<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gas separator which is capable of easily performing the maintenance management of a plurality of compressors. <P>SOLUTION: In the gas separator 1 equipped with a plurality of compressors 2A-2C to discharge air by compression, an air tank 5 to store compressed air discharged from the compressors 2A-2C, a plurality of adsorption tanks 10A-10C which conducts the adsorption step in order by separating one of gases among the compressed air sent from the air tanks 5 charged with an adsorbent inside to produce a product gas from other gases, and a control means 20 to control the operation of the compressors 2A-2C, the control means 20 causes a plurality of adsorption tanks 10A-10C to conduct the adsorption step in order and then controls the operation of the adsorption tanks so that one of compressors among the compressors 2A-2C is allowed to operate for the longest time, and other compressors are allowed to operate for a shorter time than one of the compressor during the adsorption step of one of adsorption tanks. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
