Bare cooling of air separation equipment is a key debugging process that conducts low-temperature assessment of the equipment by introducing low-temperature media such as liquid nitrogen after the installation of low-temperature equipment and before filling with insulation materials, aiming to verify the performance and reliability of the equipment under extreme working conditions.
The technical purpose of bare cooling for air separation equipment is to verify the installation quality, expose potential defects in pipeline welds and flange connections through low-temperature environment, detect whether the leakage rate meets the standard (such as leakage rate ≤ 0.3%), and ensure the sealing of the equipment during long-term operation. 2. Evaluate the cold deformation capability, inspect the shrinkage rate, thermal stress distribution, and compensation ability of equipment and pipelines at extreme low temperatures, avoid cracking caused by material brittleness or structural stress concentration, and ensure the structural integrity of equipment under cyclic conditions from -196 ℃ to room temperature. 3. Ensure the smoothness of pipelines, verify the flow of internal pipelines, valves, and instruments of equipment at low temperatures, check for ice blockage, impurity blockage, or mechanical jamming, and ensure the continuity of subsequent process flows.

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
