Abstract

PURPOSE:To control variation of generated gas pressure by adding a feed forward signal to make a regenerated gas pressure regulating valve open at the time of completing the regenerating process of an adsorption tower and also adding a feed forward signal to make said valve close at the time of starting the regenerating process. CONSTITUTION:Changeover of the adsorption process and the regenerating process of adsorption towers 1 and 2 is carried out by opening and closing selector valves 3A, 3B and 4A, 4B and also a selector valve 5 for pressurizing by means of a signal issued from a changeover control device 7. Since regenerated gas is discharged out of a pressure regulating valve 6 while the selector valves 4A and 4B are closed, the variation of regenerated gas pressure can be minimized by adding a feed forward signal to make the pressure regulating valve 6 open at the time of the regenerating process of an adsorption tower and a feed forward signal to make the pressure regulating valve 6 close at the time of starting the regenerating process respectively to an output signal of the pressure regulating gage.

In the above conventional technology, no consideration is given to pressure fluctuations accompanying sudden changes in the flow rate of the regeneration gas, and as the regeneration gas stops flowing at the end of the adsorption tower regeneration process, the pressure rises rapidly and the regeneration occurs at the start of the regeneration process. When gas begins to flow, a phenomenon occurs in which the pressure rapidly drops. This pressure fluctuation is PI
When adjusting only by the D control, there is a problem in that the deviation of the pressure from the specified value is large, causing pressure fluctuations in the main body of the air separation device.

Add the feedforward amount to the controller output value at the end of the regeneration process. Further, at the start of the regeneration process, the feedforward amount is added to the adjustment needle output value so that the valve opening degree returns to the valve opening at 7 hours at the end of the old regeneration process. As described above, delays in control can be prevented and fluctuations in regeneration gas pressure can be reduced.
