[0019] The working principle and use process of this utility model:
[0020] In use: crude hydrogen first enters the gas-water separator A1 to separate hydrogen and trace water, and then enters the deoxidation tower 2 for deoxidation under the action of the catalyst. Under the action of the catalyst, trace oxygen and hydrogen react to form water. The hydrogen with oxygen removed enters the cooler A3 for cooling, and after cooling, enters the gas-water separator B4. The hydrogen out of the top of the gas-water separator enters the three-tower drying tower for dehydration. The hydrogen can first enter the gas-water separator C5, gas-water separator D6 or gas-water separator E7, and then enter the cooler B8, cooler C9 or cooler D10, and finally enter the drying tower A11, drying tower B12 or drying tower C13 for dehydration. Most of the dried hydrogen passes through the hydrogen filter A14 or hydrogen filter B15 to exit the system, and a small part of the dried hydrogen enters the drying tower as regeneration gas. Drying tower A11, drying tower B12 or drying tower C13 is first heated to the temperature required for regeneration by a built-in heater. Then, after the gas reaches the bottom of the drying tower, it is heated and purged to remove the water adsorbed by the molecular sieve. The regenerated water enters cooler B8, cooler C9 or cooler D10, and then enters gas-water separator C5, gas-water separator D6 or gas-water separator E7. Finally, it enters drying tower A11, drying tower B12 or drying tower C13 again to adsorb the regenerated gas and merge it with the working gas to exit the system. Drying tower A11, drying tower B12 and drying tower C13 are used for working, regeneration and regeneration gas adsorption respectively. The water at the bottom of gas-water separator B4, gas-water separator C5, gas-water separator D6 and gas-water separator E7 is discharged to water collector 16 through an automatic valve and exits the system through water seal tank 17.
