How to make liquid oxygen in small air separation unit?

Author: DEAR AST

Small air separation unit is the unit that separates air into oxygen and other gases by first compressing and cooling the air into a liquid state and then using the characteristic that oxygen has a different boiling point to other gases in the air to obtain oxygen and liquid oxygen by evaporation and separation, as well as other rare gases as required.Liquid oxygen is produced using the cryogenic separation of air. The basic principle is to use low temperature distillation to condense the air into a liquid and separate the air according to the evaporation temperature of the components. The two-stage distillation tower obtains both pure nitrogen and pure oxygen at the top and bottom of the upper tower; it is also possible to take out liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen on the evaporation and condensation sides of the main cold respectively. The air separation in the distillation tower is divided into two stages: the air is separated for the first time in the lower tower to obtain liquid nitrogen and oxygen-rich liquid air; the oxygen-rich liquid air is sent to the upper tower for distillation to obtain pure oxygen and pure nitrogen. The upper tower is further divided into two sections: the upper section is the distillation section, bounded by the liquid-air inlet, to distill the rising gas, recover the oxygen component and purify the nitrogen purity. The lower section is the distillation section, which separates the nitrogen component from the liquid and improves the oxygen purity of the liquid.Liquid oxygen has a wide range of applications in the defence, metallurgical and chemical industries as well as in medical applications.

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
