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 characterized by strong water absorption, and has good adsorption performance at high temperature and low partial pressure, and can adsorb more kinds of harmful impurities in the process air. 13X molecular sieve crystal cavity volume, surface area is also large, its adsorption capacity is high, fast diffusion. 13X molecular sieve through the slope of the curve is larger, so its mass transfer area is shorter, fast adsorption.

The main characteristics of molecular sieve.

1, very strong adsorption, good selective adsorption performance.

2, very high dryness, good drying ability for high temperature gases.

3, good stability, below 200 ℃ can still maintain the normal adsorption capacity. The service life of molecular sieve is also relatively long.

4, the molecular sieve has a particularly strong adsorption capacity for water, followed by acetylene and carbon dioxide.

 Deere air separation equipment manufacturing design experience, in complete sets of small air separation units, large air separation units and liquid air separation plants manufacturing according to the actual requirements and specific circumstances to do fine, perfect, strict, safe, high quality.

The liquid air separation plant uses circulating nitrogen to absorb the cold end of LNG, thus replacing the traditional hot and cold end expanders of the liquid air separation plant. The liquid air separation plant energy consumption is reduced by using glycol aqueous solution closed circuit to absorb the cold at the high temperature end of LNG, thus replacing the traditional cool water tower with lower cooling water temperature and less water consumption. The key of the liquid air separation pl...

Expander is a kind of mechanical equipment that uses compressed gas to expand and depressurize, so that the gas temperature can be reduced to obtain the cooling capacity. In the air separation unit, the expander is an important equipment to provide cooling capacity for the air separation unit, and its cooling capacity accounts for 80% - 90% of the cooling capacity of the air separation unit. The main structural forms of expander are piston type and turbine type. The piston expander is suitable for air separation process with large pressure drop and small flow rate because of its convenient manufacture and low speed. Turbine type has the characteristics of large gas flow, high efficiency, stable and reliable operation and no friction parts. Due to the low pressure air separation process used in large air separation units, the pressure drop and unit cooling capacity are very small, and because the expansion air is sent to the upper column for rectification, the expander is requi
