1 air

 

A mixture of gases that exist on the surface of the earth. The density of air close to the ground is 1.29kg/m3 under standard condition. The main components are oxygen, nitrogen and argon; In terms of volume content, oxygen accounts for about 20.95%, nitrogen accounts for about 78.09%, argon accounts for about 0.932%. In addition, it also contains trace hydrogen, neon, helium, krypton, xenon and other rare gases. According to different regional conditions, it also contains carbon dioxide, water vapor, acetylene and other hydrocarbons.    

 

2 processing air

 

It refers to the raw air used to separate gas and make liquid.

 

3 oxygen   

 

Molecular formula O2, molecular weight 31.9988 (according to 1979 international atomic weight), colorless, odorless gas. The density under standard condition is 1.429kg/m3, the melting point is 54.75k, and the boiling point is 90.17k at 101.325kpa. The chemical property is very active and it is a strong oxidant. It can't burn, it can support combustion.

 

4 process oxygen for industrial use  

 

The oxygen content of industrial process oxygen produced by air separation equipment is generally less than 98%( Volume ratio)

 

5 gaseous oxygen for industrial use  

 

The oxygen content of industrial gaseous oxygen produced by air separation equipment is more than or equal to 99.2%( Volume ratio)

 

6 high purity oxygen

 

The oxygen content produced by air separation equipment is more than or equal to 99.995% (volume ratio).

 

7 liquid oxygen (liquid oxygen)

 

Oxygen in liquid state is sky blue, transparent and easy to flow liquid. At 101.325kpa, the boiling point is 90.17k and the density is 1140kg / m3. It can be produced by low temperature air separation equipment or by gaseous oxygen liquefaction.

The liquid air separation plant includes the lower tower, upper tower, condensing evaporator, argon system, main heat exchanger, subcooler, liquefier and is placed in a separate cold box. After distillation in the lower tower, high purity nitrogen is obtained at the top of the lower tower, which is reheated by the main heat exchanger and then exits the cold box and goes to the nitrogen circulation system to recover the cold from the liquid air separation plant to make liquid nitrogen. The lower ...

Temperature difference is the power of heat transfer. As long as there is temperature difference between two materials, they will carry out the heat or cold transfer spontaneously. The heat is always transferred from the fluid with higher temperature to the lower temperature fluid. Although the heat transfer process of various heat exchangers is not identical, the heat transfer law is basically the same. The following is an example of the most widely used dividing wall heat exchanger: heat is transferred from hot fluid to cold fluid through the wall and flows in the opposite direction. The whole heat transfer process is divided into three stages. In the first stage, convection heat transfer: the heat flow body transmits heat to the wall surface. This process not only has heat transfer caused by the relative displacement of each part of the fluid, but also has heat conduction in the fluid, which is the comprehensive function of convection and heat conduction. In the second
