Question Reply

The main dangerous and harmful factors in workshop workplace are: electric shock, mechanical injury, lifting injury, burning, falling from high places, suffocating poisoning, object strike, noise and vibration.

1. Electric shock
The electrical circuit laying is not standardized, and the grounding system is defective, electric equipment has no factors such as electric leakage protection, short circuit protection, overload protection measures, the safety distance of power supply and distribution facilities does not conform to the standard specification, the exposed parts of electric equipment have no screen protection, etc., and it is easy to cause electric shock accidents of operators.
The personnel fail to operate in violation of regulations according to the safety regulations of electrical operation, and lack the common sense of safe use of electricity orElectrical equipmentIt may cause electric shock accidents due to its own failure and other reasons.
The room and the master control machine room are equipped with cranes. If the power slide line of the crane is not well sealed or the wires are exposed, it may cause electric shock damage to the lifting workers.

2. Mechanical damage
Workshop involvedMechanical equipmentIncluding air compressor, air expansion machine, oxygen compressor, vacuum pump, circulating cooling water pump and other rotating mechanical equipment, mechanical equipment electric parts if there is a defect of protective device or the protective cover is not reinstalled after overhaul, if the operator contacts the high-speed operation carelessly and doesn't reinstall the protective cover, the operator contacts the moving parts such as flywheel and coupling in the high-speed operation carelessly, which may cause the danger of the operator's damage such as collision and involvement.

3. Lifting injury
The machine is special equipment. The cranes of the oxygen generation workshop are distributed in the main plant and the main control machine room, and the hoisting machinery is electric bridge crane.
The main risk of operation is the crane overloading, incomplete configuration of safety protection device, unstable center of gravity of the lifting object during lifting operation, overturn of lifting equipment, overturn, broken steel rope, loss of load, collision of the lifting object, etc, it can cause equipment damage and lifting injury accidents.

4. Burning (frozen)
In the process of cold process, the air distillation, argon preparation and other processes are conducted under low temperature, and the operators directly contact with all kinds of liquid, gas orLow temperature equipmentWhen, it can cause severe frostbite; when the pipeline of the equipment leaks due to corrosion and other reasons, the spraying of chilled liquid and gasification will also cause frostbite to the operators.
Preparation deoxidization reaction medium, reaction temperature 416 ℃, if equipment heat insulation damage or heat insulation effect, high-temperature equipment surface will operation caused by personnel burns.

5. Fall from a high place
If the platform, steel ladder and protective handrail are damaged and rusted when the personnel conduct production operation, inspection tour and equipment maintenance on the operation platform of workshop platform, tower equipment, storage tank and other high places, high falling injury accidents may occur.

6. Suffocating poisoning
Misoperation makes a large amount of lazy gases such as argon, nitrogen and so on be discharged into the room, and it can cause suffocating poisoning due to inhaling high concentration of distilled gas.
In the process of repair, if the replacement treatment is not complete before the equipment overhaul, the air oxygen content does not meet the standard, and the operator does not use protective equipment when entering the equipment, it may cause oxygen deficiency poisoning and suffocating; it can cause suffocating death of operators in the airtight space.

7. Object strike
During the overhaul of equipment, pipeline and valve, the workplace is narrow. If the metal tools and spare parts are not used and placed properly, the failure of coordination of the maintenance personnel when delivering metal tools, spare parts and other objects can cause the injury accident of objects;
If the rotating moving parts of the equipment have cracks or mechanical damages and are not replaced in time, the damaged parts may be thrown out due to the inertia of high-speed rotation, which may cause damage accidents caused by object striking.

8. Noise and vibration
ProductionEquipmentSuchCompressor. The equipment such as fans and pumps are relatively strong noise and vibration sources, and the noise and vibration generated during operation will cause certain occupational hazards to the operators.

The air cooling tower is the core equipment of the air separation precooling system, which is mainly used to cool and wash the high-temperature compressed air discharged from the air compressor, provide qualified low-temperature gas source for subsequent molecular sieve purification and cold box rectification, and ensure the stable operation of the whole unit. The air cooling tower adopts the countercurrent packing heat exchange structure, the tower is filled with high-efficiency packing, and the top is equipped with a spray device and a wire mesh demister. During operation, the high-temperature compressed air at 80 to 100 ℃ discharged by the air compressor enters from the bottom of the tower and flows from bottom to top; The cooling water is the normal temperature make-up water and the low-temperature chilled water prepared by the water-cooling tower, which is sprayed from top to bottom from the tower top, and the air and water are fully contacted in reverse for heat exchange.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe
