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.

The liquefaction of gases can be divided into forward and reverse cycles. The forward cycle process is the absorption of heat from the higher temperature external heat source and the release of heat to the lower temperature external heat source. The reverse cycle is when the mass draws heat from a lower temperature external heat source and releases it to a higher temperature external heat source. The forward cycle converts heat energy into mechanical energy and the reverse cycle converts mechani...

Distillation is using the different boiling points of the two substances to condense the mixed steam and vaporize the mixed liquid repeatedly to achieve gas separation. For a mixed liquid composed of two substances with different boiling points, when the heat absorption part evaporates, the volatile components will evaporate more, while the mixed steam will give off heat and partially condense, the non volatile components will condense more. If the saturated steam with higher temperature is mixed with the saturated liquid with lower temperature, the steam will release heat and partially condense, and the liquid will absorb heat part of it evaporates. If after a round of partial evaporation and partial condensation, the steam and liquid with higher concentration will contact with the steam and liquid with different temperature respectively, and then partial condensation and partial evaporation will occur again. This process will be repeated for many times, and finally gas separation
