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.

1. Before filling with pearlite, the water accumulated on the foundation surface of air separation unit must be removed, dried with hot air, and all manholes shall be closed. 2. When filling pearlite, all containers and pipes in the cold box should be inflated and kept at 50kPa pressure, then slightly open the valve of each meter pipeline, and all thermometers should be electrified to check whether the thermometer cable is damaged during the filling process. 3. The filled pearlite shall not be mixed with combustibles. 4. When filling with pearlite, coarse mesh or pearlite pouring device should be set at the manhole on the top of the cold box to prevent whole bag pearlite from entering the cold box. 5. After the pearlite is filled, the manhole shall be sealed.
