What issues should be paid attention to when operating the molecular sieve purification system of the air separation equipment

The purification effect of the molecular sieve purification system affects the operating cycle of the device. Improper operation of the same equipment may also affect the purification effect. The following issues should be noted during operation:

1) Installation requirements for molecular sieve adsorbers: carefully check whether the upper and lower sieve screens are damaged and whether they are firmly fixed; Whether the molecular sieve is fully filled and leveled; Carefully seal the inner and outer cylinder manholes to prevent mutual gas leakage;

2) When the molecular sieve adsorber is running, it is necessary to regularly monitor the temperature curve of the molecular sieve and the carbon dioxide content at the outlet to determine whether the adsorber is working properly;

3) Closely monitor the switching program of the adsorber and whether the switching pressure difference is normal. If there is a malfunction, it should be dealt with promptly;

4) Pay close attention to the normal operation of the refrigerator. If a short-term malfunction causes an increase in air outlet temperature, the switching cycle of the adsorber should be shortened in a timely manner and the malfunction should be eliminated in a timely manner;

5) When starting and boosting the air compressor, it should be done slowly to prevent excessive air velocity. When inflating the low-temperature system or increasing the system load (starting the expander, opening the throttle valve, etc.), it should be done slowly to prevent system pressure fluctuations;

6) When the air separation equipment is stopped, the main air valve behind the adsorber should be immediately closed to prevent excessive airflow velocity from impacting the molecular sieve bed layer during restart.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe

In the field of air separation, entropy is the core thermodynamic parameter to measure the energy quality and irreversibility of the system, which directly determines the energy consumption level and operation efficiency of the unit. Entropy, with the symbol s, is essentially a measure of the degree of chaos and energy unavailability of a system, in kj/(kg ・ K). The second law of thermodynamics clearly states that the total entropy of an isolated system only increases but does not decrease, that is, the principle of entropy increase. The higher the entropy, the lower the energy quality, and the more difficult it is to convert into cold energy or useful work; The smaller the entropy, the more orderly the energy, and the more sufficient the available energy. The essence of air separation unit is the combination of cryogenic refrigeration and distillation separation, and the whole process is closely related to entropy. The ideal reversible process is an isentropic process, and the entropy
