Air separation unit is the unit for producing air separation. A device that separates air from oxygen and gases.

 

The operation principle can be divided into the following systems:

 

  1. The power system compresses the air into the unitthrough the air compressor

 

  1. Purification system, the compressed air through the air cooling system, through the contact heat exchange to reduce the temperature, washing

 

The acid substances and harmful impurities in the air are removed by molecular sieve purification system, and the harmful substances such as water, carbon dioxide, acetylene, propylene, propane and nitrous oxide in the air are removed.

 

  1. Refrigeration system, through expansion refrigeration, follow the refrigeration cycle

 

  1. Heat exchange system, through the refrigeration system and heat exchange system, the heat exchanger mainly uses aluminum plate fin heat exchanger

 

The device.

 

  1. Distillation system is the core of air separation plant, which realizes the separation of various gases

 

Separation.

 

  1. Transportation system, produced oxygen and nitrogen and other gases, have various specifications of oxygen and nitrogen compression

 

Conveyor pipe.

 

  1. Liquid storage system, by the tank storage liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen and other products, with cryogenic liquid pump vaporizer.

 

The air separation unit is such an operation, through the compression cycle deep freezing method to change the air into liquid, and then through distillation and gradually separate from the liquid air to produce oxygen, nitrogen, argon and other inert gases.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
