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.

In the liquid air separation plant, the cooled refrigerant goes to the air machine through the refrigerant delivery pipeline, and the intercooler cools the compressed air to around 10°C, improving the efficiency of the air compressor and reducing the energy consumption of the air compressor. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen to recycle and utilise the CNG cold through a heat exchanger, which in turn liquefies the air to transfer the cold to the liquid air separation plant, an...

The plant operation cycle between two large heating is related to many factors. From an operational point of view, this mainly depends on when the air passage of the main heat exchanger is blocked. The main reason for the blockage is that the moisture and carbon dioxide content in the air entering the unit exceeds the standard, which accumulates and freezes in the main heat exchanger until it is blocked. The abnormal operation of molecular sieve purification system will shorten the operation cycle of the unit. It is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. The molecular sieve adsorption bed is short circuited. In the process of operation, due to the unstable gas velocity control or switching, the pressure difference between the two tanks is too large, which will affect the bed layer, make the molecular sieve bed uneven and make the bed layer short circuit. In serious cases, the dust screen of the adsorber will break and the molecular sieve powder will enter the heat exchanger c
