Abstract
Molecular sieve oxygen-production technology, as a kind of air separation–oxygen production, is receiving more and more attention from every oxygen industry. The two-bed molecular sieve oxygen-production system studied in this paper can generally produce enriched gas with an oxygen concentration of more than 90%, which has the characteristics of strong applicability, high reliability, low cost and high efficiency. However, the gas oxygen concentration of a production system is greatly affected by internal and external factors such as the molecular sieve materials, atmospheric pressure and temperature environment. Through the continuous research of the molecular sieve oxygen-production system, it has been found that the oxygen cycle of the molecular sieve bed and the diameter of the washing and sizing hole also have an effect on the gas oxygen concentration of the production system. Therefore, in this paper, the two-bed molecular sieve oxygen-production device is the research object, with different oxygen-production cycles (including pressure time) and different washing and sizing hole diameter simulation experiments used to explore the molecular sieve oxygen-production system’s optimal oxygen-production cycle (including pressure time) and the rinsing sizing hole’s optimal aperture, to find the structure of the oxygen-production system and the control parameters for the oxygen-production efficiency of the law. The results show that the optimal oxygen-production cycle of the molecular sieve system is 8.0 s (pressure equalization time is 1.3 s), and the optimal diameter of the washing and sizing hole is 0.8 mm.
