Causes of reduced efficiency of piston expanders in small air separation unit

Causes of reduced efficiency of piston expanders in small air separation unit
Jan 11, 2022
Author: DEAR AST

The ratio of the actual expansion refrigeration capacity of the expander to the theoretical isentropic expansion refrigeration capacity is the efficiency of the expander. In small air separation unit operation, the efficiency of the expander is generally reduced for the following reasons: poor cooling, the outside world has more heat transfer, pay attention to keep the insulation material dry; inlet and exhaust valves are not closed, exhaust valve seat pressure sleeve top wire is too loose or inlet and exhaust valve rod at the seal is not tight, etc. caused by gas leakage; inlet and exhaust valve opening and closing lag, too much resistance or too much friction heat will cause the piston expander efficiency is reduced.

1. Before hoisting, check and confirm whether the crane body, crane legs, lifting rigging and wire rope meet the safety requirements and hoisting conditions. 2. The hanging points of hoisting facilities shall be confirmed to prevent deviation and inclination; steel wire rope or sling shall be used for protection of edges and corners; sling and U-ring shall be used for lifting objects. 3. The commander shall use inter-phone for command, and special personnel shall be assigned for command, and the personnel shall stand at the position where the lifting object can be fully observed; warning isolation shall be set up in the hoisting area, and no one shall stand under the lifting object. 4. For large-scale hoisting, the hoisting safety scheme shall be formulated in combination with the company's special operation system.
