Throttle expansion versus isentropic expansion of large air separation unit

Throttle expansion versus isentropic expansion of large air separation unit
Mar 10, 2022
Author: DEAR AST

Isentropic expansion is more effective than throttle expansion in terms of temperature effect and cooling capacity. Moreover, the expander can also recover part of the expansion work, which can improve the economy of refrigeration. However, the throttling valve is simple in structure, easy to adjust and can work in the gas-liquid two-phase zone. Especially when the initial temperature is low, the cooling capacity of throttling is enhanced, isentropic expansion is weakened and the gap between the two this cooling capacity is reduced, throttling in large air separation unit is more favourable.

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.
