What safety precautions should be paid attention to when overhauling the nitrogen water precooling system

In the maintenance of nitrogen water precooling system, the most important thing is to prevent nitrogen asphyxiation accidents. In China, there have been several times of death of maintenance workers due to nitrogen asphyxiation. During maintenance, the nitrogen used for the unit is often heated at the same time, and the heated nitrogen often enters the cooling tower through the sewage nitrogen three-way valve, resulting in high nitrogen concentration in the tower.

Therefore, the air cooling tower and water cooling tower shall be separated from the device with blind plates before heating the device; The oxygen content in air cooling tower and water cooling tower shall be analyzed. When the oxygen content is between 19% and 21%, maintenance personnel are allowed to enter; If working in an area with oxygen content lower than 19%, someone must be assigned to monitor and wear an isolation mask (oxygen respirator, long tube mask, etc.).

  The cavitation of centrifugal pumps is very harmful. It causes great stress on the surface of the impeller and also reduces the head of the pump of small air separation unit, increases the power and reduces the efficiency. Therefore, measures should be taken in the process of use to avoid cavitation as far as possible. In order to avoid cavitation of small air separation unit, in the process design, should make the liquid into the pump before a certain degree of subcooling, while the pum...
