Liquid air separation plant argon system working conditions

The raw air is passed through an air filtration system to remove dust and mechanical impurities, and the filtered air is compressed by a multi-stage turbocompressor with an intercooler to the required pressure for the process. The compressed air is cooled and cleaned by two layers of cooling water in an air cooling tower of small air separation unit. Chemical impurities in the compressed air that are soluble in water are also absorbed by the falling cooling water cleaning. The remaining impuriti...

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
