Nitrogen cycle pressurization variable load process in small air separation unit

Nitrogen cycle pressurization variable load process in small air separation unit

This project we use nitrogen booster cycle in the design process of oxygen compression fast variable load process. The process in small air separation unit before the air leaves the molecular sieve is the same as the conventional process, and the air after leaving the molecular sieve purification unit is cooled in the main heat exchanger and then enters the pressure tower. The flow of the nitrogen booster cycle is as follows: pure nitrogen gas drawn from the top of the pressure tower is reheated in the main heat exchanger, compressed by a nitrogen cycle compressor and cooled in the compressor cooler before entering the main heat exchanger for cooling. The compressed nitrogen is cooled in the main heat exchanger and then divided into two streams. One strand is cooled by the inner compressed liquid oxygen and sent to the top of the pressure tower by throttling, and the other strand is pumped out from the middle section, expanded by the high pressure expander and then enters the gas-liquid separator, where the gas nitrogen is merged with the nitrogen from the pressure tower and returned to the main heat exchanger together, and the liquid nitrogen enters the liquid nitrogen kettle at the top of the low pressure tower. The pure nitrogen from the top of the low pressure tower is reheated in the main heat exchanger of the subcooler and then divided into two streams, one into the make-up gas compressor, compressed into the nitrogen cycle compressor, and the other into the water cooling tower.

Another part of the nitrogen vaporized in the liquefier is heated up to a certain temperature in the high pressure heat exchanger and pumped out to the low pressure nitrogen press, the nitrogen separated by the gas-liquid separator is also heated up by the high pressure heat exchanger and then goes to the low pressure nitrogen press, compressed to a certain pressure by the low pressure nitrogen press and then back to the high pressure heat exchanger for heat exchange with liquid air separat...

Special pressure-bearing equipment generally bears internal pressure, that will cause tensile stress inside the shell, which is called working stress. The working stress is directly proportional to the pressure and diameter, and inversely proportional to the vessel wall thickness. The axial stress is half of the circumferential stress. Therefore, for cylindrical vessels, the stress of longitudinal weld is twice that of girth weld. Because the geometric shape of the spherical shell is symmetrical to the spherical center, and the axial stress is equal to the circumferential stress in numerical value. Therefore, the wall thickness of the spherical vessel can be reduced by half as much as that of the cylindrical vessel under the same pressure and diameter.
