What is the working principle of the pre cooling system for air separation equipment?

The working principle of the pre cooling system of air separation equipment is mainly based on heat exchange and refrigeration cycle. It includes the following key steps:
Air compression: Firstly, air is compressed to a higher pressure level by a compressor in order to enter the pre cooling system for cooling. This step not only increases the density of the air, but also helps to remove some moisture and impurities.
Heat exchange: Compressed air enters the heat exchanger of the pre cooling system. Here, air exchanges heat with low-temperature media (such as liquid nitrogen, cooling water, etc.) to lower the temperature of the air. During this process, components such as moisture and carbon dioxide in the air may begin to condense or solidify, laying the foundation for subsequent separation processes.
Refrigeration cycle: Some pre cooling systems also include a refrigeration cycle, which further reduces the temperature of the air by circulating refrigerant in the system. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air in the evaporator and evaporates, then releases heat in the condenser and condenses back into a liquid state. This cycle is continuously repeated to achieve continuous cooling of the air.
Purification treatment: During the pre cooling process, the purification devices in the system (such as filters, adsorbers, etc.) will remove solid impurities, moisture, carbon dioxide and other components from the air, ensuring that the air entering the subsequent separation equipment is sufficiently pure.

The liquefaction of gases can be divided into forward and reverse cycles. The forward cycle process is the absorption of heat from the higher temperature external heat source and the release of heat to the lower temperature external heat source. The reverse cycle is when the mass draws heat from a lower temperature external heat source and releases it to a higher temperature external heat source. The forward cycle converts heat energy into mechanical energy and the reverse cycle converts mechani...

Distillation is using the different boiling points of the two substances to condense the mixed steam and vaporize the mixed liquid repeatedly to achieve gas separation. For a mixed liquid composed of two substances with different boiling points, when the heat absorption part evaporates, the volatile components will evaporate more, while the mixed steam will give off heat and partially condense, the non volatile components will condense more. If the saturated steam with higher temperature is mixed with the saturated liquid with lower temperature, the steam will release heat and partially condense, and the liquid will absorb heat part of it evaporates. If after a round of partial evaporation and partial condensation, the steam and liquid with higher concentration will contact with the steam and liquid with different temperature respectively, and then partial condensation and partial evaporation will occur again. This process will be repeated for many times, and finally gas separation
