Reasons for the decrease in moisture content of air after passing through the cooling tower of an air separation plant

For low-pressure air separation devices, the absolute pressure of compressed air discharged from the air compressor is around 0.6MPa. After compression, the moisture content per unit volume of air increases, causing its moisture content to reach the saturation level corresponding to the temperature at that time. When air flows through the air cooling tower, as the temperature decreases, the corresponding saturated moisture content decreases, and the excess part will precipitate from the gas in a liquid state. This portion of water vapor condenses into water, while releasing latent heat of condensation, which not only increases the cooling water volume but also increases the water temperature. But the temperature of the air exiting the tower decreases, so although the air comes into direct contact with water in the cooling tower, its moisture content will actually decrease.

The research and development of DEAR Air Separation has always focused on intelligent air separation devices and the development of new energy-saving products. Through cooperation with renowned universities and research institutions both inside and outside the province, and through independent and collaborative innovation, a group of professional engineering and technical teams have been cultivated, and a number of high-tech gas separation device research and development projects have been stored.

Special pressure-bearing equipment generally bears internal pressure, that will cause tensile stress inside the shell, which is called working stress. The working stress is directly proportional to the pressure and diameter, and inversely proportional to the vessel wall thickness. The axial stress is half of the circumferential stress. Therefore, for cylindrical vessels, the stress of longitudinal weld is twice that of girth weld. Because the geometric shape of the spherical shell is symmetrical to the spherical center, and the axial stress is equal to the circumferential stress in numerical value. Therefore, the wall thickness of the spherical vessel can be reduced by half as much as that of the cylindrical vessel under the same pressure and diameter.
