[0059] PSA adsorption towers achieve adsorption and desorption processes by controlling pressure fluctuations. When the pressure is increased, the adsorbent first adsorbs the strongly adsorbed components in the gas mixture under high pressure. Once adsorption saturation occurs, the adsorption tower enters a regeneration process, desorbing the adsorbate from the adsorption bed by reducing the pressure, while the unadsorbed components are discharged through the adsorption layer. Because different gases have different adsorption and desorption characteristics, separation can be achieved through periodic pressure changes.

[0060] Compressed air from the air compressor first enters a refrigerated dryer to remove moisture, and then enters two PSA adsorption towers. The special carbon molecular sieve adsorbents packed in the PSA adsorption towers selectively adsorb impurity gas components such as O2 and CO2, while the product gas N2 will be discharged from the top of the tower with 99% purity. During pressurization, rotating the rotating handle 1305 causes the rotating rod 1303 to rotate axially within the bearing 1302. The rotating rod 1303 then rotates the rotating plate 1304. By rotating the rotating handle 1305 and the indicator on the indicator panel, the connecting hole 130402 on the rotating plate 1304 rotates to the plate 130101 between the two connecting holes 130102, and the connecting hole 130403 rotates to the plate 130101 between the two connecting holes 130103. The plate 130101 completely blocks the connecting holes 130402 and 130403, making the adsorption tower below the pressurization grid 13 a closed structure, which facilitates pressurization within the tower.

[0061] During depressurization, the oxygen adsorbed by the adsorbent is desorbed and discharged counter-currently through the bottom of the PSA adsorption tower. After rinsing, the adsorbent is regenerated. After regeneration, the adsorbent is pressurized and then the product is pressurized before being put back into adsorption. The two PSA adsorption towers are used alternately to achieve continuous separation of air for nitrogen production. During depressurization, by rotating the rotary handle 1305 and the indicator on the indicator panel, the connecting hole 130402 on the rotating plate 1304 is rotated to completely overlap with the connecting hole 130102, and the connecting hole 130403 is completely overlapped with the connecting hole 130103. This ensures that the connecting holes 130402 and 130102, and 130403 and 130103 are fully connected, increasing the gas passage and facilitating depressurization within the tower.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
