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.

Air cooling column is a mixed heat exchange device. The function is to make the cooling water fully contact with the air and being mixed fully to increase the heat transfer area and enhance the heat transfer, usually using "packed column" or "sieve plate". The packed column is a round steel container with packing (ceramic ring, plastic ring, etc.). Cooling water is ejected from the top of the column and mixed with air flowing upward from the bottom for heat and mass exchange. Air transfers heat to the cooling water, lowering its temperature and raising its temperature. In order to prevent the generation of water droplets in the air, the raschig ring (or stainless steel wire mesh) packing separator (also known as trapping layer) and mechanical water separator (inertial separation) are usually installed on the upper part of the column. The cooling water ejected from the spray device flows downward to the packing layer through the distributor, and an overflow ring is provided to redist
