Water cooling towerIt is a hybrid heat exchanger. The relatively high temperature cooling water (about 35℃) from the air cooling tower flows down from the top spray, and the relatively low temperature sewage nitrogen (about 27℃-27℃) from the switching heat exchanger) the bottom-up flow, the direct contact between the two, not only heat transfer but also mass transfer, is a relatively complex heat transfer process. On the one hand, because the temperature of water is higher than that of sewage nitrogen, there is heat which is directly transmitted from water to sewage nitrogen to cool it down; on the other hand, due to the relatively dry sewage nitrogen, the relative humidity is only about 30%, therefore, the molecules of water can continuously evaporate and spread into the dirt and nitrogen. However, the evaporation of water needs to absorb the latent heat of vaporization. Taking away the heat from the water makes the temperature of the water lower continuously. This phenomenon is like putting a cup of hot boiled water in the air to cool down. Hot boiled water contacts with the air. On one hand, it transmits heat directly (or through the container wall) to the air, on the other hand, it steams, steam and spread the molecules of water into the air to take away the heat (latent heat of vaporization), making the hot boiled water cool down continuously. It must be pointed out that the moisture absorption of sewage nitrogen is the main factor to cool the water, so the relative humidity of sewage nitrogen is the key to influence the cooling effect. This is also the reason why the outlet temperature of cooling water may be lower than the inlet temperature of sewage nitrogen.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
