Novel polybed VPSA process and system to achieve enhanced O2 recovery are disclosed. The VPSA process comprises using three or more adsorber beds; providing a continuous feed supply gas using a single feed blower to one bed, wherein at any instant during the process, two beds are in an evacuation step and only one bed is in a feed mode; and purging the adsorber beds using two purge gases of different purity. The VPSA cycle may further comprise utilizing a storage device (e.g., a packed or empty equalization tank) to capture void gases during co-current depressurization step of the VPSA cycle, which is used at a later stage for purging and repressurization of the bed. In addition, the VPSA process employs a single feed compressor and two vacuum pumps at 100% utilization. Furthermore, the use of the storage device minimizes the use of product quality gas for purging. About 10-20% improvement in O2 productivity is realized in the new VPSA process.

The invention relates to an adsorbent article. The adsorbent article contains zeolitic particles which include at least one zeolitic adsorbent. The zeolitic particles are immobilized with at least one resin. According to one embodiment, the resin is in the form of particles, which can be melted to form bridges at points of contact between the zeolitic particles, thus immobilizing the zeolitic particles. The average size of the zeolitic particles can be between 0.03 mm and 3 mm. The zeolitic particles contain at least one zeolite and the zeolite content of the article is at least 60 weight percent, based on the weight of the article.

The invention relates to a method for producing oxygen by adsorbing a stream of atmospheric air, using a VSPA unit comprising four adsorbers, one air compressor and two vacuum pumps, each adsorber undergoing a single pressure cycle with a phase time shift, comprising the following steps: a) producing a first stream of gas having an oxygen content T1 while loading the adsorber of the stream of atmospheric air upstream; b) producing a second stream of gas comprising an oxygen content T2
摘要:
Disclosed is a gas supply device (30) provided for a container (11) in which a breathing plant (15) is housed. The device (30) supplies nitrogen-enriched air into the container (11). The device (30) is provided with a malfunction diagnosis section (91) which checks whether each of components of the device (30) works properly or not and specifies a malfunctioning portion if an oxygen concentration of the nitrogen-enriched air does not fall to or below a predetermined concentration. The malfunction diagnosis section (91) checks whether each of an air pump (31), a motor (41), and a switching mechanism (32, 33) works properly or not, and determines that an adsorbent is not working properly when it is determined that all of the air pump (31), the motor (41), and the switching mechanism (32, 33) are working properly.
