Nitrogen is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic and non-flammable gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, which is chemically stable and hardly reacts with other substances. Nitrogen is often used as a protective gas in a wide range of industries.

There are several main methods of producing nitrogen. One of these is molecular sieve nitrogen in air (variable pressure adsorption), which is a method of separating nitrogen and oxygen using air as the raw material and carbon molecular sieves as the adsorbent, using the principle of variable pressure adsorption and the selective adsorption of oxygen and nitrogen by carbon molecular sieves, commonly known as PSA nitrogen production. This method is a new nitrogen production technology that was rapidly developed in the 1970s. Compared with the traditional nitrogen production method, it has the characteristics of simple process flow, high automation, fast gas production (15-30 minutes), low energy consumption, product purity can be adjusted in a wide range according to user needs, easy operation and maintenance, low operating costs, and strong adaptability of the device.

Therefore, it is quite competitive among small air separation nitrogen production equipment and is becoming more and more popular among medium and small-scale nitrogen users. PSA nitrogen production has become the preferred method for medium and small-scale nitrogen users.

For different requirements of products, Dear Air Separation has rich technology and experience in production and design, design and adapt to small air separation nitrogen production process.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
