Liquid air separation plant liquid hub area piping arrangement is mainly oxygen, nitrogen, argon liquid pipeline and pump box in the liquid pipeline arrangement. As oxygen, nitrogen, argon liquid temperature is extremely low (liquid oxygen -183 ° C ℃, liquid nitrogen -196 ° C, argon liquid -185.7C), in the liquid flow process, resulting in a certain amount of gasification, piping should pay attention to the slope of the liquid pipeline towards (no slope requirements on the process).

In the design of liquid air separation plant for liquid air, there are many requirements for the piping of liquid pipelines, and attention should be paid to the design standards and specifications of liquid air enterprises. In the pipeline of the cryogenic liquid pump inlet, no gas pockets (although the height of the gas pockets should be lower than the bottom of the cryogenic liquid storage tank) or liquid pockets should be formed. Once an air pocket or liquid pocket is formed, the cryogenic liquid air separation plant pump cannot be started normally, and even if it can be started normally, it will cause cavitation of the cryogenic liquid pump and shorten the life of the pump. Pump box piping is also the same, the pump inlet piping as short as possible, pump box wall to use bubble glass brick to low temperature piping and carbon steel pump box separated, if not done well, low temperature liquid through the pump box will form frost on the outside of the pump box, so that the loss of cold caused by low temperature liquid vaporization. All supports inside the pump tank are made of stainless steel and separated by red pine blocks.

Dear air separation equipment manufacturing and piping production has a wealth of experience, in the design process, process, piping and stress professional close cooperation, so that the safety and economy of liquid air separation plant and piping design to achieve perfect unity.

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.
