Abstract

PURPOSE:To supply a gas stored in a product gas tank to a concn. detecting sensor more rapidly by providing a gas discharge pipe for discharging the product gas when its concn. is detected between the tank and the sensor. CONSTITUTION:An adsorbent is packed in adsorption vessels 7A and 7B. The product gas generated in the adsorption vessel is stored in a product gas tank 20. The product gas in the tank 20 is discharged through a discharge pipeline 18, and the concn. of the product gas discharged is detected by a sensor 21. A gas discharge pipe 23 for discharging the product gas when its concn. is detected is provided between the tank 20 and the sensor 21. Consequently, the gas stored in the tank is more rapidly supplied to the sensor, and the change in the concn. of the product gas in the tank is more accurately detected. The time taken from the start of the separator to the supply of the gas in the product gas tank to the downstream side is reduced in this way.

Conventional techniques generally include PSA (Pressure Swing)
The adsorption type gas separation device uses an adsorbent made of molecular sieve carbon to separate air into oxygen and nitrogen, and extracts one of them as a product gas for use. In this type of equipment, the product gas separated and generated in the adsorption tank is stored in the product gas tank, and the product gas concentration in the product gas tank is determined by branching off from the middle of the takeout pipe connected to the product gas tank. Detected by an oxygen sensor installed at the end of the branch pipe. Note that the oxygen sensor detects the oxygen concentration contained in the product gas, and since it is difficult to connect directly to a product gas tank having a pressure-resistant structure, it is provided in the middle of the extraction pipe.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in conventional equipment, product gas is supplied to the oxygen sensor by opening a valve installed in a branch pipe branching from the middle of the take-out pipe connected to the product gas tank. Therefore, the gas flow rate flowing into the oxygen sensor is 100 to 200%.
The flow rate was minute, about cc/min. Therefore, in the past, the amount of gas extracted to the oxygen sensor was too small relative to the volume of the product gas tank, and the gas concentration in the product gas tank did not match the gas concentration supplied to the oxygen sensor, causing the product gas in the product gas tank to After the concentration reached the target value, the oxygen sensor detected that the gas concentration had reached the target value after a certain time delay. Therefore,
The oxygen sensor is not stored in the product gas tank, and it takes time to detect the actual gas concentration. For example, at startup, the concentration detected by the oxygen sensor is used to supply product gas to the downstream side. There is a problem in that the wait time occurs even though the gas in the gas tank has reached the target gas concentration, resulting in a longer rise time until the product gas supply starts.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention provides an adsorption tank filled with an adsorbent, a product gas tank for storing product gas generated in the adsorption tank, and an extraction pipe for taking out the product gas from the product gas tank. and a concentration detection sensor that detects the concentration of the product gas taken out from the extraction pipe, wherein the product gas is detected between the product gas tank and the concentration detection sensor when the gas concentration is detected.
