description A gas separation device is disclosed. In particular, seal assemblies and adsorbent element constructions for a gas separation device such as a pressure swing adsorption device are disclosed. The seal assembly can be part of a rotary valve and can include a seal backer and a floating seal positioned within a bore in the seal backer. The floating seal is configured to press towards and seal against an adjacent rotor. Valve action is provided as apertures in the floating seal and rotor are brought into and then out of alignment as a result of relative rotation therebetween. The seal assembly can include two types of gas chambers to apply balanced sealing pressures over the sealing surface of the valve, one type configured to receive pressurized process gas from within the device and the other configured to receive gas from an independently controlled pressurized gas source. The adsorber elements in the device may comprise improved spacer cross support structures at the ends of wound laminate adsorbent structures. La présente invention concerne un dispositif de séparation de gaz, en particulier des ensembles d'étanchéité et des constructions d'éléments absorbants pour un dispositif de séparation de gaz, tel qu'un dispositif d'adsorption modulée en pression. L'ensemble d'étanchéité peut faire partie d'une vanne rotative et peut comprendre un support de joint et un joint flottant placé dans un trou du support de joint. Le joint flottant est conçu pour venir en compression de manière étanche contre un rotor adjacent. La vanne est active lorsque des ouvertures dans le joint flottant et le rotor sont alignées et désalignées suite à une rotation relative entre eux. L'ensemble d'étanchéité peut comprendre deux types de chambres à gaz permettant d'appliquer des pressions d'étanchéité équilibrées sur la surface d'étanchéité de la vanne, un type étant conçu pour recevoir du gaz de processus sous pression provenant de l'intérieur du dispositif et l'autre type étant conçu pour recevoir du gaz provenant d'une source de gaz sous pression commandée de façon indépendante. Les éléments adsorbants dans le dispositif peuvent comprendre des structures de support sous forme de croix d'écartement améliorées aux extrémités de structures d'adsorption stratifiées enroulées.
