There are self-cleaning air filter, steam turbine, air compressor, booster, instrument compressor, etc.

 

(1) Generally, with the increase of air volume, the number of filter cylinders and layers of self-cleaning filter increase, and the number of layers is also higher. Generally, it is arranged in two layers above 25000 and three layers above 60000; In general, a single compressor needs to be separately arranged with a filter at the upper air outlet.

 

(2) Steam turbine is a type of high-pressure steam expanding to do work, driving the coaxial impeller to rotate, so as to do work on the working medium. There are three types of steam turbine commonly used: full condensing, full back pressure and extraction condensing, and extraction condensing is more commonly used.

 

(3) Generally, the investment of large-scale air separation units of air compressor is single shaft isothermal centrifugal compressor. The air compressor is vented at the outlet without return pipeline. Generally, it has the requirement of minimum suction flow and anti surge. The inlet guide vane is used for flow regulation. The imported domestic units are all four stage compression and three stage cooling (the last stage is not cooled). The main air compressor is equipped with a set of water washing system to wash the surface deposits of impellers and volutes at all levels. The system is integrated with the host.

 

(4) Generally, single shaft isothermal centrifugal compressor and gear type centrifugal compressor are used in large-scale air separation unit investment, of which gear type has a greater advantage in energy consumption, especially in the case of large pressure ratio.

 

(5) There are three types of instrument gas compressors: oil-free screw compressor, piston compressor and centrifugal compressor. Due to the piston type and centrifugal type natural oil-free, there is no need for oil removal device, only the matching drying device (water removal) and precision filter (solid particles removal) are needed; The screw machine generally has two kinds of oil and no oil and then degreasing. The oil injection screw machine needs to be equipped with degreasing device and a very high precision degreasing filter to meet the process requirements; The oil-free screw adopts dry rotor or water lubrication. The advantage of this model is that it is absolutely oil-free. Air volume 500nm ³/ It is suitable to choose piston type under H; The air volume is 2000Nm ³/ It is suitable to choose screw machine or piston machine under H; The air volume is 2000Nm ³/ When the gas volume is large, the centrifugal compressor has advantages, less vulnerable parts, good maintenance and high cost performance.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
