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.

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 c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
