Application of Argon Gas Compressor

Application of argon gas compressor

Working principle of argon compressor:

The working principle of argon gas compressor is based on the general principle of gas compressor, which is a power device that converts mechanical energy into gas pressure. In a low-temperature liquid argon tank, the top of the liquid argon will evaporate into argon gas. When the pressure exceeds 17 bar, the safety valve will open and discharge the overloaded gas. Therefore, it is necessary to recycle this evaporated argon gas. An argon compressor can be used to refill the cylinder with argon gas. Therefore, the suction pressure of the argon compressor is 5-17 bar, the filling pressure is 200-250 bar, and the flow rate is 10nm3-100nm3 or higher per hour.

1.Application in the field of 3D printing: Argon gas is mainly used for the preparation of metal powder in 3D printing. The liquid metal flow is broken into small droplets through the high-speed flow of argon gas using the aerosol chemical process to form metal powder. This process requires the use of an argon compressor to pressurize the argon gas for effective atomization.

2. Argon gas recovery system:

In the process of using argon gas, in order to reduce production costs and protect the environment, argon gas recovery systems are widely used. The system pressurizes, filters, and purifies used argon gas through a compressor, allowing it to be reused. The argon compressor plays a crucial role in this process, ensuring efficient recovery and reuse of argon gas.

3. Other industrial applications: Argon compressors are also used in fields such as low-temperature superconductivity, laser forming, powder metallurgy, hard alloys, photovoltaic crystal pulling, and scientific research. These fields have a high demand for argon gas, and require high purity and pressure of argon gas. Therefore, argon compressors are needed to meet these requirements.
