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.

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. As of now, the company has undertaken the maintenance business of over 100 sets of air separation equipment, and has completed energy-saving and intelligent transformation of multiple sets of air separation equipment.

Answer: Kaifeng deer air separation has the first complete intelligent production line of fractionator recognized by the industry in China (put into construction in 2019) Positioning: full automatic production line of cold box/fractionator cylinder, three-dimensional warehouse AGV、 Robot welding, visual blanking, mes+"Deere smart brain", continuous plate cutting, rounding, welding, film washing, and pipe Island assembly, not piecemeal robot transformation. Key points: it is the first recognized intelligent production line of air separation equipment in the air separation circle, especially for the aluminum alloy tower of air separation.

Answer:It can be done, and there is just a public 7500nm ³/h (80% o ɑ) VPSA benchmark project: Jiangyin Huaxi iron making VPSA project Parameters: 7500nm ³/h, 80% oxygen purity, vpsa-7500 specification, smelting oxygen enriched condition, BOT mode, supporting their own blue bank intelligent operation and maintenance system Background: This is the VPSA project publicly announced by Deere air separation. Previously, Deere's main business was cryogenic air separation, and VPSA is a new product line. Key point differentiation (very important) 1. the 7500 is a single set of VPSA adsorption tower group, not multiple sets in parallel; Purity 80%, blast furnace/iron making oxygen enriched standard working condition 2. Deere does not take VPSA as its main business, and cryogenic is its strength; VPSA molecular sieve is purchased 3. capability boundary: at present, VPSA performance is publicly disclosed, and there is no case of a larger single set (≥ 10000) VPSA being publicly put into operatio
