Newly installedFractionating towerBefore driving and returning to work after stopping for a long time, it must be thoroughly heated and blown off. After being put into operation, whenFractionating towerWhen the failure of liquid suspension can not be eliminated, or the pressure difference before and after the heat exchanger pressure at the end of the operation period is more than 0.5MPa, or the purity of oxygen and nitrogen and the output decrease, it should be heated and blown off.
First of all, make preparations before heating:
1) discharge the liquid in the tower;
2) dismantle the flow meter and thermometer at the outlet of oxygen, nitrogen and distillation, dismantle the upper and lower joints of the liquid air and liquid oxygen level gauge, and dismantle all the pressure gauges except the low pressure gauge;
3) close the high pressure air General inlet valve, joint-1 valve, oxygen and nitrogen products outlet valve and heating Inlet general valve;
4) push openExpanderThe top rod of inlet and outlet valves;
5) openFractionating towerAll through valves, throttle valves, analysis valves, blow-off valves, upper and lower valves of the liquid level gauge, pressure gauge valves and heating valves on the barrel and shell;
6) fill up distilled water of the heating furnace.
The operation of heating is as follows: startAir compressor, When the pressure of the purifier rises to the normal working pressure, slowly open the heating main inlet valve, and use this valve to control the pressure of the purifier under the normal working pressure. After blowing with dry air for half an hour, switch on the heating furnace and control the outlet air temperature of the heating furnace to 70 ~ Between 80℃. During heating, the temperature of each outlet should be adjusted frequently. Close the outlet valve with high temperature a little smaller, and open the outlet valve with low temperature a little bigger, and pay attention to that the upper tower pressure should not be greater than the normal working pressure at any time. When the outlet temperature is higher than room temperature (15℃ in summer and above 5℃ in winter), heating can be stopped after the gas is dried. 0.5 before heating ends ~ 1 h, each throttle valve stem should be pulled out to blow off, and the impurities in the screw thread of the valve stem and the moisture in the valve sleeve should be removed to prevent the flexible rotation during normal operation.

In the liquid air separation plant, the cooled refrigerant goes to the air machine through the refrigerant delivery pipeline, and the intercooler cools the compressed air to around 10°C, improving the efficiency of the air compressor and reducing the energy consumption of the air compressor. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen to recycle and utilise the CNG cold through a heat exchanger, which in turn liquefies the air to transfer the cold to the liquid air separation plant, an...

The plant operation cycle between two large heating is related to many factors. From an operational point of view, this mainly depends on when the air passage of the main heat exchanger is blocked. The main reason for the blockage is that the moisture and carbon dioxide content in the air entering the unit exceeds the standard, which accumulates and freezes in the main heat exchanger until it is blocked. The abnormal operation of molecular sieve purification system will shorten the operation cycle of the unit. It is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. The molecular sieve adsorption bed is short circuited. In the process of operation, due to the unstable gas velocity control or switching, the pressure difference between the two tanks is too large, which will affect the bed layer, make the molecular sieve bed uneven and make the bed layer short circuit. In serious cases, the dust screen of the adsorber will break and the molecular sieve powder will enter the heat exchanger c
