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.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
