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 medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
