Simulation and optimization of an on- board oxygen generation system

A predictive dynamic model of a small pressure swing adsorption (PSA) air separation process was developed for the purposes of evaluation, optimization, and control of oxygen generation systems on board military aircraft. This system, that is used in military aircraft, results in a more complex cycle than the classic Skarstrom cycle, differing in the optimization conclusions and presenting specificities that cannot be ignored in the modeling and simulation. By using Oxysiv 5 as the adsorbent, an innovative optimization procedure and parametric analysis is presented for: influence of the dimensionless purge orifice discharge coefficients, dimensionless time and high pressure values.
