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.

Generally, the actual cooling capacity of expander is always less than the theoretical cooling capacity. Under the same inlet and outlet pressure and inlet gas temperature, the lower the efficiency of expander, the smaller the unit refrigerant cooling capacity and the smaller the temperature drop efficiency of expander. The efficiency of expander depends on the size of various losses inside the expander. Due to the existence of various losses, the ability of gas to do external work is reduced in varying degrees. To sum up, the losses mainly include the following aspects: 1. When the air flow passes through the work wheel and the deflector, the loss caused by friction and air flow impact on the runner surface is called flow loss. 2. When the impeller is rotating, the friction heat generated by the gas around the wheel disc will increase the temperature of the gas, which is called friction blast loss. 3. When the gas passes through the deflector, the leakage from the gap bet
