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 raw air is compressed to about 0.52Mpa by the air compressor after filtering out dust and impurities, and then cooled to about 10℃ by the refrigerant glycol aqueous solution or Freon, and then enters the purification system to purify and remove water, carbon dioxide and other impurities in the air. Part of the raw material air enters the lower tower via the second raw material air pipeline, another part is liquefied into liquid air via the liquefier and enters the lower tower via the liquid ...
