What safety precautions should be paid attention to when overhauling the nitrogen water precooling system
Oct 10, 2025
Author: DEAR AST

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.).

Whether it is equipment installation or maintenance debugging, DEAR Air Separation can provide customers with comprehensive support. The technical service team composed of experienced and skilled commissioning experts is active in many regions and continuously receives technical skills training. DEAR's equipment maintenance and commissioning is systematic, and strict checklists and agreements need to be filled in to meet the standard delivery requirements.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
