Air sent to the upper column for expansion

Air sent to the upper column for expansion

Author: DEAR AST

The gas and liquid on the upper tray are saturated, so it is better that the expanded air sent to the upper tray is also saturated, even with a small amount of liquid. However, due to the limitation of the structure of the expander, the air can not reach the saturation state at the outlet of the expander, and no liquid can be produced, otherwise the expander will have a liquid hammer accident, causing damage to the expander, so there is a certain degree of superheat in the expansion air sent to the upper column.

In the process of operation, especially in the start-up and shutdown of the air separation unit, one-way force should be avoided on the instrument. During the start-up of the equipment, close the high pressure and low pressure valves firstly, then open the balance valve, and then slowly open the high pressure (or low pressure) valve, so that the measured medium can enter the positive (negative) pressure chamber of the transmitter. If the liquid is to be measured, the gas in the positive (negative) pressure chamber should be discharged from the upper vent. If the gas is measured, drain the liquid accumulated in the positive (negative) pressure chamber from the lower drain screw hole. After discharging the gas (liquid), close the balance valve, and then open the valve on the other side. When the equipment is shut down, the high pressure (or low pressure) valve should be closed first, then the balance valve should be opened, and then the valve should be closed on the other side.
