What proportion of the total refrigerating capacity of the expander in the low-pressure air separation unit

What proportion of the total refrigerating capacity of the expander in the low-pressure air separation unit

The working pressure of the full-low pressure air separation unit is about 0.6MPa, so the refrigeration capacity of throttling effect is very small. For each cubic meter of processing air, it is only 1.36kJ/m3.

However, for each cubic meter of processing air, the cooling loss of the device is 4.2~7.5 kJ/m3, and the incomplete heat exchange loss is about 3.9 kJ/m3 when the temperature difference at the hot end is 3 ℃. Therefore, for the air separation equipment that does not produce liquid products, the total cold loss is 8.1~11.4kJ/m3. It can be seen that the vast majority of the total cooling loss is compensated by the expander cooling. The required expander cooling capacity is 6.74~10.04kJ/m3, accounting for 83%~88% of the total cooling capacity. It is generally believed that under normal working conditions, the cooling capacity of the expansion mechanism accounts for about 85% - 90% of the total cooling capacity and the throttling effect accounts for 10% - 15% of the total cooling capacity.

When the device is started or some liquid products are produced, it will be compensated by increasing the refrigeration capacity of the expander, which will account for a larger proportion.

Small air separation unit is the unit that separates air into oxygen and other gases by first compressing and cooling the air into a liquid state and then using the characteristic that oxygen has a different boiling point to other gases in the air to obtain oxygen and liquid oxygen by evaporation and separation, as well as other rare gases as required.Liquid oxygen is produced using the cryogenic separation of air. The basic principle is to u...

The pressure relief of molecular sieve in the purification system is generally rapid in the early stage, not complete and running overtime in the later stage. The pressure relief degree is adjusted by the manual stop valve in front of the pressure relief valve. Through practical adjustment, no matter how it is adjusted, the pressure relief in front is fast, or the pressure can not be exhausted. It is suggested that the valve positioner should be added to the automatic pressure relief valve, and the pressure linear adjustment should be programmed, so that the impact on molecular sieve will be much smaller.
