The completion pressure test of the light tower in the air separation equipment is a key link to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment. Its core purpose is to verify the structural strength and sealing, ensure process safety, guarantee product quality and efficiency, extend equipment life, and meet acceptance and compliance requirements.
Strength testing: By injecting high-pressure gas (such as nitrogen) or liquid into the tower, simulating the pressure conditions during actual operation, the pressure bearing capacity of the tower body, connecting pipes, flanges and other components is tested to ensure that they will not undergo permanent deformation or rupture under the design pressure.
Sealing test: Check for leaks at the connections of the tower body (such as welds, flange gaskets, manhole seals, etc.) to prevent gas or liquid leaks during operation that may cause safety accidents or a decrease in product purity.
The pressure test of the dehydration tower is a bridge connecting equipment manufacturing and safe operation. Through systematic testing, hidden dangers are eliminated, laying the foundation for the long-term, efficient, and safe operation of the air separation unit.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
