How do liquid air separation plants achieve low energy consumption?

Liquid air separation plants by pumping dirty liquid nitrogen through the lower tower, lean liquid air, so that the liquid air separation plants does not reduce the extraction rate due to the liquefaction of part of the raw material air by pumping dirty liquid nitrogen through the lower tower. Liquid lean air allows the air separation plant not to reduce the extraction rate due to the liquefaction of part of the raw material air. The raw material air is liquefied in the liquefier to recover the low temperature cold energy of liquid air separation plants cold energy is used in stages, which can significantly reduce the electricity and water consumption compared to traditional liquid air separation plants.

The liquid nitrogen liquefies the air through the liquefier transferring the cold to the fractionator tower system, eliminating the leakage of methane to the fractionation system and making the liuqid air separation plants safe. The liquid air separation plants is gradually warmed up and vaporised in the high pressure heat exchanger, transferring the low temperature cold to the nitrogen, but not reheating to room temperature. The liquid air separation plant can recover its high-temperature cooling through a suitable refrigerant for intermediate and final cooling of the air compressor, improving the efficiency of the air compressor machine and saving energy and reducing consumption.

The complete sets of liquid air separation plants, small air separation units and large  air separation units sproduced by Dear Air Separation are put into production to provide users with qualified products.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe

In the field of air separation, entropy is the core thermodynamic parameter to measure the energy quality and irreversibility of the system, which directly determines the energy consumption level and operation efficiency of the unit. Entropy, with the symbol s, is essentially a measure of the degree of chaos and energy unavailability of a system, in kj/(kg ・ K). The second law of thermodynamics clearly states that the total entropy of an isolated system only increases but does not decrease, that is, the principle of entropy increase. The higher the entropy, the lower the energy quality, and the more difficult it is to convert into cold energy or useful work; The smaller the entropy, the more orderly the energy, and the more sufficient the available energy. The essence of air separation unit is the combination of cryogenic refrigeration and distillation separation, and the whole process is closely related to entropy. The ideal reversible process is an isentropic process, and the entropy
