Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical technology, specifically to a nitrogen system for an adsorption tower. Background Technology

[0002] The central tube of the adsorption tower is a crucial supporting component inside the tower. It is a hollow pipe filled with liquid. During operation, the internal pressure is maintained by the material, ensuring stability. In the event of an interlock shutdown, to protect the adsorption tower, the material inlet and outlet are cut off, and nitrogen is introduced to maintain pressure and prevent vaporization of the material, which could damage the adsorbent. The pressure in the central tube can only be maintained by closing the inlet and outlet valves. However, if there is internal leakage in the isolation valve, the pressure in the central tube cannot be maintained, and a continuous drop can easily cause deformation of the central tube, thereby damaging the internal components of the adsorption tower.
