The leakage of unit or pipeline in the cold box needs removal of perlite treatment. Since it is uncertain whether there is a leakage point in the cold box, it will have a certain impact on  removal of perlite. No matter whether the leakage is liquid or air, the sand filling holes at the top should be opened first, so that the residual gas in the cold box can be slowly discharged into the atmosphere. The oxygen content of the gas in the cold box and the pressure indication in the cold box should be strictly monitored in removal of perlite process. In the process of sand stripping, it is particularly important to avoid the formation of sand free area in the middle of the cold box, so as to avoid sand storm caused by the sudden drop of pearlite sand.

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.
