Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nitrogen-oxygen separation, and particularly to a portable nitrogen-oxygen separator. Background Art
[0002] Nitrogen-oxygen separation is the process of separating nitrogen and oxygen in air. This technology is usually applied to air separation equipment to produce high-purity oxygen or nitrogen. Nitrogen-oxygen separation is based on the size difference of gas molecules and the principle of molecular sieve. Through the selective adsorption of molecular sieve, nitrogen molecules are larger than oxygen molecules, so nitrogen molecules will be blocked by the molecular sieve, while oxygen molecules can pass through the molecular sieve, thus achieving separation. Nitrogen-oxygen separation technologies include cryogenic air separation method and membrane separation method. Among them, the cryogenic air separation method liquefies air by lowering its temperature, and then separates them by using the boiling point difference between nitrogen and oxygen. The boiling point of nitrogen is -195.8 °C, and the boiling point of oxygen is -183 °C. They can be purified separately by fractional distillation. The membrane separation method separates by using the different diffusion rates of oxygen and nitrogen in a non-porous polymer membrane. Since the volume of oxygen molecules is smaller than that of nitrogen molecules, the diffusion rate of oxygen in the polymer membrane is greater than that of nitrogen, thus achieving separation. At present, small nitrogen-oxygen separation equipment generally adopts the membrane separation method, which has the advantages of compact equipment, simple operation, and is suitable for on-site nitrogen production and mobile nitrogen production. However, currently, conventional portable nitrogen-oxygen separators generally have a single-stage separation structure. Although the separation efficiency is guaranteed, the purity is relatively low. In this case, increasing the separation stage can improve the purity level, but it has a greater impact on the separation pressure and gas flux. Summary of the Invention
