At GuanThrottleFirst of all, the conditions for closing the valve should be created: the liquid oxygen liquid level is close to the normal liquid level, and the liquid level has an upward trend. The temperature in front of section-1 valve should be kept at-155 ~ Between-165℃. The low pressure should be controlled at 0.05MPa, and the medium pressure should be less than 0.3MPa (surface pressure ).
When you start to close the valve, you should master the speed of closing the valve. If it is closed too fast, it will cause liquid suspension; if it is closed too slowly, it will cause the liquid oxygen level gauge to be too full. The speed of closing valve is based on the principle of stable liquid oxygen level. If the liquid oxygen level rises fast, the valve can be closed faster; if the liquid oxygen level rises slowly, it will close slowly. If the liquid oxygen level has a downward trend, then the valve should be stopped. If the liquid level drops quickly and the medium pressure rises obviously, the throttle valve should be opened again, and it should be shut down after the liquid level rises. Pay attention to the change of medium pressure when closing the valve. As the two valves close smaller, it is normal for medium pressure to rise. But the rising speed should not be too fast. Generally, it is better to rise about 0.1MPa within half an hour. If sometimes the medium pressure rises faster, while the liquid oxygen level does not drop temporarily or even rises, in this case, the valve can not be closed again, and it will be closed when the medium pressure is stable and the liquid level does not drop.
When starting, the liquid air and liquid nitrogen throttle valve are opened respectively 12 ~ 15 circles. At the beginning of closing the valve, close the two valves 2 circles respectively. Every 3 ~ After 5 minutes, turn it off for another 2 circles according to the situation of liquid oxygen level and medium pressure. After two valves are closed to 8 circles, each time it can only be closed at the speed of half a circle. After the two valves are closed to 6 circles, first close the liquid nitrogen throttle to 1.5 ~ 2 circles. The speed in the future should be slower, and it can only be reduced at the speed of 90 °, 60 ° and 30 °. When the liquid-air throttle is closed to 4 circles and the liquid nitrogen throttle is closed to 2 circles, it should be closed according to the analysis results of the purity of the liquid-air and liquid nitrogen. When the purity of liquid air and liquid nitrogen is close to normal requirements, first control the liquid level gauge to 1.0 ~ 1.5 kPa, and then adjust the purity of liquid air and liquid nitrogen with liquid nitrogen throttle to achieve the best working condition. At this time, the switch amplitude of the valve is only 1 ° ~ Adjust within the range of 5 °.

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.
