Air separation parts FAQ

The temperature condition adjustment of the cooler (or switching heat exchanger) is based on the central temperature. The "middle" mentioned here does not refer to the central position of geometric dimension, but refers to the temperature on the barrel (or switching channel) near the central air extraction or the outlet of circulation. It is also related to the location where the thermometer is installed. The purpose of temperature condition adjustment is to keep the temperature difference between cold end and hot end within the specified range. Then, why should the temperature in the middle prevail? We need to take a look at the relationship between the temperature of the middle part and the temperature difference of the cold end and the temperature difference of the hot end, and what rules the temperature changes along the height direction of the cooler (or the switching heat exchanger) follow. The temperature condition change of the cooler (or switching heat exchanger) is general...

The start-up phase of the whole low-pressure oxygen generator is that liquid empty appears first in the lower tower, and then liquid oxygen appears in the upper tower. The cold energy needed to accumulate liquid in the tower mainly comes from the expansion machine, which uses the low temperature gas after expansion to make part of the air liquefaction in the liquid purifier. But the upper tower itself can not produce liquid, it mainly depends on the liquid from the lower tower into the upper tower. In the phase of hydrops, in order to accumulate the liquid level as soon as possible, the cooling volume should be transferred to the tower as much as possible, the phenomena of overcooling, temperature difference at the hot end and cold loss increase caused by excess cooling of switching heat exchanger should be avoided. As for how to recycle and transfer the cold volume of the air expansion into the tower, whether it is by the liquid purifier to transfer the cold volume to the lower tow...

What is the role of molecular sieve in air separation equipment?

What are the impacts of scaling in the cooling system of air separation equipment and how can it be prevented?

Saturation temperature and saturation pressure are terms in gas-liquid equilibrium. If it is not filled with liquid in a sealed container, part of liquid molecules will enter the upper space, which is called "evaporation ". As the number of vapour molecules in space increases, the pressure of vapour generated by it also increases. At a certain time, the number of vapour molecules in space will not increase any more. At this time, the number of molecules leaving the liquid and the number of molecules returning the liquid from Space reach a dynamic balance, which is also called "saturated state ". At this time, the pressure generated by vapour is called "saturated pressure ". For the same substance, the saturation pressure is related to the temperature. The higher the temperature is, the greater the energy the molecule has, the easier it is to get rid of the liquid and gasification, and the corresponding saturation pressure is also higher. A certain temperature corresponds to a certai...

What are the performance requirements of air separation equipment for environmental conditions?

In the air separation plant, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbents is expressed by static adsorption capacity and dynamic adsorption capacity. The static adsorption capacity is the largest amount of adsorbed substance when the adsorbents per unit mass (or unit volume) reach the adsorption equilibrium under certain temperature and certain concentration of absorbed components, that is the ratio of the maximum adsorptive capacity (equilibrium value) that can be reached by the adsorbents to the adsorbents. The dynamic adsorption capacity is the adsorptive capacity when the absorbents reach the "conversion point" (expressed by the average adsorptive capacity per unit of absorbents in the adsorber ). Generally, it is calculated by "conversion time", that is, the time from the fluid contacting the absorbents layer to the "conversion point. "Turning effect point" is the point where the concentration of absorbed component increases obviously when fluid flows out of the absorption layer. ...

What is the purpose of liquefaction equipment in air separation plants?

Before starting, the following preparations should be done first: 1) Check whether the unit has the starting conditions (including the reason of last stop and the condition of overhaul; check whether there are obstacles around the unit; whether the starting tools, listening needles, recording tables and so on are ready); 2) Check whether the motor, electric, instrument and lighting signal are normal, especially whether the accident chain system can act correctly (including water break, low oil pressure, axial displacement, etc.); 3) oil supply lubrication system is normal (fuel tank oil level, fuel tank bottom whether the water, auxiliary oil pump and oil circuit normal); 4) conditions of cooling system and cooling water (including whether the cooler valve is flexible, water supply pressure and water volume, etc.); 5) whether various valves are flexible and easy to use, and whether they can be closed or opened as required; 6) turn the wheel before starting, check whether the rotatin...
