Nitrogen is the main component of air, accounting for about 78% of air. With the progress of science and technology and economic development, the application of nitrogen is expanding and has penetrated into many industrial sectors and daily life.

There are several main methods of producing nitrogen. One of them is liquid air separation nitrogen, which is a traditional method of nitrogen production and has a history of nearly decades. It uses air as a raw material, compresses it, purifies it and then uses heat exchange to liquefy the air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, using the different boiling points of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen (at 1 atm, the boiling point of the former is -183°C, the latter is -196°C), through the distillation of liquid air, so that they are separated to obtain nitrogen.Large air separation and liquid air separation of nitrogen is characterised by high gas production, high purity of the product nitrogen, and can be stored in liquid nitrogen storage tanks, suitable for large air separatio industrial nitrogen production.

The current large air separation plant production of oxygen and nitrogen gas-liquid products, especially products requiring high purity, low-temperature separation method has an irreplaceable competitive advantage, and only low-temperature separation method can simultaneously produce argon and other rare gas products, so the low-temperature method in the industrial application of large air separation and liquid air separation occupies a very important position.

Dear Air Separation has rich technology and experience in production and design to meet the large air separation and liquid air separation nitrogen production needs of our customers.4

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
