Author: DEAR AST

When the alarm device of the booster turbine expander of the air separation unit rings, it is the signal of the failure of the booster turbine expander. Consequences: the pressure of the processing air increases, affecting the operation of the air turbine compressor, and the liquid level of the main condensing evaporator decreases, resulting in a decrease in output.

Emergency measures shall be taken in case of failure of booster turbine expander of air separation unit:

Start the standby booster turbine expander; Adjust the discharge pressure of the booster compressor to stabilize the discharge pressure of the booster compressor, check the purity of the product gas, reduce the product volume, reduce the liquid discharge volume, or stop completely if necessary.

Further measures: eliminate the fault immediately; Adjust the air volume and output to normal values.

The common failure of booster turbine expander is the blockage caused by ice and dry ice, which requires heating. As for other faults, the causes should be found out and eliminated according to the regulations on the use and maintenance of booster turbine expander.

DEAR air separation equipment manufacturing technology has studied technical theories and principles through long-term experience, and the manufacturing technology is mature and standardized. Each sub equipment has formulated use and maintenance regulations, and strictly controlled each stage, with quality first, to ensure the safety and efficiency of the equipment.

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.
