How can I tell if the moisture and carbon dioxide levels in the air after exiting the molecular sieve purifier are excessive and what causes them?

Out of the molecular sieve purifier after the air moisture and carbon dioxide content exceeds the standard judgement, usually the following methods:
1)The indication value of the moisture and carbon dioxide detection meter located after the molecular sieve adsorber rises quickly at the end of the cycle and reaches the alarm value quickly;
2) There is freezing of moisture and carbon dioxide in the main heat exchanger. The temperature difference at the hot end increased significantly, and the air separation unit was not cool enough, requiring an increase in the amount of expansion air. Pay special attention to this situation when the moisture and carbon dioxide detection instruments are out of order.
There may be the following reasons for this situation:
1)The molecular sieve has been used for a long time, and the adsorption performance has decreased;
2)Incomplete regeneration of molecular sieve, or steam regeneration heater leakage, regeneration gas moisture; or molecular sieve adsorption of moisture load is too large, affecting the adsorption of carbon dioxide;
3) For horizontal molecular sieve adsorber, due to airflow pulsation and other reasons caused by the bed undulation, short-circuit airflow;
4) For vertical molecular sieve adsorber, short-circuiting of airflow is caused by gaps in the adsorption bed.

If the temperature after the expander of the air separation unit is too low, it should find out the cause of the low temperature and take measures to increase the temperature after the expander. If the low temperature of expander is caused by liquid air in front of expander, appropriate measures should be taken to reduce the liquid air level of lower column. If it is caused by other reasons, the more effective method is generally throttling in front of the expander. Throttling will not increase the temperature in front of the expander, but throttling will reduce the pressure in front of the expander, so the pressure difference between the front and the back of the expander will be reduced, the expander will do less work and the temperature will be reduced, so the temperature at the after of the expander can be increased.
