TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to nitrogen equipment technical field, concretely relates to a low dew point nitrogen generation system. BACKGROUND
[0002] The nitrogen making system is the equipment that takes air as raw material, and prepares nitrogen through compression, separation and other processes, and the main reason that the nitrogen generation system requires low dew point is that the dew point directly reflects the water content in nitrogen, and the moisture may have negative effects on application scenarios. For example, in electronic manufacturing, moisture can cause component oxidation or circuit short circuit, in food packaging, moisture can accelerate food spoilage, and in the chemical industry, moisture can react with certain chemicals, affecting product quality or safety. Therefore, low dew point (usually required to be lower than -65 DEG C or even -70 DEG C) is a key indicator to ensure the dryness of nitrogen and avoid moisture-related problems.
[0003] The existing nitrogen making machine usually uses a membrane separation system for freeze drying, however, the service life of the membrane assembly is limited, and in the state of simultaneous use of multiple membranes, as long as one membrane is damaged, the other membranes also need to be replaced, and the replacement cost is very high. If dry membranes are used, the membranes will be damaged once water or oil enters, and the maintenance cost is very high. Moreover, the dew point of the membrane separation nitrogen making machine is limited, and can usually only reach 0 DEG C to -20 DEG C dew point, which is difficult to meet the requirement of ultra-low humidity, the refrigeration system has a large power consumption, the operation cost is high, and the sensitivity to the environment is also high, which is manifested as a decrease in efficiency in high-temperature environment or gas flow fluctuation, therefore, the existing nitrogen making machine needs to be improved to meet the low dew point nitrogen making requirement.

[0008] Further, the heat exchanger is arranged above the radiator, and the inside of the heat exchanger is provided with a centrifugal fan, and the blowing port of the centrifugal fan faces the heat exchanger and blows heat away from the heat exchanger.
[0009] The cold dry water removal mechanism includes a radiator and a heat exchanger connected in series, the radiator performs preliminary heat dissipation for the air compressor and the compressed air output by the air compressor, because heat is generated during air compression, the temperature of the output compressed air is relatively high, and after part of the heat is dissipated through the radiator, the compressed air is reduced to normal temperature; the heat exchanger has a refrigeration effect and can cool the normal temperature compressed air to below the dew point temperature, so that the water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water, and after the liquid water is discharged, the water content of the compressed air is further reduced.
