Description

Technical Field

[0002] A nitrogen generator is a device that uses air as raw material and uses physical methods to separate oxygen and nitrogen in it to obtain nitrogen. Generally, cryogenic air separation, molecular sieve air separation and membrane air separation are used to produce nitrogen.

[0003] Currently, most nitrogen generators on the market that use cryogenic air separation are large in size and cannot use nitrogen gas during production. This is because other gases, primarily oxygen and water vapor, must be excluded during nitrogen production. These generators typically only have a single gas cylinder, so they cannot simultaneously produce and use nitrogen gas (for example, in welding environments). Furthermore, they typically only have a single dry cooler, which has limited efficiency and cannot quickly and efficiently dry-cool large volumes of air per unit time, resulting in a low nitrogen flow rate for the entire generator.

[0004] Therefore, a dual-channel nitrogen generator is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0026] The following will describe the implementation methods of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples, so that the implementation process of how the present application applies technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present embodiment provides a dual-channel nitrogen generator, including a frame 1, a support frame 101 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the frame 1, a nitrogen tank 8, a separation tank A9 and a separation tank B10 are fixedly installed on the support frame 101, the bottom of the separation tank A9 and the bottom of the separation tank B10 are both equipped with exhaust valves, and a muffler is installed at the air outlet of the exhaust valve. The first cold dryer 3, the second cold dryer 4, the first filter 5 and the five-way valve 6 are fixedly installed inside the frame 1, the air inlet of the first cold dryer 3 is connected to the air outlet of the air compressor through the oil-water separator 2, the air outlet of the first cold dryer 3 is connected to the air inlet of the first filter 5, the air outlet of the first filter 5 is connected to the air inlet of the second cold dryer 4, the air outlet of the first filter 5 is connected to the air inlet of the five-way valve 6, and one of the air outlets of the five-way valve 6 It is connected to the interior of the lower end of the separation tank A9, and another air outlet of the five-way valve 6 is connected to the interior of the lower end of the separation tank B10. The upper end of the separation tank A9 is respectively connected to the first connecting pipe 901 and the second connecting pipe 902, and the upper end of the separation tank B10 is respectively connected to the third connecting pipe 1001 and the fourth connecting pipe 1002. The nitrogen tank 8 is respectively connected to the first delivery pipe 14 and the second delivery pipe 15, and the first delivery pipe 14 and the second delivery pipe 15 are both installed with an electromagnetic valve 16. The first connecting pipe 901 and the third connecting pipe 1001 are both connected to the first delivery pipe 14, and the second connecting pipe 902 and the fourth connecting pipe 1002 are both connected to the second delivery pipe 15. A one-way valve 13 is provided on the first connecting pipe 901, the second connecting pipe 902, the third connecting pipe 1001 and the fourth connecting pipe 1002.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, first control the five-way valve 6 to connect the air outlet of the second cold dryer 4 with the air inlet of the separation tank A9, start the air compressor, and the outside air is separated by the oil-water separator 2 and enters the first cold dryer 3 for the first freeze-drying, and then enters the second cold dryer 4 for the second freeze-drying after being filtered by the first filter 5. The dried air enters the separation tank A9 through the five-way valve 6. Under the action of high pressure, the uppermost gas inside the separation tank A9 is very pure nitrogen. After a period of time, control the five-way valve 6 to connect the air outlet of the second cold dryer 4 with the separation tank B10, open the solenoid valve 16, and at this time the air pressure inside the separation tank A9 is greater than the pressure inside the nitrogen tank 8, so that the pure high-pressure nitrogen at the upper end of the separation tank A9 enters the nitrogen tank 8. The air pressure inside tank B10 is lower than the air pressure inside nitrogen tank 8, so the gas inside separation tank B10 will not enter nitrogen tank 8. When the nitrogen in separation tank A9 is transported, the solenoid valve 16 is closed, and the exhaust valve at the lower end of separation tank A9 is opened to discharge the impurity gas at the lower end of separation tank A9. After the separation tank B10 is inflated for a period of time, the air pressure inside separation tank B10 is greater than the internal pressure of nitrogen tank 8. At this time, the solenoid valve 16 is opened, and the nitrogen inside separation tank B10 is transported to the inside of nitrogen tank 8. When the nitrogen in separation tank B10 is transported, the solenoid valve 16 is closed, and then the five-way valve 6 is controlled to connect the air outlet of the second cold dryer 4 with the inlet of separation tank A9. At the same time, the exhaust valve at the lower end of separation tank B10 is opened to discharge the impurity gas inside separation tank B10, and the cycle is repeated.

[0029] In this embodiment, when high-flow nitrogen production is required, the five-way valve 6 is controlled to connect the air outlet of the second cold dryer 4 to the air inlet of the separation tank A9 and the air inlet of the separation tank B10 at the same time, and nitrogen production is performed simultaneously using dual channels. After the separation tank A9 and the separation tank B10 are inflated for a period of time, the solenoid valve 16 is opened to allow the pure high-pressure nitrogen at the upper end of the separation tank A9 and the separation tank B10 to enter the interior of the nitrogen tank 8.

[0030] In this embodiment, a second filter 7 is also included. The air outlet of the second cold dryer 4 is connected to the air inlet of the second filter 7, and the air outlet of the second filter 7 is connected to the air inlet of the five-way valve 6. The second filter 7 can be set to perform secondary filtration on the gas, effectively reducing impurities in the air and improving air purity.

[0031] In this embodiment, a pressure relief valve is installed at the bottom of the nitrogen tank 8. Through the set pressure relief valve, when the pressure inside the nitrogen tank 8 is greater than the set pressure, the pressure relief valve will automatically open to provide pressure relief protection for the inside of the nitrogen tank 8, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the equipment.

[0032] In this embodiment, the gas outlet of the nitrogen tank 8 is connected to a third filter 11, and the gas outlet of the third filter 11 is connected to a pressure flowmeter 12. The output nitrogen can be filtered by the third filter 11, thereby effectively improving the purity of the nitrogen.

[0033] In this embodiment, rollers 102 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1, and this arrangement facilitates the movement of the dual-channel nitrogen generator.

[0034] In this embodiment, a temperature and humidity alarm is installed at the air inlet of the five-way valve 6. When the temperature is detected to be higher than 50°C or the humidity is higher than 12%, an alarm will be issued to remind the user that there is a fault in the drying and cooling equipment.

[0035] The above description shows and describes several preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, as previously mentioned, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the form disclosed herein and should not be construed as excluding other embodiments.
