At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we believe that understanding the materials we utilize is key to unlocking their full potential. Today, we focus on the 13X-HP molecular sieve, a specialized adsorbent vital for the efficient production of medical-grade oxygen, particularly within the context of oxygen concentrators and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems.

The 13X-HP molecular sieve is a synthetic zeolite, a crystalline aluminosilicate with a specific pore structure. Its 'X' designation refers to its crystal structure, and the 'HP' signifies 'High Performance,' denoting its advanced capabilities. The nominal pore diameter of 10 angstroms allows it to selectively adsorb molecules with critical diameters up to this size. What sets the 13X-HP apart is its engineered high nitrogen adsorption capacity and superior selectivity for nitrogen over oxygen. This characteristic is the cornerstone of its effectiveness in oxygen generation.

When considering the purchase of molecular sieves for oxygen concentrators, several technical parameters are critical. These include bulk density, crushing strength, static water adsorption capacity, and the crucial N2/O2 separation coefficient. The 13X-HP molecular sieve typically exhibits a bulk density of around 0.62 g/ml, a crushing strength of ≥30 N/piece, and a static water adsorption of ≥28% (at 25°C, 50% RH). Its N2/O2 separation coefficient, often cited as ≥3 or higher, is a direct indicator of its ability to efficiently separate oxygen from air.

The primary application for 13X-HP molecular sieves is in PSA and VPSA oxygen generators. These systems operate by cycling between adsorption and desorption phases, using pressure changes to concentrate oxygen. The sieve's ability to rapidly adsorb nitrogen during the adsorption phase and then efficiently release it during the desorption phase is crucial for the continuous operation of these devices. The longevity of the sieve, often measured by its attrition resistance, also plays a significant role in the overall cost-effectiveness and reliability of the oxygen concentrator.

For end-users and manufacturers alike, understanding the nuances of different molecular sieve grades can lead to significant improvements in product performance and user satisfaction. When seeking to buy 13X-HP molecular sieve, it’s important to partner with a reputable supplier who can provide consistent quality and detailed technical support. The competitive landscape of oxygen concentrator components means that selecting the right molecular sieve is a strategic decision that impacts everything from oxygen purity to the device's lifespan. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers a range of high-quality adsorbents designed to meet these demanding requirements, ensuring optimal performance for your oxygen generation needs.
