Why does the moisture content of air in a small air separation unit decrease after passing through a cooling tower?

The main functions of the air cooling tower: heat exchange, washing and buffering.

In low-pressure small air separation unit, the absolute pressure of the compressed air discharged from the air compressor is around 0.6 MPa. After the air is compressed, the water content per unit volume increases so that its moisture content reaches the saturation content corresponding to the prevailing temperature. When the air flows through the air cooling tower, as the temperature decreases, the corresponding saturated moisture content decreases, and the excess will be precipitated from the gas in a liquid state. This part of the water vapour condensation into water, while releasing latent heat of condensation, cooling water increases, the water temperature will also rise, but the air out of the tower temperature is reduced. Therefore, the air in the cooling tower, although the air is in direct contact with water, but the moisture content will be reduced.

Dear has extensive practical experience in researching the technical principles of equipment manufacture and process systems, and the small air separation unit is installed to high quality requirements.

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Pressure test before valve installation 1. In the warranty period, those with the certification and the sealing surface is intact can no longer conduct the strength test alone, but only the air tightness test can be taken before installation. 2. Within the warranty period, it has the certificate, and its sealing surface has defects such as corrosion and damage. After treatment, it must carry out the air tightness test. 3. Outside the warranty period, those with certification and intact sealing surface shall be subject to air tightness test before installation. 4. For valves that need to be degreased and disassembled on site, air tightness test shall be conducted separately before installation. 5. The safety valve shall be sent to the local quality inspection department of the project for verification before the end of installation and commissioning.
