If the passing capacity of the liquid-air regulating valve selected in the design is too small, or when installing, it is related to liquid nitrogenControl valveWrong replacement, or blocking of regulating valve, liquid-air adsorber and supercooler during operation, all of them can reduce the passing capacity of liquid-air. Even if the regulating valve of the liquid level is opened to the maximum, the liquid level of the liquid level will continue to rise. In order to maintain the stability of the liquid level of the lower tower, we have to adopt the method of enlarging the liquid nitrogen regulating valve to reduce the reflux liquid of the lower tower, which will destroy the normal rectification working condition of the lower tower. Because the amount of liquid nitrogen is too large, the purity of liquid nitrogen decreases, and the purity of nitrogen in the upper tower also decreases, the extraction rate of oxygen decreases, and the output of oxygen decreases. At the same time, although the oxygen purity in the liquid air has been improved, the oxygen content in the liquid in the distillation section of the upper tower decreases due to the increase of reflux ratio. Therefore, the overall result still decreases the oxygen purity of the product.


When the above situations occur, the output and quality of oxygen often fail to reach the index, so measures must be taken according to the reasons. If the passing capacity of the valve is not enough, a bypass valve can be added. When the liquid-air pipeline system is seriously blocked and normal production cannot be maintained, it has to be stopped and heated.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
