What aspects should be paid attention to in safety of material selection for air separation unit design?

The design of air separation unit includes the manufacturing design of equipment suppliers and the factory design of users. All kinds of safety standards shall be strictly implemented, including equipment manufacturing, building design, fire prevention, shockproof, ventilation, power distribution, lighting, lightning protection, anti-static, pressure vessel, pressure pipeline, gas cylinder, special equipment safety, low-temperature liquid storage and transportation, various materials, oxygen station design Hydrogen station design and a series of safety standards. Users can also put forward safety technical requirements for equipment manufacturing suppliers according to their own conditions.

 

The oxygen flow rate in the oxygen pipeline of an air separation unit is an important parameter related to safety. It should be determined according to the material of the oxygen pipeline, the oxygen pressure and whether it is "impact occasion" (the position where the oxygen flow direction changes suddenly or produces vortex, thus causing the impact of the entrained particles in the oxygen on the oxygen pipe wall, such position is called "impact occasion"). The selection of oxygen pipeline material is also a key safety issue, which is directly related to whether the oxygen pressure and location are easy to generate excitation energy, and cannot reduce the standard requirements. Oxygen pipe fittings, elbows, reducers, tees, flanges, threaded packing options are strictly specified. The oxygen filter has strict regulations on the shell, filter material and filter aperture. Special oxygen valve should be used for oxygen valve, which can not be replaced at will. The material, type and operation mode of oxygen valve are related to oxygen pressure, caliber and operation frequency. All kinds of safety regulations, specifications, procedures and standards, especially mandatory standards and clauses, must be strictly implemented.

 

It is very important to select the design and manufacturing units with rich design experience and various design qualifications. Kaifeng DEAR Air Separation Co., Ltd. has achieved fine, perfect, strict and safe design in terms of material selection for equipment manufacturing according to actual requirements and specific conditions, strengthened design review, strengthened equipment selection, professional ordering and equipment supervision, so as to ensure high quality requirements of equipment.

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

In the field of air separation, entropy is the core thermodynamic parameter to measure the energy quality and irreversibility of the system, which directly determines the energy consumption level and operation efficiency of the unit. Entropy, with the symbol s, is essentially a measure of the degree of chaos and energy unavailability of a system, in kj/(kg ・ K). The second law of thermodynamics clearly states that the total entropy of an isolated system only increases but does not decrease, that is, the principle of entropy increase. The higher the entropy, the lower the energy quality, and the more difficult it is to convert into cold energy or useful work; The smaller the entropy, the more orderly the energy, and the more sufficient the available energy. The essence of air separation unit is the combination of cryogenic refrigeration and distillation separation, and the whole process is closely related to entropy. The ideal reversible process is an isentropic process, and the entropy
