The oxygen enriched liquid air passes through the oxygen enriched liquid air channel through the chiller and then throttles to the upper tower for further distillation, the nitrogen at the top of the lower tower of liquid air separation plant passes through the nitrogen channel to the condensing evaporator for condensation into liquid nitrogen. A portion of the liquid nitrogen is passed through the liquid nitrogen pipeline as reflux to the lower column, while the other portion is sub-cooled by the chiller to the upper column for further distillation. The dirty liquid nitrogen passes through the dirty liquid nitrogen channel and the lean liquid air passes through the lean liquid air channel to the upper tower for further distillation after being sub-cooled by the chiller respectively. In the condensing evaporator nitrogen is condensed at the same time, liquid argon is evaporated as rising gas, and reflux liquid nitrogen, oxygen-rich liquid air between the packing heat transfer, mass transfer oxygen, nitrogen separation, the bottom of the upper tower to get high purity liquid oxygen, through the liquid oxygen pipeline out of the cold box, the middle to get argon containing 8%-12% of the fraction, sent by the pipeline into the argon system can be made argon and through the fine argon pipeline out of the cold box.

When the amount of processing air is reduced, the rising steam and reflux liquid in the upper column will be reduced, but the reflux ratio will not change. Therefore, the reduction of processing air in a small range will not affect the purity of oxygen and nitrogen, and the reduction of processing air volume will help to reduce the pressure of the upper and lower columns. However, according to the material balance, the production of oxygen and nitrogen will naturally decrease when the amount of processing air is reduced. If the amount of processing air is too small, there will be leakage on the tray. If the heat and mass exchange of the leaked liquid is not sufficient, the purity of oxygen and nitrogen will be greatly affected, and even the normal production can not be realized. Therefore, the minimum allowable load of distillation column is generally specified.
