There are several considerations for the maintenance of the oil cooler as follows.

1.The cooling water is purified fresh water.

2.To prevent scaling and improve the heat transfer coefficient, the cooling water temperature should be as low as possible and the water flow rate should be as large as possible.

3.In the cold season, in order to prevent the cooler heat transfer tube from freezing and cracking, the remaining oil and water in the cooler must be drained when it is out of use.

4.When the cooler is out of use for a long period of time, the oil side should be filled with (0.02 to 0.02) water. 02 a 0 . 04MPa) nitrogen gas.

5.Due to heat transfer tube wall dirt, oil cooler of long-term work led to heat transfer performance decline, must be regularly out of service cleaning, cleaning cycle depending on water quality, generally 6 ~ 12 months cleaning once, cleaning methods: the water side using clean high-speed water rinse, front and rear cover and heat transfer tube wall, can also use mechanical methods to clean the heat transfer tube wall, and then blow dry with compressed air; oil side using less than 0 . 5MPa trichloroethylene solution rinsing, solution flow direction and oil flow direction opposite, then rinse with water, and finally must use compressed air blowing dry. After the cleaning is completed, the air tightness test must be checked, and the water pressure test must be carried out before the small air separation unit can be put into operation.

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
