Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a gas drying technical field, specifically relates to a drying agent dynamic water adsorption capacity testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Molecular sieve, alumina, silica gel, calcium chloride and other drying agents are widely used in the field of gas drying. When purchasing drying agents, manufacturers usually only provide the static water adsorption capacity of the drying agents, but not the dynamic water adsorption capacity, i.e. the dynamic adsorption capacity and the dynamic drying effect. The national standard GB / T 8770-2014 specifies a method for determining the adsorption of nitrogen gas stream by molecular sieve formed products, but it can only test the adsorption capacity of nitrogen gas stream saturated with water vapor at normal pressure and 25±2℃, and cannot test the adsorption capacity of gas with higher pressure and lower water content. In actual applications, especially in the field of gas purification, the water content in the raw material is usually lower than that in the nitrogen gas stream saturated with water vapor at 25±2℃, but it may affect the subsequent purification process (e.g. ice blocking may occur in low-temperature rectification), so it is necessary to dry the raw material before entering the next purification process. Therefore, it is necessary to test the adsorption capacity of the drying agent under the condition of gas with corresponding water content, i.e. the drying effect and the adsorption capacity, to determine the regeneration period of the drying agent and avoid affecting the subsequent purification process.
