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

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.

Over the years of operation, DEAR Air Separation has not only been committed to providing high-quality complete sets of air separation equipment to domestic and international customers, but also long-term services such as air separation equipment maintenance, energy conservation, intelligent upgrading and transformation.

According to the structural characteristics of the valve casing castings, generally take X-rays or γ-rays as a source of radiation with the technical measures of the way the valve body pressure-bearing parts for radiation detection. The use of radiation detection technology to detect the valve body pressure parts, you can find internal defects in the casting, to avoid casting defects may lead to valve leakage and lead to deflagration or explosion accidents. X-ray inspection is often used...

Fluid resistance refers to the pressure drop of fluid flowing through pipes, valves or equipment. The actual process pressure gradually decreased. In order to ensure the final pressure required by the process, a pressure source (gas compressor or pump) is needed to provide higher pressure, that is, more energy is consumed. Therefore, the amount of resistance reflects the amount of energy loss. In oxygen production, flow resistance is also closely related to the production process. For example, the resistance measurement of switching heat exchanger is the basis to judge whether self-cleaning is good. If the resistance of the distillation column is too large, the normal distillation conditions will be destroyed. The magnitude of resistance (i.e. energy loss) can be expressed by the pressure drop before and after the fluid flows through the vessel. For example, the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tower is 0.038 MPa, the gauge pressure at the top of the tower is 0.025 MPa, and the p
