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 air separation cold box is filled with insulation material, generally pearlite, and the pearlite particles are filled with air. After the operation of the air separation unit, the temperature of the insulation material and the air will decrease, and the volume will decrease. At this time, if the cold box is well sealed, negative pressure will be formed in the cold box, and the cold box may be compressed under the effect of internal and external pressure difference. If the cold box is not well sealed, the moisture outside the cold box will enter the cold box, making the insulation material damp, and the cold loss of the unit will be greatly increased. In order to prevent the cold box from being compressed and the thermal insulation material from becoming damp, dry nitrogen or crude nitrogen is usually filled into the cold box after the unit is running to keep the cold box at slightly positive pressure.
