The oil is removed by catalytic cracking method of conversion degreaser.

 

Whether the oil removal is by filter or activated carbon adsorption, there are many disadvantages, and the oil removal effect is not stable. For some demanding industries, the above oil removal methods are not enough. At present, the more advanced method is to remove oil from compressed air by using the principle of catalytic cracking. Catalytic cracking, as the name suggests, is to use chemical methods to change the molecular chain of oil through fission and decomposition, so as to lose the characteristics of oil molecules and achieve the purpose of oil removal. The products represented by oil-free catalytic engine make use of this principle to make the treated compressed air reach oil-free state. The working principle of the equipment is as follows: the compressed air requiring oil removal enters the tank with catalyst after preheating by the heat exchanger. The tank is equipped with a temperature control system to control the reaction temperature at about 150 ℃. Under the action of catalyst and oxygen, the long molecular chain in the compressed air breaks into short molecular chain, and the short molecular chain continues to break into shorter molecular chain, Oxygen atoms can be attached to the inner surface of the catalyst particle micropores, and the oil-containing compressed air enters the micropores. When the oxygen molecules are close to the inner surface of the catalyst particle micropores, they are decomposed into two oxygen atoms and attached to the inner surface. When the oil molecular chain contacts the inner surface of the micropore, one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms are combined into carbon dioxide molecules, while two hydrogen atoms are combined with one oxygen atom into water molecules. The oil molecular chain is also broken and separated from the inner surface of the micropore with carbon dioxide and water molecules. The broken oil molecular chain continues to undergo the same chemical reaction. The broken oil molecular chains continue to undergo the same chemical reaction until all oil molecular chains are broken and react with oxygen atoms. Until the end, only carbon dioxide and water are used as reaction products. The reactant is cooled by the heat exchanger together with the compressed air and enters the rear pipe.

 

In fact, the cracking of oil molecules is almost completed "instantaneously", and the reaction speed is very fast, so after this series of steps, the oil in compressed air can be completely treated. Because the catalyst is only used for catalytic cracking reaction, it does not participate in the reaction itself.

 

Therefore, the catalyst itself has a very long service life, and the catalyst can ensure good catalytic cracking reaction. Moreover, the oil removal effect will not decrease with the passage of time, which can ensure the stable oil removal effect during the whole life of the equipment. And the oil content in the compressed air after oil-free catalytic cracking can be better than the grade 1 oil content standard of ISO 8573-1 standard. At the same time, because the temperature of oil-free catalytic cracking process is as high as 150 ° C, there are no live bacteria, cocci and viruses in the compressed air treated by oil-free catalytic machine. The catalytic cracking method can remove the oil vapor, oil aerosol and even liquid oil droplets in the compressed air. Due to the chemical method, the oil removal speed and efficiency are very high. Almost all the oil in the compressed air can be removed, which can fully meet the grade 1 oil content standard of the national standard GB / T 13277.1-2016 and ISO 8573-1.

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
