Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air separation equipment, in particular to a magnetic suspension type vacuum pressure swing adsorption oxygen production equipment. Background Art

[0002] The working principle of vacuum pressure swing adsorption oxygen production is that air is sent by a blower into an adsorption tower filled with zeolite molecular sieve adsorbent. It enters the adsorbent layer evenly, and N2, H2O and a small amount of O2 are adsorbed. The product O2 is enriched and enters the buffer unit. After a period of time, when the adsorption tower is saturated with adsorption, the gas is recovered at equal pressure and the pressure is reduced by a vacuum pump to regenerate. At this time, the remaining adsorption towers are switched to continue working. The adsorption unit consists of two or three towers. Under the control of the PLC or DCS system, the programmable valve switches to control the alternating cycle of adsorption and regeneration, and continuously outputs the product O2. The adsorption layer is mainly composed of desiccant, zeolite molecular sieve, etc. The current inverter has certain problems when working. The motor in the factory often needs to accelerate and decelerate when working. When the motor decelerates, the motor is in a power generation state. At this time, the motor feeds back electrical energy to the DC bus side of the inverter, causing the DC bus voltage to increase. In the known technology, when the DC bus voltage is too high, the energy consumption braking method is used, and an external resistor is used to convert excess electrical energy into heat and dissipate it into the air, wasting a lot of energy and increasing carbon emissions. In addition, the existing equipment has high energy consumption and requires a lot of cost to use.

[0030] Among them, the magnetic suspension blower 1 belongs to a variable torque load, and its pressure, shaft power and flow rate satisfy the following relationship:

[0031] The flow rate and the speed are in direct proportion, the pressure and the square of the speed are in direct proportion, and the shaft power and the cube of the speed are in direct proportion. Therefore, if the speed of the motor decreases, its shaft power will decrease significantly.

[0032] For example, when the flow rate is 75% of the loading flow rate, the shaft power will drop to 49% of the rated power. Based on this principle, the idea of ​​frequency conversion control design for the magnetic suspension blower 1 and the magnetic suspension vacuum pump 7 can be obtained;

[0033] The specific operation is as follows: the required current signal is obtained by installing a pressure sensor group at the outlet of the fan. If the gas consumption of the system decreases, the outlet pressure of the oxygen booster 37 will increase, and the resistance of the corresponding pressure sensor group will decrease. The resistance of the pressure sensor group can be converted into a corresponding current signal through a 24V DC power supply, thereby increasing its input signal to the frequency converter. Finally, the deviation is obtained by comparing with the preset value to reduce the frequency of the frequency converter to adjust the output power supply. At this time, the speed of the motor and the compressor can be reduced, and the exhaust volume can be reduced at the same time.

[0034] When the gas consumption of the system increases, its overall pressure will gradually decrease. At this time, the power frequency output by the inverter will gradually increase, thereby increasing the speed and exhaust volume of the motor. At this time, the inverter can be used to adjust the speed to meet the gas consumption requirements of the system. When the adjusted gas consumption and gas supply are balanced, the inverter will operate stably at this point, thus realizing the constant pressure operation of the system and ensuring that the system always operates in the most economical state.

[0035] However, the magnetic levitation blower 1 and the magnetic levitation vacuum pump 7 need to consider the oxygen purity at the same time. When the purity does not reach the set value, the frequency of the magnetic levitation blower 1 and the magnetic levitation vacuum pump 7 will not be reduced to ensure the oxygen purity.

[0036] The first adsorption tower 23 and the second adsorption tower 24 are operated alternately;

[0037] Specifically, the working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: the pressure swing adsorption VPSA oxygen generator generally produces oxygen through the following operating steps; in one cycle, each adsorption tower must at least go through the five steps of "adsorption", "average pressure drop", "desorption", "flushing" and "average pressure increase". The first adsorption tower 23 and the second adsorption tower 24 are referred to as tower A and tower B for convenience of description. Figure 3 The figure shows the relationship between nitrogen adsorption and pressure change in an adsorption tower in one cycle. Figure 3 , the key operating steps of the two-tower VPSA oxygen production are described:

[0038]

[0039] Step 1: Adsorption AB

[0040] The raw air after the mechanical impurities are removed by the filter enters the tower from the bottom of the adsorption tower through the Roots blower, where H20, CO2, and N2 in the air are successively adsorbed by the adsorbents in the tower. Since O2 is rarely adsorbed in the adsorbent, it is continuously enriched in the gas phase and finally discharged from the outlet of the adsorption tower. In the "adsorption" step, the air is pressurized to P4 before it starts. During this process, the pressure in Tower A remains unchanged at P4, but the nitrogen adsorption amount changes from Q1 to Q3. After the adsorption amount reaches Q3, the air intake of Tower A is stopped and this step ends. Part of the oxygen produced in this step is sent to the buffer tank for oxygen transportation or use, and the other part is reserved for the next step to pressurize the low-pressure Tower B.

[0041] Step 2: Balance the voltage drop CD

[0042] In the "equal pressure drop" step, the product oxygen flows into Tower B along the outlet of Tower A, and the pressure of Tower B is increased. At this time, the adsorption pressure of Tower A continues to decrease, and the impurities on the adsorbent are continuously desorbed, and then the desorbed impurities are further adsorbed by the "clean" adsorbent reserved in the previous step. Therefore, in general, the impurities never flow out of Tower A in this step, and the impurity adsorption amount Q3 remains unchanged. As time goes by, when the adsorption pressure of Tower A drops to P3, the "clean" adsorbent in Tower A is also basically completely occupied by impurities, and the "equal pressure drop" step ends.

[0043] Step 3: Vacuum desorption of DA

[0044] After the "equal pressure drop" step, although the pressure in Tower A is close to atmospheric pressure, there are still some impurities in the adsorbent. In order to desorb these impurities as much as possible, Tower A must be evacuated and depressurized. Compared with PSA, VPSA is also this step, that is, further pumping Tower A through the vacuum pump to reduce the partial pressure of impurities in the tower, so that they are desorbed and discharged from Tower A through the vacuum pump. At the end of this step, the pressure in Tower A is reduced to P1, and the amount of impurities absorbed in the adsorbent is also reduced to the minimum amount Q1. At this time, the adsorbent is regenerated and ready for adsorption again in the next cycle.

[0045] Step 4: Flush EA

[0046] When the adsorption tower is performing the "vacuum desorption" step, in order to make the impurities in Tower A desorbed more thoroughly, a small amount of product oxygen will be introduced from Tower B to clean the adsorbent in Tower A at the end of the "vacuum desorption" stage. At this time, the oxygen partial pressure in Tower A is relatively increased, while the impurity partial pressure is relatively decreased, so that the impurities are more thoroughly desorbed in the adsorbent, thereby improving the regeneration effect of the adsorbent and being more conducive to the adsorption of the next cycle.

[0047] Step 5: Equalize the pressure to AB

[0048] After "vacuum desorption" and "flushing", the adsorbent in Tower A is regenerated. In order to ensure that the adsorption amount Q1 of impurities in the adsorbent remains unchanged, and the adsorption pressure is increased from P1 to the pressure P4 required for the adsorption condition as much as possible, a high-pressure product oxygen will be introduced to increase the pressure of Tower A. At the end of the "equal pressure increase", the pressure of Tower A reaches the pressure required for the adsorption condition, and is ready for the next cycle of impurity adsorption.

[0049] The switching of the above steps is mainly completed by the control system and the pneumatic switch valve group. The control system switches the pneumatic switch valve groups according to the sequential logic of each step, referred to as "timing logic", and then controls the time length of the adsorption tower in the steps of "adsorption", "equal pressure drop", "desorption", "flushing", "equal pressure increase", etc., so as to achieve oxygen and nitrogen separation and finally produce product oxygen that meets customer requirements.

[0050] The size of the corresponding flushing flow directly affects the performance of the equipment. When the flow is small, the flushing is incomplete and the purity does not meet the requirements. When the flow is large, it causes waste of product gas. The pneumatic control valve group is used to accurately adjust the regeneration gas volume.

[0051] When the equipment is in pressure equalization, the gas exhausted by the magnetic levitation blower 1 is discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in a waste of compressed air. When the equipment is in pressure equalization, the exhausted gas is released into the recovery storage tank 16. When the adsorption tower is pressurized, the gas is passed into the adsorption tower, which can quickly increase the pressure of the adsorption tower, save the consumption of compressed air, and further save energy.

[0052] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
