Air cooling column start-up process

Air cooling column start-up process

Author: DEAR AST

When the starts, it is necessary to ventilate before the water pump is started.

 

The pressure of air in the column before inflation is atmospheric pressure. When the air with pressure of 0.5MPa is introduced into the column, the pressure will suddenly decrease due to the expansion of volume and the air flow speed will increase rapidly, and its impact carrying effect is very strong. At this time, if the cooling water has been sprayed, the air is very easy to take water when it is out of the air cooling column. Therefore, it is required to inflate the column first, and start the water supply spray of the water pump after the pressure increases and the air flow is stable. Secondly, if the water pump is opened first, the water level in the air cooling column is too high, even exceeds the elevation of the air inlet pipe, the resistance of the outlet pipeline of the air compressor increases, which causes the turbine air compressor to surge.

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
