Generally, the main reason for the vibration of piston type oxygen compressor is the action of alternating load. There are two kinds of alternating loads: one is the unbalanced inertia force, the other is the interference force caused by the strong gas pressure pulse in the gas pipeline caused by the discontinuous gas supply of the compressor.

 

The vibration caused by unbalanced inertia force can be eliminated and reduced from the structure of the machine itself. The specific methods are as follows: reasonably arrange the crank stagger angle; properly select the mass configuration of reciprocating parts. In addition, the basic design and manufacturing process of the compressor should also strictly comply with the technical specifications.

 

For the vibration caused by air flow pressure pulse, a buffer can be installed near the cylinder exhaust pipe nozzle; the appropriate installation position of orifice plate should be selected on the gas flow channel; the shock absorber should be set up, the pipeline should be reasonably arranged and the pipe fulcrum should be selected to avoid right angle turning.

When the demand for oxygen increases higher than the normal working condition, more liquid oxygen is extracted from the liquid oxygen storage tank, pressurized to the required pressure by the liquid oxygen pump and sent into the main heat exchanger after gasification and reheating, and the liquid oxygen stored in the liquid oxygen storage tank is consumed. At the same time, the flow of low-pressure expander will be reduced, and more cold volume will be recovered by high-pressure nitrogen and the...
