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.

Conventional liquid air separation plants are cooled by isothermal throttling refrigeration and expander refrigeration, LNG cold energy air separation eliminates the need for an expander and utilises the cooling capacity of LNG and isothermal throttling refrigeration. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen gas to liquefy into liquid nitrogen in a liquefier, which is fed into the lower tower, where the cold is transferred to the distillation system to pump the dirty liquid nitrogen thr...

Cryogenic air separation nitrogen production uses air as raw material, which is compressed, purified and heat exchanged to liquefy gas air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen have different boiling points and are separated by distillation to obtain nitrogen. 1. Air compression and purification The air passes through the air strainer to remove dust and mechanical impurities, then enters the air compressor, compresses to the required pressure, and then goes to the air cooler to reduce the air temperature. It then enters the air drying purifier to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons from the air. 2. Air separation The purified air enters the main heat exchanger in the air separation column, and is cooled to the saturation temperature by the reflux gas (production nitrogen gas, waste gas), and is sent to the bottom of the distillation column. The nitrogen is obtained fr
