Abstract
In a "vacuum" type cycle, the depressurization of a first adsorber at the high pressure of the cycle is effected by placing it in communication with the outlet of a second adsorber at the low pressure of the cycle. This communication takes place simultaneously with countercurrent pumping in a first stage for the second adsorber and in a second stage for the first adsorber, the recompression to the high pressure of the cycle being effected by production gas. Used for the production of oxygen from air.
