How to optimize the structure of equipment support in the cold box of air separation plant

The tower support of the air separation unit is mainly used to support the tower body in the cold box, and the common tower form is mainly composed of ring plate, rib plate, riser and connecting straight pipe.

Through the finite element analysis of the traditional solid model, and through the correct loading and boundary conditions, considering the low height of the tower support, and without considering the impact of wind load, seismic load, ice and snow load, the load mainly includes the dead weight of the support and the weight of the tower and its accessories. Therefore, only symmetric constraints are added to the symmetric plane to constrain its displacement degrees of freedom along the normal direction of the symmetric plane, and full constraints are added to the bottom to constrain the degrees of freedom in three directions. The specific optimization scheme is as follows: considering that the rib plate hardly plays a supporting role, the rib plates between the two annular plates are all canceled; Cancel one straight pipe connecting the risers and replace it with two inclined pipes. Support the annular plate diagonally to reduce the included angle between it and the two risers. Through strength check, the bearing capacity of the optimized structure is 3 times higher than that of the original, and the structure is simpler, the processing is more convenient, and the production cost is reduced.

Through the use of finite element analysis software, DEAR Air Separation Plant carries out model analysis and optimization for the commonly used empirical tower of air separation equipment, so as to improve the bearing capacity of the support, reduce the processing difficulty and save the material cost.

In the temperature of the forward air into the cooler (hot end temperature, related to the cooling effect of the last cooler of the air compressor or nitrogen water precooler) and the temperature of the return air into the cooler (cold end temperature, under the condition that the temperature of the heat exchanger such as the outlet supercooler and the liquid purifier is not changed, the temperature difference between the thermal end and the temperature difference between the cold end of the refrigerator (both refers to the difference between the temperature of the forward air and the reflow gas participating in the switching) is interdependent. If the hot end temperature difference, cold end temperature difference will is too small; the hot end temperature difference is too small, cold end temperature difference will is too large. This is decided by the cooling balance of the positive and return gas of the cooler. When the ratio of return flow to positive flow volume is larger than...

Nitrogen is the main component of air in the universal pressure conversion and adsorption equipment. It is colorless, odorless, non-toxic and non-combustible gas under room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and its boiling point is-195.8 ℃, its chemical property is not active. In addition to synthetic ammonia, nitrogen is usually used as protective gas in industries such as metallurgy, chemical industry, coal, food, medicine, electron, magnetic material, transportation, heat treatment, tire, thermoelectricity, aviation, etc. Special pressure conversion nitrogen absorption equipment for petroleum and petrochemical industry chemical industry is the industry with the largest application of nitrogen air separation equipment. Currently, the most widely used one is: PVC, with a purity of 99.5% and a large flow rate. Polypropylene (PE) has a purity of 99.9% and a large flow rate. The application of nitrogen in this product is divided into two parts. One is that 99.9% nitrogen (small am...
