The main function of the pre cooling system is to cool the moist air after the air compressor is pressurized, and further wash the micro particle dust and some water-soluble substances (NH3) in the air Impurities such as SO2, etc. The air cooled by the air cooling tower is approximately saturated with humid air. According to the working characteristics of the purification system, the lower the temperature of the humid air exiting the air cooling tower, the lower the water content, which is more conducive to reducing the adsorption load of the purification system.
Working principle and process: The air cooling tower is divided into two sections. The lower section is cooled by circulating water, while the upper section is cooled by chilled water. Cooling water and chilled water are directly used to exchange heat with moist air on the loose packing to reduce the temperature of the humid air. Cooling water is introduced from the lower part of the air cooling tower, while chilled water is introduced from the upper part of the air cooling tower. The cooling water comes from the factory's cooling water supply network pool, which is pressurized by the cooling water pump and introduced. After heat exchange, it is collected at the bottom of the air cooling tower and returned to the cooling water return network. The chilled water comes from a circulating water pool and comes into contact with dry ammonia wastewater in the water-cooling tower. It uses the latent heat of water vaporization to achieve cooling, and then further lowers the temperature through an ammonia freezer. It is then pressurized and introduced into the chilled water pump. A water collector is installed at the top of the air cooling tower to separate the free water carried in the air.

The non-power consuming option for liquid air separation plants can be used for full liquid air separation plants,where the produced liquid is sold off. This approach is currently available for most LNG receiving stations. For air separation units with a large cold capacity, the liquid air can be pressurised to 6baA in a vacuum storage tank, and then heat exchanged through a heat exchanger, instead of the air compressor, directly into the cold box for distillation. At the same time in the cold b...

1. Before connecting the pipe orifice of each container, clean white cloth shall be used to tie the orifice to prevent grease and dirt from entering. 2. When welding in the cold box and in the condensing evaporator, it is strictly forbidden for flame or arc to touch the surface of vessels and pipes. 3. The containers, valves, pipes and corresponding supports in the cold box, the surface of the cold box and the foundation surface shall not be stained with grease after installation, otherwise, degreasing treatment shall be carried out.
