Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PSA nitrogen making devices, and in particular to a zero-gas-consumption PSA nitrogen making device recovery and energy-saving system. Background Art

[0002] In the PSA nitrogen production system, the raw air is first compressed by an air compressor and then processed by an air purification system. The air purification system usually includes components such as a dust collector, an oil remover and a drying tower. There are usually two groups of drying towers. The two groups of drying towers use desiccant adsorption and regeneration cycles to complete the drying of the air. The regeneration gas conventionally used for the dryer is taken from the inside of the dryer itself, which requires additional compressed air and increases power consumption. In addition, if the drying effect of the dryer itself is poor, the regeneration effect will be poor. Summary of the invention

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of openings are distributed in an annular manner on the vertical section, and a second air bag is provided at the opening, and the desiccant on the moving net can be pushed to move upward by inflating the second air bag.

[0011] Optionally, temperature sensors are provided in the tower bodies of the first drying tower and the second drying tower. When the temperature sensor detects that a first temperature has been reached, the first temperature indicates that a required heating temperature has been reached, and the first driving unit drives the moving net to rise.

[0015] From the above, it can be seen that the present invention uses the waste gas in the adsorption tower as the regeneration gas of the drying tower. In addition to being able to separate nitrogen and oxygen, the molecular sieve in the adsorption tower also has a strong water absorption capacity. Therefore, when the waste gas in the adsorption tower is used as the regeneration gas of the drying tower, the water content of the regeneration gas is much lower than the water content of the compressed air at the outlet of the dryer. Therefore, the water absorption effect of the regeneration gas is better, and the moisture in the desiccant can be better taken away, thereby improving the regeneration effect of the desiccant. Therefore, the present invention does not need to consume additional compressed air as the regeneration gas, thereby achieving zero consumption of the regeneration gas and saving electric energy. At the same time, because the regeneration gas is drier, the regeneration effect of the desiccant is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a zero gas consumption PSA nitrogen production device recovery energy-saving system includes a first drying tower 1, a second drying tower 2, a first adsorption tower 3 and a second adsorption tower 4, characterized in that it also includes: a first pipeline 5, a backflush tank 6, and a second pipeline 7, wherein:

[0026] The air inlets of the first drying tower 1 and the second drying tower 2 are connected to a third pipeline 8, and the air outlets are connected to a fourth pipeline 9. The third pipeline 8 is connected in series with a first control valve 10 and a second control valve 11. The third pipeline 8 is connected in parallel with a fifth pipeline 12. The fifth pipeline 12 is connected in series with a third control valve 13 and a fourth control valve 14. The fifth pipeline 12 is connected to a first exhaust pipe 15, and the first exhaust pipe 15 is located between the third control valve 13 and the fourth control valve 14. The fourth pipeline 9 is connected in series with a fifth control valve 16 and a sixth control valve 17. The fourth pipeline 9 is connected in parallel with a sixth pipeline 18, and the sixth pipeline 18 is connected in series with a seventh control valve 19 and an eighth control valve 20;

[0027] The first adsorption tower 3 and the second adsorption tower 4 are connected to the second exhaust pipe 21, one end of the first pipeline 5 is connected to the second exhaust pipe 21, the other end of the first pipeline 5 is connected to the air inlet of the back-blowing tank 6, one end of the second pipeline 7 is connected to the air outlet of the back-blowing tank 6, the other end of the second pipeline 7 is connected to the sixth pipeline 18, and is located between the seventh control valve 19 and the eighth control valve 20, and the second pipeline 7 is connected in series with a ninth control valve 22, and the switch of the control valve can be automatically realized by an existing control system.

[0028] The first drying tower 1 and the second drying tower 2 are both provided with an intermediate column 23, and the intermediate column 23 is provided with a distribution part, and the distribution part is used to place the desiccant 32, wherein when the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in an adsorption state, the distribution part makes the desiccant 32 in an aggregated state, and when the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in a regeneration state, the distribution part makes the desiccant 32 in a dispersed state.

[0029] During operation, when the first drying tower 1 is in the adsorption state and the second drying tower 2 is in the regeneration state, the first control valve 10, the fifth control valve 16, the ninth control valve 22, the eighth control valve 20 and the fourth control valve 14 are opened, and the other control valves are closed. When the second drying tower 2 is regenerated, the exhaust gas in the adsorption tower is used as the regeneration gas, passes through the first pipeline 5, the backflush tank 6 and the second pipeline 7, and enters the second drying tower 2 through the eighth control valve 20, takes away the moisture in the desiccant 32 in the second drying tower 2, and regenerates the desiccant 32 in the second drying tower 2. Then, the regenerated gas passes through the fourth control valve 14 and is discharged through the first exhaust valve. When the first drying tower 1 is in the regeneration state and the second drying tower 2 is in the adsorption state, the second control valve 11, the sixth control valve 17, the ninth control valve 22, the seventh control valve 19 and the third control valve 13 are opened, and the other control valves are closed. When the first drying tower 1 is regenerated, the exhaust gas in the adsorption tower is used as the regeneration gas, passes through the first pipeline 5, the backflush tank 6 and the second pipeline 7, and enters the first drying tower 1 through the seventh control valve 19, takes away the moisture in the desiccant 32 in the first drying tower 1, and regenerates the desiccant 32 in the first drying tower 1, and then the regenerated gas passes through the third control valve 13 and is discharged through the first exhaust valve.

[0030] As can be seen from the above, the present invention uses the waste gas in the adsorption tower as the regeneration gas of the drying tower. In addition to being able to separate nitrogen and oxygen, the molecular sieve in the adsorption tower also has a strong water absorption capacity. Therefore, when the waste gas in the adsorption tower is used as the regeneration gas of the drying tower, the water content of the regeneration gas is much lower than the water content of the compressed air at the outlet of the dryer. Therefore, the regeneration gas has a better water absorption effect and can better take away the moisture in the desiccant 32, thereby improving the regeneration effect of the desiccant 32. Therefore, the present invention does not need to consume additional compressed air as the regeneration gas, thereby achieving zero consumption of the regeneration gas and saving electric energy. At the same time, since the regeneration gas is drier, the regeneration effect of the desiccant 32 is improved.

[0031] In some embodiments, an air heater 33 is connected in series to the second pipeline 7. When one of the drying towers is undergoing a regeneration operation, the air heater 33 is used to heat the regeneration gas flowing in the second pipeline 7 during a predetermined time period of regeneration, and the regeneration gas is not heated during other time periods.

[0032] In the regeneration state, the moisture in the desiccant 32 can be further removed by heating the regeneration gas, thereby further improving the regeneration effect of the desiccant 32. The regeneration gas is not heated in other time periods in order to cool the desiccant 32 while regenerating, so as to facilitate the subsequent adjustment to the drying effect in the adsorption state.

[0033] During the adsorption operation, it is hoped that all the air passes through the desiccant 32 to ensure the drying effect. When the adsorbent is in a polymerized state, gaps can be avoided to ensure that all the air passes through the desiccant 32 for dehumidification. During the regeneration operation, it is hoped that the desiccant 32 is dispersed so that the regenerated gas can pass through the desiccant 32 more comprehensively and take away the moisture in the desiccant 32, thereby improving the regeneration effect of the desiccant 32. In order to achieve the above effect, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the distribution part includes an annular platform 24 arranged between the middle column 23 and the tower bodies of the first drying tower 1 and the second drying tower 2, the annular platform 24 has a first horizontal section 25, a vertical section 26 and a second horizontal section 27, the two ends of the vertical section 26 are respectively connected to the first horizontal section 25 and the second horizontal section 27 to form a step shape, an annular moving net 28 is slidably connected between the vertical section 26 and the middle column 23, one end of the moving net 28 close to the middle column 23 is higher than the other end, the top of the moving net 28 is used to place the desiccant 32, the bottom of the moving net 28 is provided with a first driving unit, the first driving unit is used to drive the moving net 28 to rise or fall, the top of the first horizontal section 25 is provided with a first airbag 29, when the first airbag 2 9 forms an inclined surface toward the central column when inflated, an annular baffle 30 is slidably provided above the first horizontal section 25, a plurality of first vents are distributed on the annular baffle 30, a second driving part is provided on the top of the annular baffle 30, a plurality of second vents are distributed on the second horizontal section 27, when the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in an adsorption state, at this time, the height of the moving net 28 is lower than the first horizontal section 25, the desiccant 32 is located in the space formed by the baffle 30, the vertical section 26, the moving net 28 and the middle column 23, and is in an aggregated state, when the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in a regeneration state, at this time, the height of the moving net 28 is higher than the first horizontal section 25, the desiccant 32 is located in the space formed by the first horizontal section 25, the moving net 28 and the middle column 23, and is in a dispersed state.

[0034] When the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in the adsorption state, the control system controls the first driving unit to drive the mobile net 28 to move downward, so that the height of the mobile net 28 is lower than the first horizontal section 25, and the first air bag 29 is inflated by the external inflation device to form an inclined surface, so that the desiccant 32 on the first horizontal section 25 falls into the mobile net 28, and the desiccant 32 is located in the space formed by the baffle 30, the vertical section 26, the mobile net 28 and the middle column 23. The desiccant 32 is covered by the baffle 30. Since the space is small at this time, the desiccant 32 will be in a polymerized state, which is beneficial to the drying effect. When the first drying tower 1 or the second drying tower 2 is in the regeneration state, the control system controls the first driving unit to drive the mobile net 28 to move upward, and the second driving unit drives the baffle 30 to move upward. At this time, the height of the mobile net 28 is higher than the first horizontal section 25, and the desiccant 32 is located in the space formed by the first horizontal section 25, the mobile net 28 and the middle column 23. At this time, due to the addition of the first horizontal section 25, the space is increased, so that the desiccant 32 is in a dispersed state, which is beneficial to the regeneration effect.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the vertical section 26 is provided with a plurality of openings in a ring shape, and a second air bag 31 is provided at the opening. The inflation of the second air bag 31 can push the desiccant 32 on the moving net 28 to move upward, so that the desiccant 32 can be more evenly distributed on the moving net 28.

[0036] In some embodiments, temperature sensors are provided in the tower bodies of the first drying tower 1 and the second drying tower 2. When the temperature sensor detects that a first temperature has been reached, the first temperature indicates that a required heating temperature has been reached, and the first driving unit drives the moving net 28 to rise. When the temperature sensor detects that a second temperature has been reached, the second temperature indicates that the temperature of the regenerated gas has been restored to its original temperature. After a predetermined time has passed through the timer, the first driving unit drives the moving net 28 to descend.

[0037] After the first temperature and the second temperature are detected by the temperature sensor, the first driving part is driven by the control system, so that when the mobile network 28 rises or falls to drive the desiccant 32 to roll, it is already at the required temperature. Therefore, the regeneration effect and cooling effect can be further improved through the rolling process at the required temperature. The design of the timer allows the desiccant 32 to cool for a period of time in a dispersed state and then polymerize.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first driving part and the second driving part are electric cylinders or pneumatic cylinders, and may also be other existing driving parts that can drive components to rise and fall.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least two groups of the distribution parts are provided above and below. By providing multiple groups of distribution parts and placing desiccant 32 on the distribution parts, the drying effect of the air can be further improved.

[0040] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the discussion of any of the above embodiments is merely illustrative and is not intended to imply that the scope of the present invention (including the claims) is limited to these examples. Under the concept of the present invention, the technical features in the above embodiments or different embodiments may be combined, the steps may be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the above aspects of the present invention, which are not provided in detail for the sake of simplicity.

[0041] The present invention is intended to cover all such substitutions, modifications and variations that fall within the broad scope of the appended claims. Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
