本考案は、圧力スイング式(以下PSAという)ガス分離装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a pressure swing type (hereinafter referred to as PSA) gas separation device.
【0002】[0002]
図2に示す空気中から酸素を分離濃縮して酸素富化ガスを製造する従来のPS Aガス分離装置は、窒素の吸着剤を内蔵し並列に配置された4塔の吸着塔1〜4 を具え、各吸着塔においては、図3に示すように、均圧(E)、自然吸気(NA )、ブロワ吸気(A)、均圧(E)、脱着(D)の工程を順次、かつ互いに位相 を異らせてくり返えし、連続的に酸素富化ガスを製造するようにしている。 The conventional PSA gas separation apparatus for producing oxygen-enriched gas by separating and concentrating oxygen from the air shown in FIG. 2 has four adsorbing towers 1 to 4 arranged in parallel and containing a nitrogen adsorbent. In each adsorption tower, as shown in FIG. 3, the steps of pressure equalization (E), natural suction (NA), blower suction (A), pressure equalization (E), desorption (D) are sequentially and mutually performed. The phase is repeated and the oxygen-enriched gas is continuously produced.
【0003】 即ち、吸着塔の自然吸気工程では、減圧状態の吸着塔内に原料空気が吸引され る。That is, in the natural suction process of the adsorption tower, the raw material air is sucked into the adsorption tower in a depressurized state.
【0004】 吸着塔のブロワ吸気工程では、ブロワ5によって原料空気を吸気塔内へ送って 加圧状態にし、吸着剤に空気中の窒素ガスを吸着させると共に、吸着塔頂部のバ ルブを開いて吸着剤を流過した酸素富化ガスが製品ガスとして取出される。In the blower intake process of the adsorption tower, the blower 5 sends the raw material air into the intake tower to make it under pressure, adsorb the nitrogen gas in the air to the adsorbent, and open the valve at the top of the adsorption tower. The oxygen-enriched gas that has passed through the adsorbent is taken out as product gas.
【0005】 吸着塔の脱着工程では、吸着塔内を真空ポンプ6又は7によって減圧(真空) 状態にして、吸着剤より吸着されていた窒素ガスを脱着して、吸着剤の再生が行 なわれる。In the adsorption column desorption process, the adsorption column is depressurized (vacuum) by a vacuum pump 6 or 7 to desorb the nitrogen gas adsorbed from the adsorbent, thereby regenerating the adsorbent. .
【0006】 吸着塔の均圧工程では、吸着塔1,2又は吸着塔3,4の塔頂部をバルブを介 して連通し、一方の塔頂部に残留する酸素富化ガスを他方の塔に回収する。In the pressure equalization step of the adsorption tower, the tower tops of the adsorption towers 1 and 2 or the adsorption towers 3 and 4 are communicated with each other through a valve, and the oxygen-enriched gas remaining at one tower top is fed to the other tower. to recover.
【0007】 前記の各吸着塔においては、塔下方に自然吸気用バルブ、ブロワ吸気用バルブ 及び脱着用バルブが設けられ、原料空気を各吸着塔の下部へ供給し、また脱着剤 から脱着された窒素ガスを各吸着塔の下部から排出するようになっている。In each of the adsorption towers, a natural intake valve, a blower intake valve, and a desorption valve are provided below the tower to supply raw material air to the lower part of each adsorption tower and desorb from the desorbent. Nitrogen gas is discharged from the lower part of each adsorption tower.
【0008】 図2において前記の各吸着塔の自然吸気用バルブをa、ブロワ吸気用バルブを b、脱着用バルブをcでそれぞれ示し、それぞれのバルブに接続される自然吸気 配管をd、ブロワ吸気配管をe、脱着配管をfでそれぞれ示す。In FIG. 2, a natural intake valve of each adsorption tower is shown by a, a blower intake valve is shown by b, a desorption valve is shown by c, and a natural intake pipe connected to each valve is shown by d and a blower intake is shown. The piping is indicated by e, and the desorption piping is indicated by f.

以上のような従来のPSAガス分離装置では、各吸着塔の下方の部分において は、死容積を少なくするためにできるだけ吸着塔に近い位置にそれぞれ自然吸気 用バルブ、ブロワ吸気用バルブ、及び脱着用バルブを配置しなければならず、ま たそれぞれのバルブと接続する自然吸気配管、ブロワ吸気配管及び脱着配管を吸 着塔下部まで導く必要があった。 In the conventional PSA gas separation device as described above, in the lower part of each adsorption tower, a natural intake valve, a blower intake valve, and a desorption valve are installed as close to the adsorption tower as possible in order to reduce the dead volume. It was necessary to arrange valves, and it was necessary to guide the natural intake pipe, blower intake pipe and desorption pipe connected to each valve to the lower part of the adsorption tower.
【0010】 従って、各吸着塔の下方の部分において、バルブ及び配管が非常に輻湊し、設 計上及び製作上多くの手間を要する不具合があった。Therefore, in the lower part of each adsorption tower, there was a problem that valves and pipes were extremely congested, which required a lot of time and labor for designing and manufacturing.
【0011】 本考案は、前記の不具合点を解消することができるPSAガス分離装置を提供 しようとするものである。The present invention is intended to provide a PSA gas separation device capable of solving the above-mentioned problems.
