Abstract
An adsorption device for gas separation with an adsorbent includes a thermally insulated container. Adsorber tubes with a given length are vertically disposed in the container for receiving adsorbent. A heating device is adjacent the adsorber tubes. Cooling tubes are disposed alongside the adsorber tubes and extend over substantially all of the given length for receiving coolant. A gas circulation device in the container generates a gas flow encompassing the heating device, the cooling tubes and all of the given length of the adsorber tubes.

Adsorption device for gas separation with an adsorbent, comprising a thermally insulated container, adsorber tubes with a given length being vertically disposed in said container, adsorbent disposed in said adsorber tubes, a heating device adjacent said adsorber tubes, cooling tubes disposed alongside said adsorber tubes and extending over substantially all of said given length for receiving coolant, and a gas circulation device in said container generating a gas flow encompassing said heating device, said cooling tubes and all of said given length of said adsorber tubes.
Adsorption system, comprising at least two parallel branches, and two adsorption devices each being connected in a respective one of said parallel branches, one of said adsorption devices functioning as an adsorber while the other of said adsorption devices is regenerated, each of said adsorption devices including a thermally insulated container, adsorber tubes with a given length being vertically disposed in said container, adsorbent disposed in said adsorber tubes, a heating device adjacent said adsorber tubes, cooling tubes disposed alongside said adsorber tubes and extending over substantially all of said given length for receiving coolant, and a gas circulation device in said container generating a gas flow encompassing said heating device, said cooling tubes and all of said given length of said adsorber tubes.
