Cooling capacity balance of air separation cold box

Cooling capacity balance of air separation cold box

Question Reply

During the normal operation of the air separation plant, the temperature of each part of the cold box should be kept in balance. However, due to the temperature difference at the hot end of the heat exchanger and the possibility of no heat transfer between the cold box and the environment, and some large-scale air separation plants may produce a small amount of liquid products, which will cause heat loss. Therefore, to supplement the lost cooling capacity through expander and throttling, we paid electric energy to get the cooling capacity of expander. Why can throttling produce cooling capacity? This is because the pressure decreases after throttling, and the throttled liquid air and liquid nitrogen are saturated liquid. The pressure drop naturally causes the saturation temperature to decrease. In order to maintain its saturation state, part of the liquid is gasified to absorb heat.

At present, there are two types of common condensing evaporators in domestic air separation units, plate fin condensing evaporator and tubular condensing evaporator. Tubular condensing evaporator is divided into three types: long tube, short tube and coil. The long tube and short tube are all in row. The tube is made of red copper and the tube sheet is made of brass. It is generally used in small and medium-sized air separation plants. Coil type is generally used for auxiliary condensing evaporator. Because there is no fixed liquid level in the coil, the heat transfer coefficient is small, so it has been gradually eliminated. The plate fin condenser evaporator is made of all aluminum structure, and the plate unit is arranged in vertical star shape. Its characteristics are compact structure, light weight, small volume and easy to manufacture. It is widely used in large and medium air separation plants. Due to the gradual enlargement of the air separation unit, the heat excha
