Air separation equipment compressor is the core component in air separation equipment, mainly used to compress the air in the atmosphere to a higher pressure for subsequent cooling, separation and other treatments, so as to produce industrial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen and other gases.
The compressor draws in and compresses atmospheric air to a high pressure state through the action of mechanical energy. During the compression process, the pressure and temperature of the air are increased, which facilitates the subsequent separation of the different components of the air by means of cooling and separation techniques.
Air separation plant compressors can be divided into various types according to different structures and principles, such as centrifugal compressors, piston compressors, screw compressors and so on. Among them, centrifugal compressors can meet the demand for gas flow and pressure of large-scale air separation equipment due to their high efficiency, stability, easy maintenance and other characteristics. It is widely used in large-scale air separation equipment.
Air separation equipment compressor is one of the core components of the air separation equipment, and its performance directly affects the operating efficiency of the entire air separation system and product quality. Therefore, in the selection and use of air separation equipment compressor, need to fully consider its performance parameters, operational stability, maintenance costs and other factors to ensure long-term stable operation of the air separation system and efficient production.

When the amount of processing air is reduced, the rising steam and reflux liquid in the upper column will be reduced, but the reflux ratio will not change. Therefore, the reduction of processing air in a small range will not affect the purity of oxygen and nitrogen, and the reduction of processing air volume will help to reduce the pressure of the upper and lower columns. However, according to the material balance, the production of oxygen and nitrogen will naturally decrease when the amount of processing air is reduced. If the amount of processing air is too small, there will be leakage on the tray. If the heat and mass exchange of the leaked liquid is not sufficient, the purity of oxygen and nitrogen will be greatly affected, and even the normal production can not be realized. Therefore, the minimum allowable load of distillation column is generally specified.
