Air separation unit without hydrogen to argon system

Air cooling column is a mixed heat exchange device. The function is to make the cooling water fully contact with the air and being mixed fully to increase the heat transfer area and enhance the heat transfer, usually using "packed column" or "sieve plate". The packed column is a round steel container with packing (ceramic ring, plastic ring, etc.). Cooling water is ejected from the top of the column and mixed with air flowing upward from the bottom for heat and mass exchange. Air transfers heat to the cooling water, lowering its temperature and raising its temperature. In order to prevent the generation of water droplets in the air, the raschig ring (or stainless steel wire mesh) packing separator (also known as trapping layer) and mechanical water separator (inertial separation) are usually installed on the upper part of the column. The cooling water ejected from the spray device flows downward to the packing layer through the distributor, and an overflow ring is provided to redist

Shell and tube air separation heat exchanger is the most representative wall heat exchanger. It has a long history of application and is still dominant in all heat exchangers. Shell and tube heat exchanger is mainly composed of shell, tube bundle, tube sheet and head. Most of the shell is round, and there are parallel tube bundles inside. Both ends of the tube bundle are fixed on the tube plate. In shell and tube heat exchanger, there are two kinds of fluids for heat exchange. One kind of fluid flows in the tube, and its stroke is called tube side. The other flows outside the tube and its stroke is called shell side. The wall of tube bundle is the heat transfer surface. In order to improve the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the tube, a certain number of transverse baffles are usually installed in the shell. The baffle can not only prevent the short circuit of the fluid and increase the velocity of the fluid, but also force the fluid to flow through the tube bundle man
