It should contact with the front and rear processes when the piston compressor is ready to stop, we should pay attention to the following sequence: first, cut off the gas supply slowly. In order to prevent the outlet pressure from rising after the gas supply is cut off, open the vent valve at the same time. For the oxygen compressor, the vent valve should be opened slowly, because excessive opening may produce static electricity and cause fire. Then, stop the motor. After the motor stops, turn off the circulating oil pump, grease injector motor and cooling water valve. However, there are also exception cases. For example, in case of emergency shutdown, in order to save time and prevent the accident from expanding, the power supply can be cut off immediately to stop the compressor with load.

Air separation unit is a kind of unit that takes air as raw material, transforms air into liquid by low temperature cryogenic method which compresses and circulates air, and then gradually separates oxygen, nitrogen, argon and other inert gases from liquid air by distillation. At present, the air separation unit produced in China has many forms and types. There are unit for the production of gaseous oxygen and nitrogen, as well as unit for the production of liquid oxygen and nitrogen. However, there are four types of basic processes: high pressure, medium pressure and low pressure, and full low pressure process. The production scale of air separation unit in China has developed from the original oxygen generator which can only produce 20m³/ h (oxygen) to the current large-scale air production capacity of 20000 m³/ h, 30000 m³/ h and 50000 m³/ h (oxygen). The air separation unit can be divided into 5 basic systems in terms of process 1. Impurity purification system: the mechani
