Abstract
The invention discloses an air separation technology, and particularly relates to a vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) air separation oxygen enrichment technology. External air passes through a blast blower and a heat exchanger from an air inlet, and then enters two adsorption towers working alternately. The VPSA oxygen enrichment process comprises the following basic steps: adsorption, pressure release, vacuum desorption, pressure balancing and pressurizing. The air inlet is formed above the two adsorption towers, and is used for feeding air upwards and discharging air downwards; the adsorption towers are multi-stage air distributor adsorption towers; an upper airflow distributor is filled with an oxygen-nitrogen separation molecular sieve, and a lower airflow distributor is filled with activated aluminum oxide, so that the molecular sieve inside the tower is not easily screened or jet. Furthermore, a plurality of stages of airflow distributors are arranged inside one adsorption tower, so that even airflow distribution can be facilitated, the adsorption performance is improved, water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and carbureted hydrogen in air are gradually absorbed, and the oxygen purity is high.
