Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field related to the VPSA pressure swing adsorption structure, and specifically relates to a VPSA pressure swing adsorption structure. Background Technique

[0002] In the industrial pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process, adsorbents usually adsorb the easily adsorbed components in the mixed gas at normal temperature and relatively high pressure, and the components that are not easily adsorbed flow out from one end of the bed layer. Then, the pressure of the adsorbent bed layer is reduced to desorb the adsorbed components, which are discharged from the other end of the bed layer, thereby realizing the separation and purification of the gas, and at the same time, the adsorbent is regenerated. However, in the usual PSA process, two methods can be used to completely regenerate the adsorbent: one is to "flush" the bed layer with the product gas to reduce the partial pressure of the adsorbed impurities and displace the more difficult-to-desorb impurities. Its advantage is that it can be completed under normal pressure, but the disadvantage is that some product gas will be lost more.

[0003] For example, the authorized patent with the publication number CN213528033U (self-clamping device for VPSA pressure swing adsorption oxygen production adsorption tank): includes a tank body, a cover plate is arranged at the upper opening of the tank body, an installation hole is opened in the middle of the self-clamping device, a ceramic ball is arranged at the upper end of the installation hole, and alumina is respectively arranged at the lower end of the molecular sieve and the upper end of the self-clamping device inside the tank body.
