Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nitrogen manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a nitrogen outlet backflushing device for a nitrogen generator. Background Technology

[0002] The nitrogen generator's adsorption tower is located in the oxygen-nitrogen separation unit, which is the core unit of the nitrogen generator. It mainly consists of an adsorption tower containing a specialized adsorbent, pneumatic valves, a pressing cylinder, and a silencer. Based on the difference in the amount of oxygen adsorbed by the adsorbent in compressed air under different pressures, the adsorption tower pressurizes to absorb oxygen and produce nitrogen, while depressurizing to deoxygenate and regenerate the adsorbent. The two towers work alternately to achieve continuous nitrogen production. The backflushing device is mainly used in air separation equipment. In existing technology, the equipment operates by switching between adsorption towers. During one adsorption cycle, the gas in the other adsorption tower is completely discharged. When switching adsorption towers, some nitrogen is directly lost, resulting in insufficient nitrogen utilization and a significant impact on purity.

[0003] The invention patent with authorization announcement number CN210764336U discloses a nitrogen outlet backflushing device for a nitrogen generator, including a nitrogen pipe disposed between two sets of nitrogen adsorption towers. The two ends of the nitrogen pipe are connected to the two sets of nitrogen adsorption towers respectively through a nitrogen outlet and a nitrogen inlet. A shut-off valve B is provided at the middle position of the nitrogen pipe. A backflushing pipe is also provided on the nitrogen pipe. A shut-off valve A and a one-way valve are sequentially provided on the backflushing pipe. The nitrogen pipe and the backflushing pipe are made of low-carbon stainless steel pipes, and the inner wall of the steel pipes is electrolytically polished. The nitrogen pipe and the backflushing pipe are both integrally formed steel structures. The one-way valve is a straight-through one-way valve, which is connected to the backflushing pipe by a thread. The shut-off valves A and B are right-angle pneumatic shut-off valves. This technical solution operates through exchange. During one adsorption cycle, the gas in another adsorption tower is completely discharged. When switching adsorption towers, a portion of the nitrogen enters the adsorption tower through a backflushing device, allowing the nitrogen to be reused and causing the pressure inside the adsorption tower to rise rapidly, thereby ensuring the purity of the nitrogen.

[0004] However, the above technical solution still has some shortcomings. For example, when the two sets of nitrogen adsorption towers work alternately, two sets of backflush pipes need to be set up independently to achieve backflush control. The residual nitrogen in the backflush pipes is difficult to be fully utilized, which may affect the purity of subsequent nitrogen production. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a nitrogen outlet backflushing device for a nitrogen generator, employing the following technical solution:

[0006] A nitrogen generator nitrogen outlet backflushing device includes two main nitrogen pipes located at the outlet of a nitrogen adsorption tower. Each of the two main nitrogen pipes has a first tee pipe fixedly installed at its end. A backflushing mechanism is provided between the two first tee pipes. Each of the other ends of the two first tee pipes has a nitrogen branch pipe fixedly installed. Each of the two nitrogen branch pipes has a second tee pipe fixedly installed at its end. Each of the two second tee pipes has a first exhaust branch pipe fixedly installed at its opposite end. Each of the two first exhaust branch pipes has a first one-way valve installed on it, and the two first one-way valves are opposite to each other. Each of the two first exhaust branch pipes has a third tee pipe fixedly installed at its opposite end. A connecting pipe is fixedly installed at the other end of the third tee pipe. Each of the two second tee pipes has a second exhaust branch pipe fixedly installed at its other end. Each of the two second exhaust branch pipes has a first shut-off valve fixedly installed on it. Each of the two second exhaust branch pipes has a four-way pipe fixedly installed at its opposite end. One end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the four-way pipe, and the other end of the four-way pipe has an exhaust pipe fixedly installed.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, clean air feedstock first enters one of the nitrogen adsorption towers, where O, CO, and H₂O are adsorbed by the adsorbent. When the adsorbent in the nitrogen adsorption tower is saturated with oxygen, the inlet valve of the nitrogen adsorption tower is closed, and the inlet valve of the other nitrogen adsorption tower is opened. At the same time, the first gas path check valve and the first shut-off valve on the corresponding side of the original nitrogen adsorption tower are opened to depressurize the adsorption tower. Nitrogen is output from the first exhaust branch pipe, the second exhaust branch pipe, and the exhaust pipe on the corresponding side. In conjunction with the activation of the backflushing mechanism, a small portion of nitrogen flows back into the original nitrogen adsorption tower to desorb the adsorbed O, CO, and H₂O, thereby achieving deoxygenation and regeneration of the adsorbent. The two sets of nitrogen adsorption towers share the same backflushing mechanism, alternating between adsorption and regeneration to complete oxygen-nitrogen separation. This allows for more effective utilization of the nitrogen in the pipeline, ensuring the purity of the nitrogen produced.

[0008] Furthermore, the backflush mechanism includes two backflush pipes respectively fixedly installed on the first three-way pipe, each of the two backflush pipes is fixedly installed with a second shut-off valve, and the opposite ends of the two backflush pipes are jointly fixedly installed with a first loop pipe, on which two spaced second air passage one-way valves are fixedly installed.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the second gas path check valve and the corresponding second shut-off valve are opened, allowing nitrogen to flow into the first loop pipe through the backflush pipe. When the first loop pipe is filled with nitrogen, the corresponding second shut-off valve is closed. When the nitrogen in the nitrogen main pipe, nitrogen branch pipe, first exhaust branch pipe, and second exhaust branch pipe is about to be completely discharged, the corresponding first shut-off valve is closed and the corresponding second shut-off valve is opened, allowing the nitrogen in the first loop pipe to flow out. Part of the nitrogen flows out through the backflush pipe, nitrogen branch pipe, first exhaust branch pipe, and the first gas path check valve, while part of the nitrogen flows back into the nitrogen adsorption tower through the backflush pipe and nitrogen main pipe, desorbing the adsorbed O, CO, and H2O, thus achieving adsorbent deoxygenation and regeneration.

[0010] Furthermore, the two second air circuit check valves are oriented in the same direction along the first loop pipe, and the two second air circuit check valves are located on both sides of the connection line between the two backflush pipes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, nitrogen gas in the first loop pipe can circulate in one direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the first loop pipe is a low-carbon stainless steel pipe, and the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe is electrolytically polished.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solutions, the low-carbon stainless steel pipe ensures the strength of the pipeline, and the electrolytic polishing makes the inner wall of the pipe smoother and brighter, which is conducive to the flow of nitrogen.

[0014] Furthermore, the backflush mechanism includes two backflush pipes respectively fixedly installed on the first three-way pipe, each of the two backflush pipes is fixedly installed with a second shut-off valve, each of the two backflush pipes has a second loop pipe fixedly installed at one end opposite to the other, a connecting pipe is fixedly installed between the two second loop pipes, and each of the two second loop pipes has two spaced second air passage one-way valves fixedly installed.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the second gas path check valve and the corresponding second shut-off valve are opened, allowing nitrogen to flow into the second loop pipe through the backflush pipe. The two second loop pipes are connected by a connecting pipe to achieve interactive flow of nitrogen. When the two second loop pipes are filled with nitrogen, the corresponding second shut-off valve is closed. When the nitrogen in the nitrogen main pipe, nitrogen branch pipe, first exhaust branch pipe, and second exhaust branch pipe is about to be completely discharged, the corresponding first shut-off valve is closed and the corresponding second shut-off valve is opened, allowing the nitrogen in the two second loop pipes to flow out. Part of the nitrogen flows out through the backflush pipe, nitrogen branch pipe, first exhaust branch pipe, and first gas path check valve, while part of the nitrogen flows back into the nitrogen adsorption tower through the backflush pipe and nitrogen main pipe, desorbing the adsorbed O, CO, and H2O, thus achieving adsorbent deoxygenation and regeneration.

[0016] Furthermore, the two second air circuit check valves located on the same second loop pipe have the same orientation along the second loop pipe, and the two second air circuit check valves located on the same second loop pipe are respectively located on both sides of the connecting pipe.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, nitrogen in a single second loop pipe can circulate in one direction, and nitrogen in two second loop pipes can circulate interactively through a connecting pipe.

[0018] Furthermore, both the second loop pipe and the connecting pipe are made of low-carbon stainless steel, and the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe is electrolytically polished.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the low-carbon stainless steel pipe ensures the strength of the pipeline, and the electrolytic polishing makes the inner wall of the pipe smoother and brighter, which is conducive to the flow of nitrogen.

[0020] Furthermore, the nitrogen main pipe, nitrogen branch pipe, and backflush pipe are all made of low-carbon stainless steel, and the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe is electrolytically polished.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the low-carbon stainless steel pipe ensures the strength of the pipeline, and the electrolytic polishing makes the inner wall of the pipe smoother and brighter, which is conducive to the flow of nitrogen.

[0022] Furthermore, each of the first air circuit check valve, the first shut-off valve, the second shut-off valve, and the second air circuit check valve is equipped with an electronic control unit, and each electronic control unit is controlled globally through a PLC controller.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution and using a PLC controller, more efficient and timely coordinated control of each valve body can be achieved.

[0024] Furthermore, the first exhaust branch pipe, the second exhaust branch pipe, and the exhaust pipe are all made of low-carbon stainless steel, and the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe is electrolytically polished.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the low-carbon stainless steel pipe ensures the strength of the pipeline, and the electrolytic polishing makes the inner wall of the pipe smoother and brighter, which is conducive to the flow of nitrogen.

[0026] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] This application, by setting up a backflush mechanism, a nitrogen main pipe, a nitrogen branch pipe, a first exhaust branch pipe, a second exhaust branch pipe, a first gas path check valve, and a first shut-off valve, enables two sets of nitrogen adsorption towers to share the same backflush mechanism, alternately perform adsorption and regeneration, complete oxygen-nitrogen separation, and more effectively make full use of the nitrogen in the pipeline, thus ensuring the purity of nitrogen production.
