Impact centrifugal typeCompressorThere are many factors of gas discharge, except that it is related to design, manufacture and installationCompressorThe main factors that can affect the gas discharge in operation are:
1) the air filter is blocked or the resistance increases, which causes the pressure of the compressor's suction to decrease. When the outlet pressure remains unchanged, makeCompressorThe pressure ratio increases. According to the performance curve of the compressor, when the pressure ratio increases, the displacement will decrease;
2) Air separation equipmentPipeline blocking, resistance increase or valve failure, cause air compressor exhaust pressure rise. Under the condition of constant suction pressure, the pressure ratio increases, resulting in the reduction of exhaust volume;
3)CompressorThe blocking of intermediate cooler or the increase of resistance will cause the reduction of exhaust volume. However, the situation of blocking in different positions is different: if the gas side resistance of the cooler increases, only the internal resistance of the machine will be increased, which will reduce the efficiency of the compressor and the exhaust volume; if the water side resistance increases, the circulating cooling water will decrease, which will make the gas cooling bad, thus affecting the next level of inhaling, makingCompressorThe reduction of exhaust volume;
4) bad sealing causes gas leakage. Including: ① internal leakage, that is, the air running between levels. Reverse the compressed gas, and then conduct the second compression. It will affect the working condition at all levels, increase the low pressure grade ratio and decrease the high pressure grade ratio, which will make the whole compressor deviate from the design working condition and reduce the displacement; ② external leakage, that is, air leakage from the shaft seal to the outer shell. Although the amount of absorption remains unchanged, a part of the compressed gas leaks out, which naturally causes the reduction of exhaust volume;
5) cooler leakage. If the first level leakage, because the water side pressure is higher than the gas side pressure, the cooling water will enter the air side channel, and will be further carried into the impeller and the diffuser by the airflow. After a certain period of time, it will cause scaling and blocking, which will reduce the air flow. If the second and third level cooler leaks, because the pressure of the air side is higher than that of the water side, the compressed air will leak into the cooling water and run away, which will reduce the displacement;
6) the decrease of the frequency or voltage of the power grid causes the motor andCompressorReduction of rotation speed and reduction of exhaust volume;
7) when the temperature of any primary suction increases and the density of gas decreases, it will also lead to the reduction of suction.

When the amount of processing air is reduced, the rising steam and reflux liquid in the upper column will be reduced, but the reflux ratio will not change. Therefore, the reduction of processing air in a small range will not affect the purity of oxygen and nitrogen, and the reduction of processing air volume will help to reduce the pressure of the upper and lower columns. However, according to the material balance, the production of oxygen and nitrogen will naturally decrease when the amount of processing air is reduced. If the amount of processing air is too small, there will be leakage on the tray. If the heat and mass exchange of the leaked liquid is not sufficient, the purity of oxygen and nitrogen will be greatly affected, and even the normal production can not be realized. Therefore, the minimum allowable load of distillation column is generally specified.
