Why does the liquid air level and liquid oxygen level rise when the air separation equipment is temporarily stopped

Why does the liquid air level and liquid oxygen level rise when the air separation equipment is temporarily stopped
Apr 12, 2023
Author: DEAR AST

During normal operation, the rising steam has a certain speed when passing through the small hole, which can hold the liquid on the fractionator tray, prevent the liquid from leaking from the small hole, and can only flow along the tray, and then flow to the next tray through the overflow bucket. After parking, due to the interruption of the rising steam, the liquid on the tray loses the support of the rising steam and flows sequentially from the sieve holes of each tray to the bottom, accumulating in the condensate evaporator and liquid kettle. Therefore, during temporary parking, the liquid oxygen and liquid air levels will rise, even exceeding the position of the expansion air and oxygen outlet pipe, which can easily cause accidents of expansion machine carrying liquid or switching heat exchanger cold end carrying liquid during restarting.

Therefore, when temporarily stopping the air separation equipment, attention should be paid to the liquid level position, and if necessary, some liquid can be discharged.
