Abstract
The present invention refers to an oxygen separation device () for a pressure swing adsorption system. In order to provide at least one of improved maintenance behavior, longer lifetime and improved energy consumption, the oxygen separation device () comprises a gas inlet () at a primary side for guiding a flow of oxygen comprising gas into the oxygen separation device () and a gas outlet () at a secondary side for guiding a flow of oxygen enriched gas out of the oxygen separation device (), an oxygen separation membrane () comprising an oxygen separation sorbent being capable of separating oxygen from an oxygen comprising gas by sorbing at least one component of the oxygen comprising gas apart from oxygen, and a support structure () for supporting the oxygen separation membrane (), wherein the support structure () comprises a plurality of support bars () being fixed to the oxygen separation membrane (). The invention further relates to an oxygen separator () and to a method of generating an oxygen separation device () for a pressure swing adsorption system.
