Method of regulating a fluid treatment plant, fluid treatment plant and application of such a plant to the production of a constituent of air

摘要

A compression machine (compressor 4 and/or pump 5) of the plant (1) for the treatment of a fluid, typically by pressure swing adsorption, comprises at least one detector (7) for detecting clearance between a moving part (6) and a stator and delivering a measurement signal used so as to vary, depending on this measurement, the operation of the plant and especially to automatically shorten the phases during which the machine is running at an excessively high speed. ;Application especially to the separation of the components of air.
