Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a method of generating oxygen. The method comprises the steps of: intermittently guiding a stream of oxygen comprising gas through at least one adsorption chamber ( 12 ) being equipped with an oxygen separation adsorbent ( 16 ), thereby defining an adsorption mode and a desorption mode of the at least one adsorption chamber ( 12 ), and thereby enriching the oxygen comprising gas with respect to oxygen, guiding the enriched oxygen comprising gas to a primary side of a dense membrane ( 52 ), heating the dense membrane( 52 ) to a temperature at which it is permeable for oxygen, generating an oxygen flow through the dense membrane ( 52 ) to its secondary side, thereby separating the oxygen from the enriched oxygen comprising gas and forming a stream of oxygen. According to the invention, the invention further comprises the step of guiding at least a part of the generated oxygen through the at least one adsorption chamber ( 12 ) being in desorption mode. The method according to the invention allows generating oxygen in a high purity, thereby being energy saving, cost saving and being performable in a compact device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. Method of generating oxygen, said method comprising the steps of: intermittently guiding a stream of oxygen comprising gas through at least one adsorption chamber being equipped with an oxygen separation adsorbent, thereby defining an adsorption mode and a desorption mode of the at least one adsorption chamber, and thereby enriching the oxygen comprising gas with respect to oxygen; guiding the enriched oxygen comprising gas to a primary side of a de…
