Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A device for automatically detecting and removing air from a gas mixture of an organic gas and air includes calculating a saturation pressure value based on a temperature of the gas mixture in a reservoir 1 , and obtaining a pressure threshold value by adding a margin value to the saturation pressure value. When the pressure value inside the reservoir 1 is higher than the pressure threshold value, air is detected to be in the gas mixture. After this detection, a controller 5 pressurizes and introduces the gas mixture into a pressure container 2 to condense the organic gas in the gas mixture, thus producing a diluted gas mixture. Subsequently, the diluted gas mixture is introduced to a supply side of a membrane unit 3 , the organic gas in the diluted gas mixture is recovered at a permeation side thereof, and a residual gas is discharged outside of the device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A mixed air removal device for removing air from a mixture gas of an organic gas and the air, the device comprising: a reservoir that reserves the mixture gas; a pressure container; a first pressure gauge that measures a pressure inside the pressure container; a pump that supplies the mixture gas from the reservoir to the pressure container; a first piping through which the reservoir and the pump are connected to each other; a second piping t…
