Distillation is using the different boiling points of the two substances to condense the mixed steam and vaporize the mixed liquid repeatedly to achieve gas separation.

 

For a mixed liquid composed of two substances with different boiling points, when the heat absorption part evaporates, the volatile components will evaporate more, while the mixed steam will give off heat and partially condense, the non volatile components will condense more. If the saturated steam with higher temperature is mixed with the saturated liquid with lower temperature, the steam will release heat and partially condense, and the liquid will absorb heat part of it evaporates. If after a round of partial evaporation and partial condensation, the steam and liquid with higher concentration will contact with the steam and liquid with different temperature respectively, and then partial condensation and partial evaporation will occur again. This process will be repeated for many times, and finally gas separation will be achieved. The whole process is called distillation.

The most common failure of the liquid oxygen pump is the leakage of the seal. For the structure of mechanical seal, the key is the bad contact of the sealing surface of the dynamic and static ring of the friction pair. It is related to the grinding quality of sealing surface, the assembling quality of pump shaft and bellows, and the material of friction pair. For the labyrinth type seal structure, it is related to the adjustment of the seal clearance and the pressure of the seal gas. Other faults and solutions are as follows: 1) the pump can't start: the current is blocked. The circuit should be rechecked to switch on the current; the rotor gets stuck or the gap is too small. The pump should be removed for inspection and the clearance should be adjusted. 2) no drainage after starting: the steering of the pump is opposite. Check the motor steering, change the power wiring; the pump is not fully precooled, gas is generated. The pump should be stopped and fully precooled again; the inl...
