Before starting, the following preparations should be made:
1) Check whether the unit has the starting condition (including the reason of last stop and the condition of overhaul; check whether there are obstacles around the unit; whether the starting tools, listening needles, recording tables and so on are ready );
2) Check whether the motor, electric, instrument and lighting signal are normal, especially whether the accident chain system can operate correctly (including water cut-off, low oil pressure, axial displacement, etc );
3) whether the oil supply lubrication system is normal or not (whether there is water in the oil level and bottom of the oil tank, and whether the auxiliary oil pump and oil circuit are normal or not );
4) conditions of cooling system and cooling water (including whether the cooler valve is flexible, water supply pressure and water volume, etc );
5) VariousValveWhether it is flexible and easy to use, whether it can be closed or opened as required;
6) turn the wheel before starting, check whether the rotating parts are flexible and whether the shaft position indicator is changed.
Pay attention to the following items after starting:
1) whether there is abnormal sound in each part of the unit and whether the vibration exceeds the allowable value;
2) check the oil temperature rising speed of each bearing. If the temperature of the bearing rises too fast, it should be stopped immediately when it approaches the highest allowable value. Meanwhile, pay attention to the outlet temperature of the oil cooler, if it rises to the allowable range of 35 ~ 40℃, the oil heating system should be cut off, and slowly open the oil cooler water inlet valve;
3) adjust the inlet water volume of each cooler to make the medium temperature behind the cooler not exceed the allowable value.
4) adjust according to the operation requirements of air separationCompressorDischarge pressure;
5) inExpanderAfter starting, closely observe the changes of discharge pressure and inlet flow of compressor to prevent the unit from surge.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
