Air separation plant production standard

During the start-up phase, when the liquid volume accumulates in the condensing evaporator, the gas and liquid mixture will pass through the liquid air and liquid nitrogen throttle valves. When the throttle valve begins to close, due to the large opening of the valve, when the amount of gas and liquid mixture from the lower column to the upper column changes little, and the pressure of the lower column does not increase significantly, it means that the temperature difference of the condensing evaporator has not increased. At this time, the condensing evaporator and the surrounding insulation have been cooled to the low temperature required by the liquid accumulation stage. Due to a large amount of cold production and a large amount of gas liquefaction, the liquid evaporation in the condensing evaporator is also increased. The rising steam produced prevents the flow of liquid from the sieve plate hole, and gradually accumulates liquid on the tray, so the liquid level will drop. In ad

In the fractionating column, the separation of oxygen and nitrogen is realized through the process of two-stage distillation in the upper and lower columns. The distillation process must have ascending air and downflow liquid, and the main function of the condensing evaporator is to exchange heat between the liquid oxygen returned from the bottom of the upper column and the nitrogen rising from the top of the lower column. Condensing evaporator is an indispensable heat exchange equipment in air separation distillation system. In a sense, condensing evaporator is the link between upper column and lower column. The condensing evaporator is also called "main cooling". In the condensing evaporator, the liquid oxygen returned from the upper column absorbs heat and evaporates the gas oxygen; the rising nitrogen in the lower column is condensed into liquid nitrogen due to heat release. A part of the gas oxygen is sent out of the column as the product, and the rest is sent to the upper colu
