Abstract From the Canadian patent

Pressure swing absorption gas separations are conducted inside an open loop Stirling cycle apparatus which may operate as an engine refrigerator or, heat pump. Adsorbent surfaces are associated with the thermal regenerators of the Stirling cycle apparatus so that a preferentially adsorbed, gas fraction is concentrated by parametric pumping into a colder end of an engine or into a warmer end of a refrigerator or heat pump while a less, readily adsorbed gas fraction is concentrated into warmer end of an engine or into colder end of a refrigerator or heat pump. Flow control means are provided to introduce the feed gas into the working space of the apparatus and to remove separated product …
