A device for separating at least one component from a gas mixture, comprising at least a pair of adsorber units, each adsorber unit comprising an envelope defining an inner volume having a lower end zone and an upper end zone. There is at least one adsorbent layer between the lower and upper end zones. A first conduit has one end communicating with the lower end zone, and a second conduit has one end communicating with the upper end zone. The adsorber units of the pairs are superposed and one of the first and second conduits of each adsorber includes a vertical central tube portion. The vertical central tube portions of the pair of adsorber units are mechanically interconnected in endwise abutting relationship. The adsorber units are superposed such that the envelopes of adjacent units leave an intermediate space therebetween. The first and second conduits each have an outer portion extending out of the envelope in the intermediate space.
A device for separating at least one component from a gas mixture, comprising at least a pair of adsorber units, each adsorber unit comprising an envelope defining an inner volume having a lower end zone and an upper end zone, at least one adsorbent layer between the lower and upper end zones, a first conduit means having one end communicating with the lower end zone, and a second conduit means having one end communicating with the upper end zone, wherein the adsorber units of the pairs are superposed and one of the first and second conduit means of each adsorber includes a vertical central tube portion, the vertical central tube portions of the pair of adsorber units being mechanically interconnected in endwise abutting relationship.
A gas separation device, comprising at least two adsorber units each comprising an envelope defining an inner volume having a lower end zone and an upper end zone, at least one layer of particulate material between the lower and upper end zones, a first conduit means including a vertical tube having one end opening into the upper end zone;
