Low-voltageAir separation equipmentLoad adjustment range and raw materialsAir compressorAdjustment performance,ExpanderThe adjustment performance,Distillation columnThe structural characteristics and other factors are related. At present, the flow regulation range of the turbine air compressor equipped with imported guide blades is 75% ~ 100%; the adjustment range of turbine expansion machine with adjustable nozzle can be 65% ~ 100%. The key is how much room for adjustment of the distillation column is. At present, using regular stuffingDistillation columnThe load regulation range can reach 50% ~ 100%, while the best adjustment range of traditional screen tower is 70% ~ 100%, no matter how low the load is, the leakage may be caused by the low speed of steam passing through the sieve hole.
When oxygen is rich and needs to reduce the output of oxygen, the output of oxygen products should be reduced first, then the air flow should be reduced correspondingly, and the inflated air volume should be adjusted according to the main cold liquid level. The liquid air and liquid nitrogen regulating valve sent to the upper tower should also be cut down correspondingly according to the rectification working condition. It should be noted that the whole operation should be completed slowly and step by step to keep the stability of the rectification working condition in the process of reduction.
If there is a liquid oxygen storage system, reducing the output of oxygen can increase the output of liquid oxygen, making it more convenient to store liquid oxygen. We can reduce the output of oxygen first, then increase the expansion air volume, and increase the amount of liquid oxygen extraction under the condition of keeping the main cold liquid level unchanged. In order to keep the stability of the rectification working condition of the upper tower, part of the expansion air can be bypass if necessary.

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.
