pressure swing adsorption oxygen system
A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen system is an advanced technology that separates oxygen from other gases in the air through a sophisticated adsorption process. This system operates by using specialized molecular sieves that selectively capture nitrogen molecules while allowing oxygen to pass through. The process involves two primary vessels filled with zeolite material, which work alternately under pressure cycles to ensure continuous oxygen production. When pressurized air enters one vessel, nitrogen molecules are trapped in the zeolite material while oxygen flows through. Meanwhile, the other vessel undergoes depressurization, releasing the captured nitrogen and regenerating the zeolite for the next cycle. This innovative system typically achieves oxygen purity levels of 93-95%, making it ideal for various industrial and medical applications. The PSA oxygen system's efficiency lies in its ability to operate continuously, requiring minimal maintenance and offering reliable performance. The technology has revolutionized on-site oxygen generation, eliminating the need for traditional liquid oxygen storage and regular deliveries. Its automated control system ensures stable operation, while built-in safety features provide peace of mind for operators.
