Gas separation

Gas separation
The process of gas separation, purification or purification belongs to the same concept in physical essence, which is to change mixture into pure substance. The principle of gas separation is to use the properties of mixture to achieve local separation of mixture through condensation or evaporation process. Partial condensation is suitable for the situation that the boiling points of the components in the mixture are quite different. If the boiling points of the components are close, it is difficult to achieve the separation requirements by using the partial condensation method. At this time, the gas separation needs distillation, and the combination of multiple partial evaporation and partial condensation becomes the distillation process. The distillation process can separate oxygen and nitrogen from the air.

In the air separation unit, the water cooling column is a hybrid heat exchange equipment which uses the crude nitrogen to reduce the temperature of the cooling water from the air cooling column after cooling air, so as to provide the air cooling column with recycling. In the water cooling column, the crude nitrogen from the reversible heat exchanger (or accumulator) is 27-28 ℃ and the relative humidity is about 30%, while the temperature of the cooling water from the air cooling column is 35-45 ℃. When the crude nitrogen meets the hot water sprayed, it absorbs heat, thus reducing the water temperature. Generally, the structure of water cooling column is packed column, cyclone plate column and sieve plate column.

The reflux liquid in the upper column of the distillation column is throttled by the lower column to the liquid air and liquid nitrogen of the upper column, and the reflux ratio of the upper column is regulated by the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. When the liquid air and liquid nitrogen pass through the throttle valve, the pressure will decrease, and the corresponding saturation temperature will also be reduced. If the supercooling degree of liquid is not enough, some liquid will be vaporized. The higher the gasification rate is, the lower the reflux ratio of the upper column is, and the purity of nitrogen is affected. Therefore, in order to improve the supercooling degree of the liquid nitrogen in the night sky through the throttle valve, a subcooler is generally set up to increase the supercooling degree of the liquid nitrogen in the liquid air.
