When the air is out of the air compressor, due to the compression, the moisture in the air is in the saturated state. After the water cooling column decreasing the temperature, the water content in the saturated state decreases, and the excess water condenses into the water. The water volume in the air cooling column increases and the water temperature rises. But not only is the temperature of the air reduced, but also the moisture content of the air. In the water cooling column, the crude nitrogen is used to cool the water. After passing through the main heat exchanger from the fractionator, the temperature of the crude nitrogen is close to the normal temperature, but it is very dry. The dry crude nitrogen contacts with the water, and a large amount of water is evaporated into the crude nitrogen by using the unsaturation of the crude nitrogen, which absorbs the heat of the water and reduces the water temperature.

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.
