Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygen preparation, and more specifically, it relates to an apparatus for producing high-purity oxygen based on coupling separation technology. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is an important and widely used gas separation method, such as pressure swing adsorption drying, pressure swing adsorption oxygen production, nitrogen production, etc. Among them, adsorption drying is usually used to remove the moisture contained in compressed air to obtain dry compressed air with a low dew point.
[0003] The traditional PSA method for producing oxygen from airflow typically uses nitrogen adsorbents such as CaA, CaX, NaX, and LiX based on equilibrium adsorption theory. However, even if all nitrogen in the air is adsorbed, it is difficult to produce product oxygen with a concentration greater than 95%, and the product gas contains about 5% argon. Therefore, to obtain high-purity oxygen, more complex multi-stage pressure swing adsorption systems must be used when using adsorption methods. A domestic invention patent application (202110222393.0) discloses a method and apparatus for preparing high-purity oxygen. This scheme utilizes valves and adsorption / extraction towers to produce oxygen. However, this scheme results in negative pressure and wasted power because the air compressor is still operating while the adsorption / extraction towers are exchanging power.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the product and optimize the product device itself to reduce its large size and efficiency. Utility Model Content
