second backflush groove 30, and then the oxygen in the second annular groove 34 is transported to the first annular groove 52 through the conducting hole 38, and finally transported to the oxygen collection device through the oxygen outlet pipeline 53 for collection.

At this time, the oxygen groove 26 is connected to the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69 correspondingly, and the second backflush groove 30 is connected to the second oxygen hole 41 correspondingly. A large amount of air is introduced into the first adsorption tower through the air inlet groove 24 and the first air inlet hole 35 for oxygen production. The oxygen generated in the first adsorption tower enters the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69 and flows into the oxygen groove 26 through the first oxygen hole 37. The oxygen in the oxygen groove 26 then flows into the second annular groove 34. The oxygen in the second annular groove 34 flows into the first annular groove 52 through the conducting hole 38 and is collected. The collected oxygen finally flows into the oxygen collecting device through the oxygen outlet pipe 53 for collection. At the same time, part of the oxygen enters the second backflush groove 30 through the second annular groove 34. The oxygen in the second backflush groove 30 enters the second adsorption tower through the second oxygen hole 41 and the second oxygen inlet pipe 70, so as to realize backflush in the second adsorption tower and help the molecular sieve in the second adsorption tower to be vacuum desorbed.

At this time, the second adsorption tower also starts to produce a small amount of oxygen, and the nitrogen exhaust groove 31 is connected to the fourth air inlet 47.

[0075] Primary pressure equalization: the movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, and the air inlet groove 24 is no longer connected to the first air inlet hole 35.

The oxygen in the first adsorption tower flows into the third adsorption tower through the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69, the first oxygen hole 37, the first equalizing groove 74, the second pressure equalizing groove 75 and the third air inlet hole 43. The molecular sieve in the third adsorption tower is optimized and purified to improve efficiency, save energy, realize the reuse of oxygen-enriched gas, and reduce the use of gas source. At the same time, the air pressure in the third adsorption tower is also increased to achieve the effect of balancing the air pressure in the first adsorption tower and the third adsorption tower. At this time, the air inlet groove 24 is connected to the second air inlet hole 39, and the second adsorption tower starts to produce a large amount of oxygen. The second backflush groove 30 is connected to the third oxygen hole 45, and part of the oxygen produced by the second adsorption tower enters the third adsorption tower. The vacuum groove 29 and the fourth air inlet hole 47 begin to be connected to each other.

[0076] Natural nitrogen discharge: the movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, and the nitrogen discharge groove 31 begins to be connected with the first air inlet 35.

At the same time, a small amount of air enters the third adsorption tower. The small amount of oxygen produced by the third adsorption tower is collected in the first annular groove 52 through the third oxygen inlet pipeline 71, the third oxygen hole 45, and the second annular groove 34, and finally transported to the oxygen collection device through the oxygen outlet pipeline 53 for collection. The vacuum groove 29 is connected with the fourth air inlet 47.

[0077] The movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, and when a section at the end of the nitrogen discharge groove 31 is connected to the first air inlet 35, the first backflush groove 33 begins to communicate with the first oxygen hole 37, and the air inlet groove 24 is still correspondingly connected to the second air inlet 39, and the air inlet groove 24 is gradually connected to the third air inlet 43, and the oxygen groove 26 is correspondingly connected to the second oxygen hole 41. At this time, part of the oxygen produced by the second adsorption tower in the second annular groove 34 and part of the oxygen produced by the third adsorption tower are sequentially backflush into the first adsorption tower through the second annular groove 34, the first backflush groove 33, the first oxygen hole 37 and the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69, thereby promoting the natural nitrogen discharge of the first adsorption tower. The first backflush groove 33 moves away from the first oxygen hole 37 as the nitrogen discharge groove 31 moves away from the first air inlet 35.

[0078] Vacuuming and nitrogen removal: When the movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise and the vacuuming groove 29 is connected to the first air inlet 35, the vacuuming device evacuates the interior of the first adsorption tower through the vacuuming hole 32 and the vacuuming groove 29 to realize vacuum desorption and nitrogen removal in the first adsorption tower. At this time, the first pressure equalizing groove 74 is connected to the second oxygen hole 41, and the second pressure equalizing groove 75 is connected to the fourth air inlet 47. Part of the oxygen produced in the second adsorption tower enters the fourth adsorption tower to achieve uniformity. The air inlet groove 24 is connected to the third air inlet 43, and the oxygen groove 26 is connected to the third oxygen hole 45. The third adsorption tower produces oxygen. The second backflush groove 30 is connected to the fourth oxygen hole 49, and part of the oxygen produced in the third adsorption tower enters the fourth adsorption tower to achieve backflush.

[0079] The movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, and the pre-gas replenishment groove 28 is connected to the first pre-gas replenishment hole 36 accordingly, so that the first adsorption tower is connected to the outside through the first air inlet hole 35 and the first pre-gas replenishment hole 36, so as to realize the pre-gas replenishment and adjustment of the pressure in the tower of the first adsorption tower after the vacuum negative pressure is drawn. At this time, the air inlet groove 24 is connected to the fourth air inlet hole 47 accordingly, and the oxygen groove 26 is connected to the fourth oxygen hole 49 accordingly, and the fourth adsorption tower produces oxygen.

[0080] Secondary pressure equalization: the movable valve 11 rotates counterclockwise, the second pressure equalizing tank 75 is connected to the first air inlet 35, the first pressure equalizing tank 74 is connected to the third oxygen hole 45, the second backflush tank 30 is connected to the first oxygen hole 37, and the oxygen in the third adsorption tower enters the first adsorption tower through the third oxygen inlet pipeline 71, the third oxygen hole 45, the first pressure equalizing tank 74, the second pressure equalizing tank 75, the first oxygen hole 37 and the first oxygen inlet pipeline 69. The oxygen is optimized and purified again by the molecular sieve in the first adsorption tower, the efficiency is improved, the energy is saved, the oxygen-enriched reuse is realized, the use of the gas source is also reduced, and the air pressure in the first adsorption tower is increased at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of balancing the air pressure in the first adsorption tower and the third adsorption tower.

[0081] After the second pressure equalization, the first adsorption tower starts to take in air / produce oxygen again, and the cycle continues.

[0082] From the above, it can be seen that the gas distribution process formed by the first adsorption tower in conjunction with the movable valve 11 and the fixed valve 4 is: air intake / oxygen production-primary equalization-natural nitrogen exhaust-vacuum nitrogen exhaust-secondary equalization-air intake / oxygen production, and this cycle is followed. Among them, the primary equalization is that the gas from the first adsorption tower flows to the third adsorption tower to achieve pressure balance between the two adsorption towers, and the secondary equalization is that the gas from the third adsorption tower flows to the first adsorption tower to achieve pressure balance between the two adsorption towers. Therefore, both the primary equalization and the secondary equalization are for pressure balance between the two adsorption towers arranged opposite to each other.

[0083] The gas distribution process formed by the second adsorption tower, the third adsorption tower and the fourth adsorption tower in cooperation with the movable valve 11 and the fixed valve 4 refers to the gas distribution process formed by the first adsorption tower in cooperation with the movable valve 11 and the fixed valve 4, and will not be repeated here.
