Isothermal throttling refrigeration in Liquid air separation plant

Isothermal throttling refrigeration in Liquid air separation plant

Author: DEAR AST

Conventional liquid air separation plants are cooled by isothermal throttling refrigeration and expander refrigeration, LNG cold energy air separation eliminates the need for an expander and utilises the cooling capacity of LNG and isothermal throttling refrigeration. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen gas to liquefy into liquid nitrogen in a liquefier, which is fed into the lower tower, where the cold is transferred to the distillation system to pump the dirty liquid nitrogen through the lower tower. The liquid-depleted air allows the air separation unit to recover the low temperature cold energy of the liquid air separation plant by liquefying the raw air in the liquefier without reducing the extraction rate due to the liquefaction of part of the raw air, and the cold energy of the liquid air separation plant is utilised in stages, resulting in a significant reduction in electricity and water consumption compared to conventional liquid air separation units. The liquid nitrogen liquefies the air through the liquefier and transfers the cold to the fractionation tower system, eliminating the leakage of methane to the fractionation system and making the separation unit safe. the liquid air separation plant is gradually heated up and vaporised in the high pressure heat exchanger, transferring the low temperature cold to the nitrogen, but not reheating to room temperature. the high temperature cold can be recovered through a suitable refrigerant and can be used for intermediate and final cooling of the air compressor.

 

The conventional liquid air separation plants designed and produced by Dear Air have been well received by our customers.

At present, there are two types of common condensing evaporators in domestic air separation units, plate fin condensing evaporator and tubular condensing evaporator. Tubular condensing evaporator is divided into three types: long tube, short tube and coil. The long tube and short tube are all in row. The tube is made of red copper and the tube sheet is made of brass. It is generally used in small and medium-sized air separation plants. Coil type is generally used for auxiliary condensing evaporator. Because there is no fixed liquid level in the coil, the heat transfer coefficient is small, so it has been gradually eliminated. The plate fin condenser evaporator is made of all aluminum structure, and the plate unit is arranged in vertical star shape. Its characteristics are compact structure, light weight, small volume and easy to manufacture. It is widely used in large and medium air separation plants. Due to the gradual enlargement of the air separation unit, the heat excha
