Is the PSA nitrogen generation adsorption cylinder considered a simple device or a type of pressure vessel?
The adsorption cylinder for PSA nitrogen generation belongs to a type of pressure vessel. .
Since the applicable ranges of “adsorption cartridges” vary, and they typically operate under pressure conditions, the parameters specified in the equipment’s user manual should be consulted for reference.
Simple pressure vessels need to meet various requirements, such as a simple structure, non-hazardous and non-damaging media, a design pressure of less than 1.6, and specific volume requirements as well
The requirements for simple pressure vessels are quite stringent: the pressure must be below 1.6, the volume below 1 cubic meter, and there are specifications regarding operating temperature, material, and type of end cap. The relevant regulations define the scope of simple pressure vessels
Ask when making the purchase and you’ll find out, or check what’s written in the Simple Pressure Vessel Regulations: lol
It depends on the size of your equipment and the design of the cylinder. Basically, it’s fine to design vessels of 1.0 m3 or less as simple pressure vessels
