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.

The air separation column mainly includes main heat exchanger, liquefier, distillation column, condensing evaporator, etc. The main heat exchanger, condensing evaporator and liquefier are plate type of heat exchangers. It is a new type of all aluminum metal composite partition heat exchanger. The average temperature difference is small, and the heat exchange efficiency is as high as 98-99%. Distillation column is the unit of air separation. The types of column unit are classified according to the internal parts. The sieve plate column with sieve plate, the bubble cap column with bubble cap plate, and the packed column with packing material. The sieve plate is widely used in air separation distillation column because of its simple structure, easy manufacture and high efficiency. Packed column is mainly used for distillation column with diameter less than 0.8m and height less than 7m. Bubble column is seldom used because of its complicated structure and difficult manufacture.
