10. PSA thermal beats

As we have seen in [J 3 606] , for any calculation of adsorption capacity, it is necessary to know the current temperature, as this acts directly on the adsorption isotherm through the often non-negligible adsorption enthalpy ΔH associated with the gas/adsorbent couple. Thus, each of the PSA, VSA or VPSA processes presented in this dossier cyclically undergo not only pressure variations, but also significant temperature variations within the adsorbent beds. However, changes in the adsorber's internal temperatures are not particularly conducive to the unit's smooth...
