This paper presents an innovative method of optimizing energy consumption by a low-capacity adsorption oxygen generator. As a result of the applied optimization, reduction in the energy consumption of oxygen separation by about 40% with a possible increase in the maximum efficiency by about 80% was achieved. The experiments were carried out on a test stand with the use of a commercially available adsorption oxygen generator using the PSA technology. The experimental analysis clearly shows that the adsorption oxygen generators offered for sale are not optimized in terms of energy consumption or capacity. The reduction of the oxygen separation energy consumption was achieved by appropriate adjustment of the device operating parameters for the given adsorption pressure and maintaining an appropriate pressure difference between the adsorption bed and the product tank.

低容量吸附制氧机的性能优化

本文提出了一种通过低容量吸附制氧机优化能耗的创新方法。通过应用优化的结果，实现了将氧气分离的能耗降低了约40％，并将最大效率提高了约80％。实验是在试验台上进行的，使用的是使用PSA技术的市售吸附制氧机。实验分析清楚地表明，提供的吸附式氧气发生器并未在能耗或容量方面进行优化。
