Centrifugal compressor is a kind of turbine compressor, with more characteristics such as handling gas volume, small size, simple structure, smooth operation, easy maintenance and gas is not oil pollution, can be used in the form of drive.

Centrifugal compressor principle of operation, the main goal of increasing gas pressure is to increase the number of gas molecules per unit volume, that is, to shorten the distance between gas molecules and molecules. In order to achieve this goal, the use of gas dynamics, that is, the use of mechanical work elements (high-speed rotary impeller), work on the gas, so that the gas in the role of centrifugal, the pressure is increased, while the kinetic energy is also greatly increased; subsequently in the expansion of the flow channel of this part of the kinetic energy and transformed into static pressure energy, and the gas pressure to further improve, which is the working principle of centrifugal compressor of small air separation unit.

Centrifugal compressors are commonly driven by electric motors, steam turbines, combustion turbines, etc.

The operation of the main engine of the centrifugal compressor is predicated on the normal operation of the auxiliary equipment, which includes: lubricating oil system, system cooling system, condensate system, electrical instrumentation system, i.e. control system, dry gas sealing system.

Dear Air Separation understands the development of science and technology innovation technical principles and process systems, has a wealth of experience and continuous innovation and development.

1. Before filling with pearlite, the water accumulated on the foundation surface of air separation unit must be removed, dried with hot air, and all manholes shall be closed. 2. When filling pearlite, all containers and pipes in the cold box should be inflated and kept at 50kPa pressure, then slightly open the valve of each meter pipeline, and all thermometers should be electrified to check whether the thermometer cable is damaged during the filling process. 3. The filled pearlite shall not be mixed with combustibles. 4. When filling with pearlite, coarse mesh or pearlite pouring device should be set at the manhole on the top of the cold box to prevent whole bag pearlite from entering the cold box. 5. After the pearlite is filled, the manhole shall be sealed.
