RANCANG BANGUN ALAT PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION (PSA) DOUBLE BED SEMI OTOMATIS BERBASIS MIKROKONTROLER DENGAN MEDIA ADSORBEN ZEOLIT SINTESIS 13X
Daftar Isi:
- Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) tool is used to increase oxygen quality by adsorption process. One of the adsorbent media can be used is zeolite. Zeolite is an aluminosilicate tetrahydrate crystalline mineral. This research was conducted to improve the quality of oxygen to help in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic using PSA tool with 13X Zeolite as adsorbent media. The purpose of this research is to design and bulid a semi-automatic double bed pressure swing adsorption (PSA) device based on a microcontroller with 13X zeolite adsorbent media. The research methodology used is the method of designing Pahl and Beitz. The result of this research is the design of pressure vessel that is adsorber tank and oxygen tank, and the presentation of oxygen was generate. The dimentions of the pressure vessel’s parts is such as shell diameter 228.24 mm, shell height 684.72 mm, head height 57.06 mm, and the wall thickness 3.2 mm. The capacity of adsorber tank is 1.714 kg and oxygen tank capacity is 30.812 liters. PSA tool is tested for four times with the average of the presentation oxygen was generate is 32.55%.
