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
