Small air separation unit so that the heat from the hot fluid to the cold fluid air separation unit is called heat transfer equipment or heat exchanger.

The main heat exchangers in small air separation unit are: nitrogen water pre-cooler, switchable heat exchanger, main heat exchanger, condensing evaporator, subcooler, liquefier, gasifier, heater and air compressor cooler.

According to the principle of heat transfer can be divided into three categories and various types of characteristics are.

1, inter-wall: characterised by hot and cold fluids separated by heat transfer walls (tube walls or plate walls), which do not come into contact with each other during heat transfer, with heat being transferred from the hot fluid to the cold fluid through the walls.

2, thermal storage type: characterised by alternating hot and cold fluids passing through a solid thermal storage body with sufficient heat capacity, the thermal storage body absorbs heat when the hot fluid flows through and releases heat when the cold fluid flows through.

3, mixed type: characterised by the heat exchange between the hot and cold fluids is achieved in the process of direct mixing, accompanied by the exchange of substances in the heat exchange process.

In the process of manufacturing small air separation unit for many years, Dear Air Separation has studied the characteristics of the technical principles of each link to ensure the comprehensive and stable operation of small air separation unit large air separation unit and liquid air separation plant.

The liquid air level in the lower column is one of the core parameters of air separation distillation, and its fluctuation directly affects the product purity and system stability. The causes of liquid level fluctuation can be summarized into four categories: gas source disturbance, valve failure, instrument distortion and abnormal working conditions in the tower. 1、 Inlet gas volume and pressure fluctuation. This is the most common cause. Unstable exhaust pressure of air compressor and sudden reduction of gas volume during switching of molecular sieve adsorber will lead to fluctuation of air volume entering the tower. The lower tower is very sensitive to the change of gas volume, and the liquid level will fluctuate immediately. In addition, the abnormal working condition of the booster or the adjustment of the expander gas volume will also indirectly disturb the liquid level of the lower tower through the cooling capacity balance. 2、 Valve regulating system failure. The liquid air thr

In the operation of the air separation unit, the superheat of the expanded air sent to the upper column is a key parameter affecting the stability of distillation conditions and product purity. The fluctuation of superheat will directly change the gas-liquid load and mass transfer efficiency of the upper column, and then affect the distillation effect and energy consumption of the unit. If the superheat of the expanded air is too high, the gas entering the upper tower will carry a large amount of excess heat, which will significantly increase the gas phase temperature in the tower and aggravate the consumption of cooling capacity in the tower. This will lead to the decrease of reflux ratio in the distillation section of the upper column, insufficient gas-liquid two-phase contact, and poor mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, the increase of superheated gas will raise the rising gas flow in the tower and destroy the balance of distillation conditions, resulting
