Pearlescent sand, also known as expanded perlite, is widely used in the insulation box of air separation equipment due to its excellent thermal insulation performance. It has the characteristics of low thermal conductivity, good insulation performance, good chemical stability, lightweight, and easy construction.
Application of pearl sand in the cold insulation box of air separation equipment: 1. Filling material: Pearl sand, as the filling material of the cold insulation box, can effectively isolate the influence of external heat on the low-temperature environment inside the cold insulation box. 2. Cold insulation effect: Due to the low thermal conductivity and good insulation performance of pearl sand, it can significantly improve the cold insulation effect of the air separation equipment's cold insulation box and reduce the loss of cooling capacity. 3. Maintenance cost: Pearl sand has a long service life and is not prone to performance changes during use, which can reduce the maintenance cost of air separation equipment.
Therefore, the majority of the insulation materials filled in the insulation box of the air separation equipment are made of pearl sand, which benefits from its excellent thermal insulation performance and chemical stability.

In the liquid air separation plant, the cooled refrigerant goes to the air machine through the refrigerant delivery pipeline, and the intercooler cools the compressed air to around 10°C, improving the efficiency of the air compressor and reducing the energy consumption of the air compressor. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen to recycle and utilise the CNG cold through a heat exchanger, which in turn liquefies the air to transfer the cold to the liquid air separation plant, an...

The plant operation cycle between two large heating is related to many factors. From an operational point of view, this mainly depends on when the air passage of the main heat exchanger is blocked. The main reason for the blockage is that the moisture and carbon dioxide content in the air entering the unit exceeds the standard, which accumulates and freezes in the main heat exchanger until it is blocked. The abnormal operation of molecular sieve purification system will shorten the operation cycle of the unit. It is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. The molecular sieve adsorption bed is short circuited. In the process of operation, due to the unstable gas velocity control or switching, the pressure difference between the two tanks is too large, which will affect the bed layer, make the molecular sieve bed uneven and make the bed layer short circuit. In serious cases, the dust screen of the adsorber will break and the molecular sieve powder will enter the heat exchanger c
