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.

There is an open heat pump argon extraction process.   The new single column process can only use the open heat pump argon extraction process. Taking 10000cm³ air separation as an example, the main parameters are described as follows.   1、 The quantity of argon fraction is 4200-4300cm3 / h, the content of argon is 10%, the content of nitrogen is 1%, and the rest is oxygen.   2、 The theoretical plate number of the whole column is about 100.   3、 Two heat pump dist...
