How to judge whether the molecular sieve purifier works normally according to its adsorption temperature

Author: DEAR AST

In general, as long as the air precooling system is normal, the temperature of air entering the purifier will not change, and the temperature of air leaving the adsorber is slightly higher than the inlet temperature due to the influence of adsorption and heat release.

The difference of air inlet and outlet temperature is related to the air inlet temperature. Because the higher the temperature of the air inlet is, the greater the saturated moisture content in the air is, the higher the removal load of the adsorber is, the greater the adsorption heat generated, and the temperature difference will increase accordingly. When the air inlet temperature is 10 ℃, the temperature rise is about 4 ℃. At the beginning of switching, there is a large temperature difference between the inlet and outlet, even up to 20 ℃. This is because the process of switching the adsorber to charging is a pressure boosting process. The adsorption capacity of the molecular sieve increases. During the charging process, some molecules (including oxygen and nitrogen molecules) are also adsorbed, and the corresponding adsorption heat is carried out by air when the adsorber is switched to use. In addition, when the adsorber was first used, the adsorption capacity of molecular sieve was large, so the temperature increased significantly. If the outlet temperature of the purifier rises suddenly during use, it means that the air has brought the water in the air cooling tower into the adsorber, which should be handled urgently.

Cryogenic air separation nitrogen production uses air as raw material, which is compressed, purified and heat exchanged to liquefy gas air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen have different boiling points and are separated by distillation to obtain nitrogen. 1. Air compression and purification The air passes through the air strainer to remove dust and mechanical impurities, then enters the air compressor, compresses to the required pressure, and then goes to the air cooler to reduce the air temperature. It then enters the air drying purifier to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons from the air. 2. Air separation The purified air enters the main heat exchanger in the air separation column, and is cooled to the saturation temperature by the reflux gas (production nitrogen gas, waste gas), and is sent to the bottom of the distillation column. The nitrogen is obtained fr
