  • Method for controlling an adsorption phase of a gas generator and a gas generator applying such a method
    Patent number: 10456732
    Abstract: A method for controlling an adsorption phase of a gas generator, said generator comprising an adsorbent medium capable of selectively adsorbing a first gaseous component from an inlet gas flow comprising a gaseous mixture, and allowing an outlet gas flow mainly comprising a second gaseous component, said method comprising: directing the inlet gas flow through an inlet of said gas generator; measuring the outlet gas flow; determining the concentration of said second gaseous component at the outlet of said vessel; wherein the method further comprises: calculating the capacity of the generator; comparing the measured outlet gas flow with the calculated capacity; maintaining the generator in adsorption phase for a predetermined time interval, ?s; subjecting the generator to a regenerating cycle after said predetermined time interval.
