Oxigen generators
To supply oxygen gas separated from compressed air. Main features:
- Compressed air pressure: min. 6 bar
- Purity of produced oxygen: 90-95 %. The remaining gas is argon.
- Pressure of produced oxygen: 4-5 bar.
- Volume of oxygen produced:
- with a single pair of adsorbers: from 0,5 m3/hour to 6 m3/hour
- with more, than one adsorber pairs: up to 120 m3/hour. This case, adsorber pairs are connectedd paralelly to increase the capacity of the generator.
| Model |
Produced oxygen (m3/hour) |
Compressed air consumption (liter/minute) |
| O-0,5 | 0,47 | 98 |
| O-1 | 1,03 | 215 |
| O-2 | 2,1 | 440 |
| O-4 | 4,02 | 865 |
| O-6 | 6,1 | 1280 |
Generators are controlled by Siemens microprocessor based controllers (PLC). Control circuitry operates with 24 V DC. Its power consumption is only 40 W.
Generators automatically stop and start, based on the pressure of oxygen buffer tank. If the generator was not in operation for a longer period of time, the generator performs a self-cleaning cycle at startup.
Maintenance means only periodical check of compressed air filters - or, if the pressure drop is too high on the filter, the filter cartridge shall be replaced. The pressure drop is shown by a differencial pressure indicator.
Oxygen generators are designed as modular systems. The electronic and pneumatic control of each generator (from O-2 and larger modules) can operate with more than a single pair of adsorbers. Thus, if the need for oxygen gas increases after the installation of a oxygen generator, the produced volume can be simply increased by adding new pair(s) of adsorbers at modest costs. The old and new adsorbers will operate paralelly after the expansion.
It shall be considered, that only that adsorber module can be used at expansion, that has been installed previously. For example, a O-4 generator can be expanded by adding an additonal O-4 pair of adsorber, reaching 8 m3/hour production volume.
