Why should the cold box of air separation equipment be kept under pressure

Why should the cold box of air separation equipment be kept under pressure

Author: DEAR AST

The air separation cold box is generally filled with pearlite as thermal insulation material, and there is air between pearlite particles. After the operation of the air separation plant, the temperature in the cold box decreases, and the volume of pearlite and air decreases. In order to reduce the cold loss, the cold box is required to be well sealed, so the cold box will form negative pressure, and the cold box may be compressed under the effect of the internal and external pressure difference. In order to prevent the cold box from collapsing, generally fill the cold box with dry nitrogen or dirty nitrogen after the equipment is running to keep the cold box at a slight positive pressure.

The plant operation cycle between two large heating is related to many factors. From an operational point of view, this mainly depends on when the air passage of the main heat exchanger is blocked. The main reason for the blockage is that the moisture and carbon dioxide content in the air entering the unit exceeds the standard, which accumulates and freezes in the main heat exchanger until it is blocked. The abnormal operation of molecular sieve purification system will shorten the operation cycle of the unit. It is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. The molecular sieve adsorption bed is short circuited. In the process of operation, due to the unstable gas velocity control or switching, the pressure difference between the two tanks is too large, which will affect the bed layer, make the molecular sieve bed uneven and make the bed layer short circuit. In serious cases, the dust screen of the adsorber will break and the molecular sieve powder will enter the heat exchanger c
