Advantages and disadvantages of the accumulator of small air separation unit

The accumulator is a heat exchanger that transfers hot and cold airflow through a filler as a medium. When the cold airflow passes through the accumulator, the cold is stored in the filler and the airflow is heated, and when the hot airflow passes through the accumulator, the airflow takes the cold from the filler. It has the advantage of being simple in structure, low resistance and not easily blocked. The disadvantages are high switching losses, mutual contamination during switching and reduced purity. The airflow impact causes abrasion of the seasoning and its powder is easily carried intosmall air separation unit.

The reason why Dear Air Separation has such strong R&D strength and advanced technology in line with international standards is due to our in-depth cooperation with well-known institutions at home and abroad, such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Japan's Dayang Institute of Nitric Acid Research and Tianjin University, which has led to rapid development in process design, manufacturing, installation and commissioning.6

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

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.
