- a transaction is generally performed air drying by adsorption, with a dew point between -40 ° C and -70 ° C.
- This process is carried out by a two-chamber installation containing agents for dehumidifying compressed air. then of the passage of compressed air in the first of these rooms, the air is dried and then passes through a space in which carbon monoxide is converted into carbon dioxide. Dehumidified air then circulates in the second chamber of the installation, where it is remoistened by through the agents contained in this second chamber, having absorbed moisture during a cycle previous.
- the installation also includes a four-way valve channels, to reverse the direction of the airflow compressed through the installation, so that this air tablet flows alternately from the first to the second chamber, and from the second to the first bedroom. Note that this recurrent inversion of direction of the flow of compressed air through the installation is a necessary condition for to be able to rewet the air produced. Thus, this installation seems only very little suitable for continuous air production, and does not allow under no circumstances to produce air breathable at a constant humidity level, during a important period.
- this type of process involves a number of major disadvantages, including that of the complexity of the installation used, or still that of the inability to regulate the rate breathable air humidity produced.
- Another disadvantage is the risk of desorption from the carbon dioxide, recovered during the passage of air in the column for remoistening.

- the installation 1 of breathable air production finds application in the field of dismantling nuclear installations, where operators carrying out work are forced to wear ventilated suits in order to avoid being in contact with contaminated areas.
- the invention could also find an application on the building sites of asbestos blasting that generate particles and asbestos dust likely to be carcinogenic, on sites where operations are carried out painting, or on sites where are made welding or cutting parts metal with high smoke emission.
- the installation 1 is supplied with compressed air by air compression means (not shown) for compressing the air at a pressure greater than 1 bar, and preferably between 4 and 15 bar.
- the air compression means are adapted to provide a compressed air flow rate of between 10 m 3 / h and 1000 m 3 / h per installation.
- compression means of air can take the form of compressors lubricated with screws or pistons, or the shape of dry screw compressors.
- Compressed air coming out of the means of compression is usually loaded with a multitude impurities, which must be extracted before direct this air towards the various combinations broken down by the operators working on the site.
- CO carbon monoxide
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- the origins of the presence of such species in the compressed air coming out of the means of compression are various and varied. As for example, it may be the defective nature of a filter separator of a lubricated compressor, the rupture of the cooling circuit of a compressor dry screw, or the mere presence of these gas in the atmosphere near suction of the compression means.
- NE EN 12021 indicates the maximum values in CO and CO 2 that may comprise the air intended to be breathed.
- the maximum permissible value imposed by this standard is 500 ppm (particles per million), this low value being adopted so that the air produced is as close as possible to natural air, generally containing around 400 ppm CO 2 .

- the adsorption dryer 11 with a dew point at -73 ° C under pressure, is intended to remove any moisture in the compressed air. Note that the dryer 11 comprises a molecular sieve (not shown) trapping almost all the CO 2 contained in the compressed air.
- the processing means 2 Connected directly to the dryer at adsorption 11 via a pipe 12, the processing means 2 have a filter 13 with 1 micron particles, whose main function is to stop the dust released by the dryer 11.
- a CO-CO 2 catalyst 14 connected to the filter 13 by means of a pipe 15, this catalyst being able to retain the CO via the hopcalite ( mixture of metal oxides), and to catalyze the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
- the adsorption dryer 11 is placed upstream of the catalyst 14, the moisture contained in the air being highly detrimental to the proper functioning of the CO-CO 2 catalyst.
- the means of treatment 2 end with an activated carbon filter 16, intended for remove all traces of taste and odor from the treated air, and connected to the catalyst 14 by means of a pipe 17.
- the activated carbon filter 16 is also connected to an outlet pipe 20 of the treatment means 2.
- the means of rehumidification 4 comprise an inlet pipe 18, connected to the outlet pipe 20 of the treatment means 2 by a pipe 19.
- a dry route 22 consisting of a main line of dry air 28 on which is mounted, close to the point Q, a non-return valve 30 with a known pressure drop.
- this pressure drop will be of the order of 300 mbar.
- the other path between points P and Q is a rehumidification route 24.
- This route 24 comprises successively between the points P and Q, a 32 dry air bypass line, a tank of water 34, as well as a saturated air duct humidity 36.
- the diversion pipeline of dry air 32 communicates with a portion of the tank 34 filled with water, while the saturated air duct in moisture 36 communicates with a portion of the reservoir 34 does not include water.
- a water level 37 inside the tank 34 is from preferably maintained so that the water lying in the reservoir 34 is always in contact with the 32 dry air diversion pipeline, but never in contact with the air duct saturated with moisture 36.
- a regulating valve 38 is mounted on the dry air bypass 32, while a nonreturn valve 40 is mounted on the humidity saturated air duct 36, close Q.
- the dry lanes 22 and rehumidification 24 meet at point Q, through the main air ducts dry 28 and air saturated with moisture 36.
- These pipes 28 and 36 are connected to the outlet pipe 26, on which is mounted a probe 42 for measuring the humidity level of the treated air.
- the probe 42 is connected to control means 48, sensitive to the signal delivered by the probe 42, and able to control the regulating valve 38 mounted on the dry air diversion pipeline 32.
- the installation 1 of air production breathable works as follows.
- Compressed air from the means of compression enters the installation 1 by the channel 9, as represented by the arrow A, then undergoes treatment first by borrowing successively the following elements: 9, the de-oiler filter 6, the pipe 10, the dryer 11, line 12, particulate filter 13, the line 15, the catalyst 14, the pipe 17, the activated carbon filter 16, and the pipeline 20.
- the circulating air inside is dry and treated, and is routed to the rehumidification means 4 using the line 19, connected to the inlet pipe 18.
- the treated dry air arrives at point P, it is distributed on the one hand in the pipeline main dry air 28, and secondly in the ductwork of dry air 32.
- the presence of means of distribution, constituted in the mode of embodiment described by the regulating valve 38, allows to totally control the relationship between quantity of treated air passing through the main pipe of dry air 28, and the amount of circulating air circulating in the dry air diversion pipeline 32.
- the air circulating in the pipeline main dry air 28 does not undergo any treatment specific, and is only driven to point Q where it mixes with the treated air from the way 24.
- the circulating air in the dry air bypass 32 passes through the water tank 34 where it loads in moisture to saturation, then rejoins point Q through the air duct saturated in humidity 36.
- the non-return valve 40 is designed for dry air from the pipeline main dry air 28 does not penetrate inside the water tank 34.
- the outlet pipe 26 contains a mixture of dry air and saturated air in humidity, this mixture being adapted to obtain a predetermined humidity of the air produced by 1.
- the probe 42 constantly controls, via control means 48, the opening of the valve regulator 38, and therefore allows the passage a limited and variable amount of dry air from of the inlet duct 18.
- the probe 42 also allows check the temperature of the delivered air.
- the permanent regulation of the valve 38 is also of interest when the airflow from plant 1 varies, this case being encountered when the number of operators Breathing air produced by the installation 1 increases or decreases.
- a change in airflow inside the installation 1 can cause a change in the distribution of dry air treated between the pipes 28 and 32, this being able have the effect of changing the humidity level produced air circulating in the pipeline of output 26.
- the probe 42 measuring so constant humidity rate out of installation 1 it allows to readjust real-time opening of the regulating valve 38, so that the produced air can keep the same rate moisture than that of the air produced when the number of ventilated combinations connected to the installation 1 is different.
- the check valve 30 with loss of known role is essentially to create a pressure difference between the mainline dry air 28, and the air channel saturated with humidity 36. Such a difference in pressure makes it possible to favor the passage of dry air from the main line of dry air 28, in the outlet pipe 26. By making this arrangement In particular, it avoids that only air coming from the moisture saturated air duct 36 joins the outlet channel 26, this being able to have for effect of wetting probe 42 too strongly, and of render then inoperative.
- the treated and rewet air circulating the inside of the outlet pipe 26 can therefore exit facility 1 (arrow B) with a rate of controlled humidity, and be redistributed to ventilated combinations of operators.
- the installation 1 comprises means of analysis 44 of the quantities of CO and CO 2 contained in the air leaving the processing means 2.
- the analysis means 44 communicate with the processing means 2 via a pipe 46, directly connected to the outlet pipe 20 of the processing means 2.
- the analysis means 44 constantly check that the amounts of CO 2 and CO 2 in the treated air do not exceed maximum values, preferably constituted by the values indicated in the European standard mentioned above.
- control means 48 are likely to command one or more actions informing of the dysfunction detected.
- control means 48 can then command the triggering of a audible and / or visual alarm which may be on the place of intervention of operators, a judgment of the production of air from plant 1, or a change of source of compressed air, by switching example on a backup compressor.
- the means of 48 preferably include an onboard inverter (no represented) making it possible to perform at least one of the orders mentioned above, during a decline in supply voltage of the installation 1.
- the air reserve 50 communicates with the outlet channel 26, preferably between the point Q and the probe 42, using a line 54 on which is mounted a solenoid valve 56, maintained closed during normal operation of the installation 1.
- the means of analysis 44 detect a malfunction of the installation 1, they are also able to order the closure a solenoid valve 58 mounted on the pipe input 18, and thus cut off the air intake from the means of treatment 2.
- the means 48 allow the passage of stored air in Reserve 50 through Line 54, in direction of line 26 between point Q and probe 42. Tipping to the treated air supply 50 then allows active operators to have a sufficient amount of air in their combinations ventilated, in order to leave the work site with security.
- the invention also relates to a breathable air production process suitable for use implemented by an installation 1 such as the one has just been described.
- the process comprises successively the steps of compressed air treatment and rehumidification of the treated dry air.
- the step of re-humidification of the treated dry air the distribution of dry air treated between a dry lane 22 and a rehumidification path 24, to obtain a air mixture treated at a predetermined moisture level.
