The adsorption bed is contained in a stainless steel column with six thermo-resistances mounted at regular intervals on the column’s length to measure the temperature profile of the adsorbent. Feed to the column is supplied by two cylinders (not supplied), one of pure helium (He), and the other of pure carbon dioxide (CO2). The flow of each gas is measured by a mass flow meter and regulated by a pneumatic valve controlled by a PID controller. The operating pressure is measured by a pressure transmitter and regulated by a pneumatic valve controlled by a PID controller. The adsorption and desorption/regeneration process are monitored using the temperature sensors and an infra red detector to measure the composition of outlet gas. A supervision and data acquisition software (SCADA) for Win allows to control the unit via PC simply connecting the serial cable of the unit with the PC.
