The generation and accumulation of liquid in the main cooling system rely entirely on the liquid air section of the lower tower flowing into the upper tower. When there is a liquid void in the lower tower and it is throttled to the upper tower, some of the liquid vaporizes after throttling, and the temperature further decreases. Continue cooling the upper tower with these low-temperature liquids and gases. Initially, due to the high tower temperature, the liquid air gradually vaporized during the downstream process, and liquid could not accumulate in the main cooling system. As the liquid air continues to flow downwards from the liquid air inlet, the tray gradually cools from top to bottom, and a portion of the liquid will begin to accumulate on the tray. It relies on the vapor generated by the gasification of another part of the downstream liquid to hold the liquid. Therefore, before the liquid level appears in the main cooling system, a layer of liquid is first laid on each tray from the liquid inlet to the main cooling system, and continuously generated rising steam passes through the liquid layers on each tray. The resistance meter from the bottom can reflect the resistance that steam overcomes when passing through the tray. During the start-up phase, when the resistance gauge at the bottom of the upper tower begins to indicate, it can be estimated that the liquid oxygen surface is about to appear.

Sieve tray is one of the most widely used trays in air separation columns. Its main structure is that there are evenly distributed small holes with spacing of 2.1 ~ 3.25 mm and diameter of 0.8 ~ 0.13 mm on the tray. During the operation, the steam bubbling up through the liquid layer through the sieve hole, and the liquid on the tray can only flow in a fixed direction because it is held by the steam. The advantages of sieve tray column are simple manufacture and high efficiency. The disadvantages are that liquid may leak through the sieve hole when the load is too low.

What is the Air separation unit instrument cluster and what is the relationship between transmitters, display tables, regulators, and membrane control valves?Air separation unit.1 g potassium dichromate or 2 g sodium nitrite can be added to each liter of water (not suitable for nonferrous metal degreasing); due to the toxicity or explosion of degreasing agent, attention must be paid to prevent poisoning and formation of explosive mixture. In alkaline cleaning, the pipeline with more oil stains is heated to 60-90 ℃ with 10% sodium hydroxide solution, then neutralized with 15% nitric acid and washed with clean water.Air separation unit.From the vaporization temperature (saturation temperature) of liquid oxygen, if the liquid oxygen surface is too high, the greater the static pressure difference between the upper and lower liquid oxygen surface, the higher the average pressure of liquid oxygen and the corresponding saturation temperature. In order to maintain the heat transfer temperature
