Temperature difference is the power of heat transfer. As long as there is temperature difference between two materials, they will carry out the heat or cold transfer spontaneously. The heat is always transferred from the fluid with higher temperature to the lower temperature fluid.

 

Although the heat transfer process of various heat exchangers is not identical, the heat transfer law is basically the same.

 

The following is an example of the most widely used dividing wall heat exchanger: heat is transferred from hot fluid to cold fluid through the wall and flows in the opposite direction. The whole heat transfer process is divided into three stages.

 

In the first stage, convection heat transfer: the heat flow body transmits heat to the wall surface. This process not only has heat transfer caused by the relative displacement of each part of the fluid, but also has heat conduction in the fluid, which is the comprehensive function of convection and heat conduction.

 

In the second stage, heat conduction: heat is transferred from wall 1 to wall 2 through the inner part of the wall. This process is a process of heat transfer by molecular collision inside the solid.

 

In the third stage, convection heat transfer: heat is transferred from wall 2 to cold fluid.

 

Therefore, the heat conduction process of heat exchanger is composed of convection heat conduction convection three stages and simultaneously.

In the air separation unit, low-temperature liquid is transported by centrifugal cryogenic pump. In order to ensure the reliable operation of the equipment, two sets of low-temperature pumps are generally equipped, one for use and one for standby. During normal operation, the main pump runs at full load, and the standby pump is in standby state under low load operation. Since the working medium temperature of cryogenic liquid pump is about -180°C, the working pressure is very high, and the pump body is installed in the cold box. When the pump fails, it is extremely difficult to maintain. Therefore, how to maintain the stable and reliable operation of cryogenic liquid pump is of great significance.

The brief introduction of the air filter and air compressor in this process is the same as that of the chilled nitrogen production process. 1. Cold dryer: it is an air separation equipment used to reduce the temperature of compressed air before entering the air drying purifier to extract oil and water. It usually adopts post cooler with the structure of column pipe type, casing type, cooling sheet type and so on. 2. Oil-water separator: its function is to separate the oil and moisture contained in the compressed air and make the compressed air get Primary purification. 3. Air drying purifier: Compressed air still contains certain moisture after passing through the post cooler, and its content depends on the temperature of the air. The drying process of compressed air generally adopts molecular sieve absorption method and freeze drying method. 4. Pressure conversion absorption nitrogen generation device: the adsorbents used are usually 5A Molecular sieve or carbon molecular sieve, an...
