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.

Conventional liquid air separation plants are cooled by isothermal throttling refrigeration and expander refrigeration, LNG cold energy air separation eliminates the need for an expander and utilises the cooling capacity of LNG and isothermal throttling refrigeration. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen gas to liquefy into liquid nitrogen in a liquefier, which is fed into the lower tower, where the cold is transferred to the distillation system to pump the dirty liquid nitrogen thr...

Cryogenic air separation nitrogen production uses air as raw material, which is compressed, purified and heat exchanged to liquefy gas air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen have different boiling points and are separated by distillation to obtain nitrogen. 1. Air compression and purification The air passes through the air strainer to remove dust and mechanical impurities, then enters the air compressor, compresses to the required pressure, and then goes to the air cooler to reduce the air temperature. It then enters the air drying purifier to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons from the air. 2. Air separation The purified air enters the main heat exchanger in the air separation column, and is cooled to the saturation temperature by the reflux gas (production nitrogen gas, waste gas), and is sent to the bottom of the distillation column. The nitrogen is obtained fr
