摘要: 快速(真空)變壓吸附循環周期較短,床層壓力周期性變化快,使吸附床內流動及傳熱傳質特性變化較大,本文研究吸附及解吸壓力對快速變壓吸附制氧床內速度及循環性能的影響.快速變壓吸附(rapid pressure swing adsorption,RPSA)循環中原料氣充壓階段氣流速度遠大于順流的氣體流速極限值,快速真空變壓吸附(rapid vacuum pressure swing adsorption,RVPSA)循環中原料氣充壓階段氣流速度略大于順流的氣體流速極限值,而RPSA循環和RVPSA循環中放空降壓階段氣流速度均較大.在所研究的吸附和解吸壓力范圍內,RPSA循環和RVPSA循環中氣體溫度在循環周期內變化均約為10℃,而RVPSA循環中氣體溫度在循環周期內溫度梯度更大.RPSA循環中吸附壓力越高,氧氣回收率越高,床層因子越小;而RVPSA循環中解吸壓力越低,氧氣回收率越高,床層因子越小.Abstract: Rapid(vacuum) pressure swing adsorption(RPSA or RVPSA) is featured by short cycle time and quick pressure change,which may lead to great variations of flow and mass and heat transfer in the adsorber. The effects of adsorption and desorption pressure on the velocity and cycling performance in an oxygen-production RPSA bed were investigated in this paper. The results show that during the feed pressurization(PR) step in the RPSA process,the up-flow velocity is far larger than the limit value,and slightly larger than it for the rapid vacuum pressure swing adsorption(RVPSA) process. During the blow-down step in both RPSA and RVPSA,the down-flow velocity is greater than the limit value. In comparison to RPSA,RVPSA exhibits a similar gas temperature change around 10℃ but a larger gas temperature gradient. The bed size factor can be effectively reduced with increased oxygen recovery by increasing the adsorption pressure for RPSA,while by lowering the desorption pressure for RVPSA.
