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.

The upsizing of air separation plant has became an inevitable trend of the development of national economy. A few years ago, the domestic air separation industry had achieved the air separation performance of 100000 m³/h level, and there were more than 150000 m³/h air separation plant abroad. With the gradual increase of the scale of air separation plant, its energy consumption is also increasing. In order to save energy, reduce consumption and reduce pollution, it is of great significance to study the driving mode of compressor for large-scale air separation plants. 1. Turbine drive: Steam turbine is widely used in electric power, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries and fields because of its axisymmetric high-speed rotation characteristics, smooth operation, small wear and long continuous operation time. However, the one-time investment of steam turbine drive is relatively large, and the requirements for heat supply pipeline and production system are high. The pla
