In general, the liquefaction temperature of nitrogen is higher than that of oxygen, but why can the condensation evaporator between the upper and lower columns of the air separation column use gas nitrogen condensation to release heat to vaporize liquid oxygen? This is because we usually think that the liquefaction temperature of nitrogen is lower than that of oxygen under the same pressure. However, the pressure at the bottom of the upper column of the air separation unit is generally 0.149 MPa, and the pressure at the top of the lower column is about 0.58 MPa. The reason for the different pressure causes the inversion of the saturation temperature of oxygen and nitrogen. It is precisely by using this principle that the condensing evaporator can continuously provide liquid nitrogen for the lower column At the same time, it provides gas oxygen for the upper column as the rising gas to participate in fractionation.

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
