  • 摘要: 为了明确径向流吸附器变压吸附制氧的传热传质规律并提高制氧效率,建立π型向心径向流吸附器(CP-π RFA)的气固耦合两相吸附模型,通过计算流体力学方法对能量模型、吸附热以及颗粒尺寸等因素进行了数值模拟。结果表明:单相模型在加压过程和吸附过程中床层内最高温度分别为309.19 K和311.63 K,氧气摩尔分数最高值分别为55.66%和62.65%;同等条件下两相模型在加压过程和吸附过程中床层内最高温度分别为302.27 K和305.29 K,氧气摩尔分数最高值分别为57.51%和66.02%。未考虑吸附热的加压过程和吸附过程床层内最高温度分别为293.5 K和293.9 K,氧气摩尔分数最高值分别为59.25%和72.18%;同等条件下考虑吸附热时在加压过程和吸附过程中床层内最高温度分别为302.3 K和305.3 K,氧气摩尔分数最高值分别为57.51%和66.02%。随着颗粒直径的增加,出口产品气的氧气摩尔分数逐渐下降,同时产品气流量与回收率逐渐增加,颗粒直径1.6 mm为最佳吸附剂颗粒直径。本实验获得了吸附器内部传热传质规律,为CP-π RFA用于变压吸附制氧提供重要的技术参考。

     

    Abstract: In order to investigate the heat and the mass transfer during pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for oxygen production and improve oxygen production efficiency, a gas-solid two-phase pressure swing adsorption model was established for the π-shaped centripetal radial flow adsorber (CP-π RFA). The energy model, the adsorption heat, and the particle diameter were comparatively studied using this model. The results show that the maximum temperature in the adsorbent bed during pressurization with air (PR) and high-pressure feed (AD) processes for the single-phase model are 309.19 K and 313.63 K, respectively. The highest oxygen mole fractions in the adsorbent bed during PR step and AD step using the single-phase model are 55.66% and 62.65%, respectively. Under the same operating conditions, the maximum temperature in the adsorbent bed during the PR and AD steps for the two-phase model are 302.27 K and 305.29 K, respectively. The highest oxygen mole fractions in the adsorbent bed during PR step and AD step using the two-phase model are 57.51% and 66.02%, respectively. For no-adsorption heat, the maximum temperatures are 293.5 K and 293.9 K, respectively, and the highest oxygen mole fractions in the adsorbent bed during the PR step and AD step with no-adsorption heat are 59.25% and 72.18%, respectively. However, the maximum temperature in the bed during the two steps with adsorption heat are 302.3 K and 305.3 K, respectively, and the highest oxygen mole fractions are 57.51% and 66.02%, respectively. As the particle diameter increases, the highest oxygen mole fraction of the outlet would decrease, while the oxygen flow rate and recovery would increase. The adsorbent with a particle diameter of 1.6 mm is the best size. The laws of the heat and the mass transfer in the adsorber can provide an important technical reference for CP-π RFA in the PSA for oxygen production.
