Oxygen is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is a combustion promoter. It can be mixed with combustible gas (acetylene, methane, etc.) in a certain proportion to form explosive mixture. When the oxygen concentration in the air increases to 25%, it can stimulate active combustion reaction; When the oxygen concentration reaches 27%, a spark can develop into a lively flame. Therefore, fireworks are strictly prohibited in the oxygen workshop and around the oxygen generation device. When the clothes are saturated with oxygen, they will burn quickly in case of open fire. Especially the clothes contaminated with grease may spontaneously ignite in the presence of oxygen.

Nitrogen is a colorless, tasteless and odorless inert gas. It is harmless to human body, but when the nitrogen content in the air increases, it reduces the oxygen content, making it difficult to breathe. In order to avoid the increase of nitrogen content in the air in the workshop, nitrogen separated from the air separation plant shall not be discharged indoors. When overhauling nitrogen charging equipment, vessels and pipelines, air shall be used to replace them, and the operation shall be allowed only after the oxygen content is qualified. During maintenance, the nitrogen valve shall be supervised to prevent personal accidents caused by opening the valve by mistake.

DEAR air separation can produce large, medium and small air separation equipment, high-purity oxygen, nitrogen and argon equipment, low purity oxygen, liquid air separation equipment, natural gas purification, natural gas liquefaction (LNG), etc

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
