[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a nitrogen energy-saving preparation device based on membrane separation, including a gas storage tank shell 1, a filter mechanism 2 and a purification mechanism 3 arranged on the outside of the gas storage tank shell 1.
[0022] The filtration mechanism 2 includes an air pump 21, a first filter tube 22, a microfiltration membrane 23, an air compressor 24, a second filter tube 25, an ultrafiltration membrane 26, and a buffer air tank 27. The air pump 21 is installed on the outside of the air tank shell 1. The first filter tube 22 is installed on one side of the air pump 21. The microfiltration membrane 23 is installed inside the first filter tube 22. The air compressor 24 is fixedly connected to one side of the first filter tube 22. The second filter tube 25 is installed on one side of the air compressor 24. The second filter tube 25 has an ultrafiltration membrane 26 installed inside it. A buffer gas storage tank 27 is connected to one side of the second filter tube 25. Through the arrangement of the air pump 21, the first filter tube 22, the microfiltration membrane 23, the air compressor 24, the second filter tube 25, the ultrafiltration membrane 26, and the buffer gas storage tank 27, air can be filtered, retaining only nitrogen. To accelerate air extraction, an air pump 21 is installed outside the outer shell of the gas storage tank 1, increasing the air transport efficiency. To improve air transport efficiency, and to filter out particles in the air, the air drawn by the air pump 21 first passes through the first filter tube 22. A microfiltration membrane 23 is installed inside the first filter tube 22 to isolate large particles and remove bacteria, dust, and other particulate matter. After the first filtration, the air is sent to the air compressor 24 for compression. After compression, the air is sent to the second filter tube 25 for a second filtration. An ultrafiltration membrane 26 is installed inside the second filter tube 25 for even finer filtration than the microfiltration membrane 23. After passing through the second filter tube 25, the air enters the buffer storage tank 27. The buffer storage tank 27 increases the system's air capacity, slowing down the rate of pressure drop and allowing the air compressor 24 to run for a longer period, significantly reducing the huge energy consumption caused by frequent compressor starts.
[0023] Furthermore, the purification mechanism 3 includes a gas supply pipe 31, a return pipe 32, an adsorption tower 33, a carbon molecular sieve 34, an exhaust port 35, and an exhaust pipe 36. A gas supply pipe 31 is connected to one side of the buffer storage tank 27, and a return pipe 32 is connected to one side of the gas supply pipe 31. The adsorption tower 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the return pipe 32. The interior of the adsorption tower 33 is filled with carbon molecular sieves 34. An exhaust port 35 is provided on the outer wall of the return pipe 32, and an exhaust pipe 36 is installed on the outside of the return pipe 32. Through the arrangement of the gas supply pipe 31, return pipe 32, adsorption tower 33, carbon molecular sieve 34, exhaust port 35, and exhaust pipe 36, nitrogen is purified and collected. The gas inside the buffer storage tank 27 enters the return pipe 32 installed below the adsorption tower 33 through the gas supply pipe 31, and then flows back to the reflux pipe 36. Pipe 32 carries the gas into the adsorption tower 33, where a carbon molecular sieve 34 is placed. As the gas passes through the adsorption tower 33 and the carbon molecular sieve 34, the moisture in the gas is deeply removed, thus achieving the requirement of extremely low dew point. The carbon molecular sieve 34 removes volatile organic compounds, odors, and oil vapors from the gas. The most unique and crucial feature of the adsorption tower is its cyclic working mode. After the gas passes through the adsorption tower 33 once, it will re-enter the adsorption tower 33 through the return pipe 32 for further filtration and purification, allowing the gas to be recycled, reducing costs, and recovering resources. After the adsorption tower 33 completes the filtration and purification of the gas, it will enter the interior of the gas storage tank shell 1 through the exhaust pipe 36 from the exhaust port 35, thereby collecting nitrogen.
[0024] Furthermore, one side of the first filter tube 22 is connected to the air pump 21, and the other side of the first filter tube 22 is fixedly connected to the air compressor 24. The air pump 21 accelerates the collection of air, and the air compressor 24 compresses the air to provide pure compressed air as raw material to produce nitrogen.
[0025] Furthermore, one side of the second filter tube 25 is connected to the air compressor 24, and the other side of the second filter tube 25 is fixedly connected to the buffer air tank 27. Through the function of the buffer air tank 27, the air capacity of the system is expanded, the huge power loss caused by the air compressor 24 is reduced, the damage caused by pressure is reduced, and the rate of pressure drop is slowed down.
[0026] Furthermore, the microfiltration membranes 23 are evenly distributed inside the first filter tube 22, and the ultrafiltration membranes 26 are evenly distributed inside the second filter tube 25. By setting up the microfiltration membranes 23, the air that has just been drawn into the equipment can be filtered, thereby preventing particles from entering and damaging the equipment.
[0027] Furthermore, the adsorption tower 33 is provided in two sets, and the reflux pipe 32 connects the two sets of adsorption tower 33. Through the setting of the adsorption tower 33, the gas can be deeply filtered and removed, while the nitrogen inside is retained. The nitrogen can be reintroduced into the adsorption tower 33 through the reflux pipe 32 for further purification.
[0028] Furthermore, two sets of carbon molecular sieves 34 are provided, which are distributed inside the two sets of adsorption towers 33 respectively. Through the arrangement of carbon molecular sieves 34, the gas is deeply dehydrated and the volatile organic compounds, odors and oil vapors inside the gas are removed.
[0029] Working Principle: To accelerate air intake, an air pump 21 is installed outside the air tank shell 1, increasing air transport efficiency. To filter out particles in the air, the air first passes through a first filter tube 22 during air pumping. A microfiltration membrane 23 is installed inside the first filter tube 22 to isolate large particles and remove bacteria, dust, and other particulate matter. After the first filtration, the air is sent to the air compressor 24 for compression. After compression, the air is sent to a second filter tube 25 for a second filtration. An ultrafiltration membrane 26 is installed inside the second filter tube 25 for even finer filtration than the microfiltration membrane 23. After passing through the second filter tube 25, the air enters a buffer air tank 27. The buffer air tank 27 increases the system's air capacity, slowing down the pressure drop and allowing the air compressor 24 to operate more efficiently. Over a longer period of time, the significant energy loss caused by frequent starts of the air compressor is greatly reduced. The gas inside the buffer storage tank 27 enters the return pipe 32 installed below the adsorption tower 33 through the gas delivery pipe 31. Then, the return pipe 32 carries the gas into the adsorption tower 33. Inside the adsorption tower 33, a carbon molecular sieve 34 is placed. When the gas passes through the adsorption tower 33 and the carbon molecular sieve 34, the moisture in the gas is deeply removed, thereby achieving the requirement of extremely low dew point. The carbon molecular sieve 34 removes volatile organic compounds, odors, and oil vapors from the gas. The most unique and key feature of the adsorption tower is its cyclic working mode. After the gas passes through the adsorption tower 33 once, it will enter the adsorption tower 33 again through the return pipe 32, thereby undergoing filtration and purification again. This allows the gas to be recycled, reducing costs and recovering resources. After the adsorption tower 33 completes the filtration and purification of the gas, it will enter the interior of the storage tank shell 1 through the exhaust pipe 36 from the exhaust port 35, thereby collecting nitrogen.
