Author: DEAR AST

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.

The air cooling tower is the core equipment of the air separation precooling system, which is mainly used to cool and wash the high-temperature compressed air discharged from the air compressor, provide qualified low-temperature gas source for subsequent molecular sieve purification and cold box rectification, and ensure the stable operation of the whole unit. The air cooling tower adopts the countercurrent packing heat exchange structure, the tower is filled with high-efficiency packing, and the top is equipped with a spray device and a wire mesh demister. During operation, the high-temperature compressed air at 80 to 100 ℃ discharged by the air compressor enters from the bottom of the tower and flows from bottom to top; The cooling water is the normal temperature make-up water and the low-temperature chilled water prepared by the water-cooling tower, which is sprayed from top to bottom from the tower top, and the air and water are fully contacted in reverse for heat exchange.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe
