Reasons for liquid air level and liquid nitrogen level rising during temporary shutdown

During normal operation, the rising steam has a certain speed when passing through the small hole, which can hold the liquid on the fractionating tower tray and prevent the liquid from leaking from the small hole, but can only flow along the tray, and then flow to the next tray through the overflow bucket. After shutdown, due to the interruption of rising steam, the liquid on the tray loses the supporting force of rising steam, and is left to the bottom successively from the sieve holes of each tray and stored in the condensation evaporator and liquid kettle. Therefore, during temporary shutdown, liquid oxygen and liquid air level will rise, even exceeding the position of expansion air and oxygen outlet pipe orifice, which is easy to cause liquid carrying accident of expander or cold end of switching heat exchanger during restart. Therefore, pay attention to the position of liquid level during temporary shutdown, and discharge some liquid if necessary.

Intelligent manufacturing is not an optional path, but an inevitable path, an inevitable trend of manufacturing development, and an inevitable direction of meeting social needs. The traditional production mode cannot be solved and the previous technical means cannot support it. Intelligent manufacturing needs a technical system support. In order to build its own intelligent production line and attract high-end talents, DEAR Air Separation has established an intelligent team with doctors as its members to make bold innovation and improvement on the manufacturing process of existing air separation equipment, realizing a leap in intelligent automation of air separation manufacturing.

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
