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.

Screw compressor is a positive displacement compressor from the mechanical type, which is composed of the driving rotor and driven rotor, the main body and a pair of synchronous gears. Therefore, the common faults of screw compressor are as follows: 1. The bearing is burnt out. Because of the foreign matter in the oil system, the oil pressure and the quality of the oil are reduced, resulting in the bearing burning out. The main treatment methods are: check the oil supply system; clean the oil filter and the cooling pipe of the oil cooler; check and adjust the oil pressure regulating valve; test the oil quality, and replace the oil when it is not good; check and deal with the oil leakage points. 2. The rotor is burnt out. When foreign matters enter into the compressed medium system, the temperature of the rotor rises, the temperature of the cooling oil of the rotor increases due to the high temperature of the inhaled medium, and the compression ratio increases, which may cause the
