[0074] See also Figure 2 ,The steps to analyze the difference between the current environment data and the standard environment data are:

[0075] S111: Based on the working environment of the PSA hydrogen extraction device, an environmental sensor is set to collect real-time temperature, humidity and pressure data to obtain an environmental monitoring data set;

[0076] The process of deploying environmental monitoring equipment involves installing sensors to collect temperature, humidity and pressure data in real time. The sensors have the ability to work stably under the working environment conditions of the equipment to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data. The data collection frequency of the sensors is set to once per minute to capture subtle changes in the environment. The collected data is transmitted to the central monitoring platform in real time via an encrypted wireless network. The central monitoring platform will perform preliminary screening and processing of the data, eliminate obvious error data, and store the screened data in the environmental monitoring data set. The process ensures real-time updating and accuracy of the data.

[0077] S112: extracting set standard environmental parameters from the system database, including standard temperature, standard humidity and standard pressure, to obtain a standard environmental data set;

[0078] The process of retrieving standard environmental parameter data from the control system's database includes reading data from multiple preset standard configuration files. The data is based on standard values ​​obtained from historical environmental data and environmental simulation tests. The read parameters include standard values ​​of temperature, humidity and pressure. The standard environmental parameter data set is obtained by comparing environmental data from different regions and seasons. The setting of standard parameters helps the monitoring system to accurately assess the current environmental conditions, and thus provides an effective reference benchmark when monitoring the deviation between actual environmental parameters and standard parameters.

[0079] S113: Based on the environmental monitoring data set and the standard environmental data set, the formula is:

[0080] ;

[0081] Calculate the environmental deviation index and obtain the environmental deviation analysis results;

[0082] in, is the actual measured temperature, is the standard temperature, is the actual measured humidity, is the standard humidity, is the actual measured pressure, is the standard pressure, , and is the weight coefficient.

[0083] formula:

[0084] ;

[0085] The formula is useful in that by adjusting the parameters , and To weight the changes in temperature, humidity, and pressure, the formula can more flexibly adapt to the impact of different environmental factors on the overall environmental assessment, thereby providing an accurate environmental deviation assessment.

[0086] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation and derivation:

[0087] set up Spend, Spend, , , atm, atm, , , , insert the formula to calculate, and get .

[0088] The result shows that the environmental deviation index is 0.141, which means that there is a slight deviation between the actual environment and the standard environment. Providing this value helps equipment operators understand the difference between the current environmental conditions and the preset standards, and then make necessary adjustments.

[0089] See also Figure 3 , the steps to obtain the environmental parameter adjustment instructions are:

[0090] S121: Based on the environmental deviation analysis result, the actual valve opening data is compared with the preset opening data, the opening difference that needs to be adjusted is determined, and the valve opening is adjusted in real time to obtain the adjusted valve opening data;

[0091] According to the results of the environmental deviation analysis, the valve opening is adjusted, including using automatic control equipment to receive adjustment instructions, automatically adjusting the valve opening, and automatically performing the adjustment by calculating the specific opening difference that needs to be adjusted based on the comparison of real-time data with preset data. The adjustment accuracy and response time of the valve are key factors to ensure the stable operation of the equipment. The system will record the opening data before and after the adjustment to provide data support for the subsequent operation effect evaluation. During the adjustment process, the system will also synchronously check the operating status of the valve to ensure the smooth progress of the adjustment activity.

[0092] S122: Based on the adjusted valve opening data and environmental deviation analysis results, the formula:

[0093] ;

[0094] Calculate the adjusted adsorption pressure and obtain the environmental parameter adjustment instruction;

[0095] in, is the adjusted adsorption pressure, is the current adsorption pressure of the device, is the environmental deviation index, is the adjustment coefficient.

[0096] formula:

[0097] ;

[0098] The benefit of the formula is that by adjusting the coefficient and environmental deviations The logarithmic form of is multiplied to achieve fine control of the adsorption pressure, making the pressure adjustment smoother and more sensitive to adapt to environmental changes of varying degrees.

[0099] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation: Setting the initial adsorption pressure kPa, environmental deviation index , adjustment coefficient , then the adjustment of adsorption pressure is calculated as kPa.

[0100] This indicates that under slight environmental deviations, the adjustment of the adsorption pressure is very small, maintaining the stability of the system. This result shows that the precisely calculated pressure regulation enables the equipment to maintain its performance under slightly changing environments, ensuring treatment efficiency and safety.

[0101] See also Figure 4 ,The steps to evaluate the deviation of real-time data from preset parameters are:

[0102] S211: Based on the environmental parameter adjustment instruction, real-time data of the PSA hydrogen extraction device is collected, including key parameters of temperature, pressure and flow rate, to obtain a real-time data set;

[0103] Based on the environmental parameter adjustment instructions, appropriate sensors and installation locations are selected to ensure that key operating data of the PSA hydrogen extraction device, such as temperature, pressure and flow rate, can be accurately collected. Data collection requires the configuration of high-precision sensors, and the data is sent to the central control platform in real time through the network. The central control platform analyzes the data in real time, compares the deviation between the actual operating data and the preset parameters, and obtains a real-time data set. Accurate collection and instant analysis of real-time data are crucial to ensuring that the equipment operates according to the predetermined parameters, and provides a basis for rapid response adjustments.

[0104] S212: Based on the real-time data set, the real-time data is compared with preset parameters, including temperature standard, pressure standard and flow rate standard, and the deviation between the actual data and the preset data is analyzed to generate real-time deviation information;

[0105] Based on the real-time data set, each key parameter collected is compared and analyzed one by one, the specific difference between each parameter and the preset value is calculated, and it is evaluated whether the difference is within the allowable operating deviation range. All deviations outside the range will be marked and an alarm will be generated, generating real-time deviation information. Deviation information is an important basis for the operation team to judge the operating status of the device and decide whether adjustments are needed, helping team members to quickly and accurately understand the operating status of the equipment and take corresponding measures.

[0106] S213: Based on the real-time deviation information, the formula:

[0107] ;

[0108] Calculate the operation deviation index and obtain real-time deviation analysis results;

[0109] in, is the running deviation index, represents the actual parameter, Represents preset parameters.

[0110] formula:

[0111]

[0112] The benefit of the formula is that it provides a unified standard for quantifying device operating deviations, and enhances sensitivity to large deviation values ​​in the form of a sum of squares, allowing the operating team to promptly identify and adjust operating conditions that deviate particularly far from preset parameters, helping to maintain equipment operation under optimal working conditions and prevent potential operational risks.

[0113] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation: The pressure value monitored in real time kPa, The preset standard pressure value kPa, substitute into the formula: .

[0114] The results show that the pressure parameters of the current system are only slightly higher than the preset values, and the deviation index is very small, indicating that the system is basically in a stable state. This result shows that by continuously monitoring and comparing the preset parameters through the monitoring system, the equipment parameters can be adjusted in real time to ensure continuous optimization of system performance.

[0115] See also Figure 5 , the steps for obtaining the adjusted running status information are:

[0116] S221: Based on the real-time deviation analysis result, the operation deviation index is compared with the preset deviation standard to determine whether the pressure and hydrogen flow rate of the adsorption tower need to be adjusted, and the pressure and flow rate adjustment requirement information is obtained;

[0117] Based on the real-time deviation analysis results, the difference between the actual working pressure and the set pressure of the adsorption tower is evaluated, and the real-time data of the hydrogen flow rate is monitored synchronously. The operation deviation index is compared with the preset deviation standard to determine whether the pressure and hydrogen flow rate of the adsorption tower need to be adjusted, providing a basis for fine-tuning operations. The entire process strictly relies on the feedback mechanism of the control system to ensure real-time update and precise regulation of all data;

[0118] S222: Adjust demand information based on pressure and flow rate, through the formula:

[0119] ;

[0120] Calculate the optimized parameters;

[0121] in, represents the optimized parameters, Indicates the current operating parameters. is the target parameter, is the adjustment factor, is the running deviation index;

[0122] formula:

[0125] Formula calculation process: Setting current operating parameters is 50 units, the target parameter For 60 units, the adjustment factor is 0.1, running deviation index is 1.2.

[0126] calculate unit.

[0127] Calculate the total adjustment: unit.

[0128] Calculate new operating parameters: unit.

[0129] The calculation method dynamically combines actual operation data with preset targets to achieve precise adjustment of equipment operating parameters, optimize equipment operation efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Indicates optimized operating parameters, which help achieve the best operating status of the equipment.

[0130] S223: Based on the optimized parameters, adjust the control valve to modify the hydrogen flow rate, and adjust the output of the pressure pump to verify that the pressure and flow rate of the adsorption tower reach the ideal state, and obtain the adjusted operating parameters;

[0131] Based on the optimized parameters, the pressure and hydrogen flow rate of the adsorption tower are automatically adjusted. The adjustment is usually achieved by modifying the relevant settings in the control system, such as adjusting the valve opening or changing the operating speed of the pump. The fine-tuning measures are to achieve better gas purification effects and energy efficiency ratios. During the adjustment process, the operator needs to closely observe the effects of system feedback to ensure that each adjustment can gradually enable the equipment to approach or reach the optimal operating state. The goal is to achieve or exceed the predetermined production and safety indicators through continuous optimization iterations.

[0132] See also Figure 6 , the steps to identify the changing trend of the concentration of impurities during adsorption are:

[0133] S311: Based on the adjusted operation status information, the gas quality monitor interface is configured to match the output end of the PSA device, and the hydrogen purity is monitored in real time through the monitor to obtain real-time hydrogen purity data;

[0134] Based on the adjusted operating status information, the gas quality monitor connected to the PSA device starts real-time monitoring. After ensuring that the interface of the PSA device matches the gas quality monitor, data transmission between the devices is achieved through precise installation and debugging. In the process, standardized data interface protocols are used to ensure the accuracy and real-time nature of the data. The stable connection of the interface lays the foundation for subsequent data collection. By implementing a real-time monitoring system on the device side, it is ensured that the data obtained from the gas quality monitor is real-time and accurate. The collected data includes changes in hydrogen purity and concentration of impure substances. The data will be used for subsequent analysis and processing.

[0135] S312: Based on real-time hydrogen purity data, the formula:

[0140] ;

[0141] The benefit of the formula is that it allows for rapid response to environmental changes, improves adjustment accuracy, and effectively controls purity within a reasonable range, which has a direct positive impact on the efficiency and output quality of the entire system.

[0142] Detailed explanation of the formula and the process of formula calculation: Use the improved formula to calculate the rate of change of the concentration of impure substances and set the time interval Hours, concentration changes before and after and , adjustment coefficient .calculate .

[0143] The results showed that the concentration of the impure substance changed at a rate of 0.015 units per hour.

[0144] See also Figure 7 , the steps to obtain the optimized purity control results are:

[0145] S321: Based on the concentration trend information, the formula:

[0146] ;

[0147] Calculate the adjusted adsorption time;

[0148] in, is the adjusted adsorption time, is the standard adsorption time, is the impure substance concentration change trend index, is the adjustment factor;

[0149] formula:

[0150] ;

[0151] The benefit of the formula is that it can flexibly adjust the adsorption time according to the change of the concentration of impurities, so as to more accurately control the purity of hydrogen to meet the high standards required for industrial applications. Through this formula, you can intuitively see how the increase in the concentration of impurities systematically affects the duration of the adsorption process. Formula explanation and formula calculation derivation process: Standard adsorption time :The standard adsorption time of the equipment is set to 100 minutes, which is based on past operating data and the manufacturer's recommendations. Impurity concentration trend index :Through the real-time monitoring system, if the concentration of impure substances in the current hydrogen sample increases by 20% compared with the previous cycle, then Adjustment factor : Based on past experience and equipment performance, it is set to 0.05. The coefficient reflects the sensitivity of the adsorption time adjustment to the increase in impurity concentration. Calculate the adjusted adsorption time: ;

[0152] The adjusted adsorption time is approximately 100.91 minutes. This result shows that with a slight increase in the concentration of impure substances, the adjustment of the adsorption time ensures that the purity of the hydrogen can reach the required industrial standards, thereby effectively controlling quality fluctuations in the production process.

[0153] S322: based on the adjusted adsorption time, resetting the operating parameters of the PSA equipment, carrying out the actual adsorption process, and monitoring the hydrogen purity again to check whether the hydrogen purity meets the standard requirements, and obtaining an optimized purity control result;

[0154] Based on the adjusted adsorption time, the operating parameters of the PSA equipment are updated and a new operating cycle is implemented. The purity of the hydrogen is monitored again to verify whether the adjustment of the adsorption time has achieved the expected effect. A real-time feedback mechanism is used to adjust the operating parameters to adapt to actual production conditions. The optimized hydrogen purity results ensure that the hydrogen products can meet strict quality standards. The execution of the process depends on precise time control and the effective use of real-time data to achieve dual optimization of production efficiency and product quality.

[0161] ;

[0162] The benefit of the formula is that by converting the ratio of the standard deviation of hydrogen purity to the average value into a percentage, it can intuitively reflect the degree of fluctuation of hydrogen purity, which is crucial for quality control. If the fluctuation index is too high, it means that the purity is unstable and the production process may need to be adjusted to improve product quality. Formula explanation and formula calculation derivation process: Set the hydrogen purity sample values ​​measured in a cycle to 98.5%, 99.0%, 98.8%, 99.2%, and 98.9%, and calculate the average value and standard deviation , then the purity fluctuation index The results show that the fluctuation of hydrogen purity is very small during the investigation period. It can be considered that the production process is stable and the hydrogen quality meets the standards.

[0163] S412: Based on the purity fluctuation index, the purity is compared with the preset standard to determine whether the purity meets the preset standard, and the qualified hydrogen is output through the product pipeline to obtain the product hydrogen quality assurance result;

[0164] Based on the calculated purity fluctuation index, evaluate whether the purity of hydrogen meets the preset quality standards. If the purity fluctuation index is lower than the maximum allowable value, the hydrogen quality is confirmed to be qualified. Then, the qualified hydrogen is transported to the next production link through the product pipeline through the control system command. The process includes automatic control of the switch valve, pressure regulation of the pipeline and real-time monitoring of the flow rate to ensure that only qualified hydrogen can be finally output, thereby ensuring the quality and safety of the product hydrogen.
