Air separation parts FAQ

For the pipeline with pressure, the easiest problem in the production process is the leakage at the connection flange. Once leakage is found, do not tighten the bolt under pressure. There are some reasons for the leakage in the process of operation, such as gasket damage, pipeline under thermal stress, etc. At this time, the problem can't be solved only by twisting the bolt, and often screw the Bolt hard because the leakage has not been eliminated until the bolt is broken and the high pressure gas in the pipe sprays out, causing injury accidents. There have been several factories which have suffered from the accident of Bolt fracture caused by the screw bolt with pressure and the casualty of flange plate flying out. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly abide by the regulation that the screw bolts with pressure are not allowed, and it is not allowed to hold fluke mentality and violate the operation regulations in order to seize time and catch up with tasks.

How to determine if there is a leakage inside the air separation equipment?

The air contains a small amount of water vapor, carbon dioxide, acetylene, hydrocarbon and a little dust and other impurities. It will be very dangerous to let these impurities enter the air separation plant. Solid impurities will wear the device, especially threatening the safe operation of high-speed rotating equipment. Bringing them into the heat exchanger will also pollute the surface of heat transfer, reduce the heat transfer effect; steam and CO2 will freeze and precipitate in succession under the condition of low temperature, thus blocking the gas Channel and the sieve hole of the tower plate; the accumulation of acetylene and hydrocarbon tables in the distillation column is excessive, it is easy to trigger explosion. Therefore, in order to improve the safety, reliability and economy of the unit operation, the air must be purified.

Can air separation equipment rely on condensing evaporators to accumulate liquid during normal operation?

How can air separation equipment adjust distillation conditions to increase oxygen production?

What are the requirements of the air separation equipment gas station for the surrounding air?

The low temperature valve is installed at normal temperature and works at low temperature, with a wide range of temperature variation. If the design and installation are not appropriate, it is easy to generate thermal stress or deformation. Meanwhile, the operation part of the valve is at normal temperature, and the circulation part is at low temperature. In order to reduce the cold loss, the stem is often made very long, which is easy to produce deformation and get stuck. Low temperature valve often rotates flexibly at normal temperature, but it is tight at low temperature, even can't be opened. The main reasons why the valve gets stuck at low temperature are: 1) during installation, prestress is generated due to unreasonable configuration of the valve and the pipeline; or the cold compensation ability of the pipeline is poor, and the valve position changes at low temperature; or the valve lacks support, and deformation is generated at low temperature; or the valve is not fixed pro...
