PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING OR PURIFYING A FLUID

摘要

The method comprises a separation step, during which the adsorbent is cooled and the gas mixture is passed through the separation circuit, and a subsequent regeneration step, during which the adsorbent is heated and a purge gas is passed through the separation circuit. The heat transfer fluid is selected so that it undergoes a phase change during heating. The adsorbent generation method includes the adsorbent being heated using a heat exchange system through which a heat transfer fluid is circulated. The heat transfer fluid undergoes a phase change. One such method can be carried out in an adsorption purification or separation device comprising a heat exchanger for the passage of the heat transfer fluid which is intended to heat the adsorbent and a separation circuit which is reserved for the alternating passage of the gas mixture.
