Abstract
The present invention relates to an air compressor dehumidifier for an oxygen generator, and more particularly, to provide air dehumidified to an air compressor that provides compressed air in an oxygen generator, and a compressor for making a refrigerant into a high temperature and high pressure type, and a high temperature. It consists of a condenser that converts high-pressure refrigerant to low-temperature and high-pressure, and an expansion device that expands low-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, and heat-exchanges the air through cooling air and external air into which low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant flows. The dehumidified air is configured to be sucked into the compressor, and the temperature and humidity of the dehumidified air are respectively measured, and oxygen is generated by comparing these measured values with a preset value, thereby controlling the operation of the refrigeration cycle unit. It relates to an air compressor dehumidifier for air.
Description
The present invention relates to an air compressor dehumidifying apparatus for an oxygen generator that separates nitrogen and oxygen in air to produce high purity oxygen, so that dehumidified external air can be easily dehumidified through a refrigeration cycle unit.
Today, oxygen generators are used for various purposes in various places. Most commonly, oxygen generators are used to restore fatigue accumulated in daily life of modern people by supplying oxygen to confined spaces in offices or homes.
For example, when operating a heater or an air conditioner with the windows closed in a closed room, it is known that the air in the room becomes cloudy for a short time and the concentration of oxygen is lowered. This air pollution and lowering of oxygen concentration make people in the room easily tired or uncomfortable. Therefore, air conditioning systems such as various air cleaners and oxygen generators may be installed in enclosed spaces such as indoors.
In general, oxygen generators can be classified into chemical and electrical methods, PSA and RVSA methods using zeolites, and membranes such as flat or circular hollow fibers.
Among these, in the case of zeolite method, electrical method, and chemical method, the oxygen generator (separator) needs to be replaced after a certain period of time. However, oxygen generators using membranes such as flat membranes or hollow fibers may be used for dust or other pollutants. If there is no blockage, there is an advantage that can be used semi-permanently.
As described above, the oxygen generator using the membrane separates oxygen by using the difference in the polarity of the gas to the membrane or by using the size of the gas molecules. Due to the hydrophilicity of the membrane, the water permeability is much higher than that of the oxygen through the membrane. That is, the oxygen separated through the membrane has a relative humidity three to four times higher than the air mixture supplied to the membrane.
Due to this characteristic, high humidity oxygen is condensed in the conduit for supplying oxygen and the oxygen suction device, and condensed water is generated, and the condensed water is discharged to the user side along with the high humidity oxygen. As a result, the oxygen inhaled by the user is very high in humidity and the condensed water is discharged together with the oxygen, thereby causing inconvenience to the user as well as pathological problems such as a cold.
In particular, in order to increase the flow rate and concentration of oxygen, an oxygen generating system is constructed by using a high-performance compressor. In this case, the humidity of oxygen becomes higher, and condensate is more generated in the oxygen supply line and the oxygen suction device. There is a problem that it is facilitated.
For the treatment of such condensate, a dehumidification method using a dehumidifying agent such as adsorption / absorption has been proposed. However, the dehumidification method has an advantage that the initial dehumidification effect is good, but the dehumidification performance is greatly reduced in the long-term use, there is a limit in the application of high regeneration and maintenance costs.
Alternatively, by installing a buffer tank configured separately on the flow path of the oxygen suction headset or the oxygen suction stand, the user stores the condensed water in the pipe separately to the oxygen discharge port. A method for minimizing the discharge of water droplets has been proposed. However, even in the case of the dehumidification method, it is inconvenient for the user to check the amount of water accumulated in the buffer tank at any time and throw it away. In addition, when a certain amount of water is filled in the buffer tank or the humidity in the buffer tank is higher than the saturated humidity, the oxygen discharge port There is a limit in the dehumidification effect, such as the phenomenon of re-ejection of moisture through.
Therefore, before the introduction of external air provided for oxygen generation, the development of an air compressor dehumidifying apparatus for an oxygen generator that can be easily and easily dehumidified and used in advance is urgently required.
The present invention is to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to easily and easily dehumidify the air provided from the outside when producing oxygen by separating nitrogen and oxygen from the air, to increase the life of the adsorbent in the oxygen generating unit By lowering the temperature of the air flowing into the air compressor, the heat load of the air compressor is lowered, and the humidity and temperature of the dehumidified air drawn into the air compressor are compared with a preset value to determine whether to drive the cooling cycle unit. The present invention relates to an air compressor dehumidifying apparatus for an oxygen generator which minimizes waste of power and enables the use of low temperature compressed air from an air compressor.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be described hereinafter and will be understood by the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, the objects and advantages of the present invention can be realized by means and combinations indicated in the claims.
The present invention as a means for solving the above problems, the
As described above, the present invention has the effect of easily dehumidifying and supplying the external air provided in the air generating unit.
In addition, the present invention by separating the oxygen from the dehumidified air, the dehumidifying agent for separating oxygen and nitrogen in the oxygen generating unit, it is possible to prevent in advance to reduce the oxygen generation efficiency by reducing the lifetime due to moisture in the air It has an effect.
In addition, the present invention compares the temperature and humidity of the supplied dehumidified air with a predetermined value, thereby selectively driving the cooling cycle accordingly, thereby reducing the power supply for driving the cooling cycle.
In addition, the present invention can lower the temperature of the dehumidified air flowing from the air compressor can ultimately lower the heat load of the air compressor, and at the same time has the effect of lowering the temperature of the compressed air to be delivered to the adsorption tower.
