Calculation of the air discharge volume for PSA
Thread Content
Since the flow meter of our PSA is inaccurate, I want to calculate the amount of air that is released by our PSA. I don’t know how to do this calculation, so I’m seeking help. For an adsorption tower with a volume of 8.92 m3, where the pressure at the vent drops from approximately 0.042 to 0 MPA, how can this be estimated?
How large is the air intake volume? Is it oxygen production using vacuum pressure swing adsorption?
If there is no air intake during venting, it can be estimated as 8.92*（0.42-0).
Thank you. What is the principle behind this? There is a person who also subtracted 0.1; I don’t know what that means
We import at 20,000 NM/m3, and export at 15,000 NM/m3. It’s more or less like that; we use a sweeping process rather than a vacuum process. Do you have any good and accurate algorithms?
Based on the gas equation of state, PV=nRT; dividing by 0.1 is used to convert Mpa to Bar~~
If it’s to be done properly, one needs to know the equation of the adsorption isotherm and carry out detailed calculations. So, is this used for drying and removing impurities in air separation?
