Liquefied air separation FAQ - DEAR Air Separation

Liquid air separation equipment gas liquefaction cycle

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...

Liquid air separation plant containers installation

on the tower on the section of the sealing plate and pure nitrogen export cap, coarse argon tower condenser coarse argon export cap must be removed on the ground, clear clean aluminum chips with clean white cloth or plastic wrap before lifting in place. During the lifting of aluminium pressure vessels and aluminium pipelines, the installation should take protective measures to prevent damage to the surface, such as rigging jacket rubber tube, rigging between with support to open. The...

Site construction requirements for chillersn in liquid air separation plant

The site should be carefully checked for the chiller type and evaporator design pressure. It is not possible to use the water inlet as a water outlet and vice versa: the water flow switch is determined to be installed. The first start-up must be carried out under the guidance of the chiller plant manufacturer's personnel. Do not power on the chiller without permission. The installation requirements of the chiller plant are reflected in the operating instructions and the chiller plant manufactur...

What are the causes of molecular sieve water ingress accidents of liquid air separation plant?

Causes of molecular sieve into the water accident: when the air-cooled tower level is higher than 3500mm water exceeds the height of the air inlet tube, a large amount of water with the air into the molecular sieve adsorber; when the air-cooled tower resistance rises, higher than 7kPa, the air-cooled tower will form a liquid suspension, resulting in bottom water level fluctuations, air-cooled tower resistance fluctuations, water with the air into the molecular sieve adsorber; molecular sieve swi...

Composition of the liquid air separation plant

The liquid air separation plant includes the lower tower, upper tower, condensing evaporator, argon system, main heat exchanger, subcooler, liquefier and is placed in a separate cold box. After distillation in the lower tower, high purity nitrogen is obtained at the top of the lower tower, which is reheated by the main heat exchanger and then exits the cold box and goes to the nitrogen circulation system to recover the cold from the liquid air separation plant to make liquid nitrogen. The lower ...

Installation of piping outside the cold box of liquid air separation plant

(1) Can be based on the cold box outside the piping diagram provided by the equipment manufacturer and the relevant national standards and norms for industrial piping installation. For heavier weight valves, small lifting tools can be used to temporarily support them. When the piping is good, use fixed brackets to support. (2) Liquid discharge mains should be installed with compensation parts. (3) The aluminium pipe leading out of the cold box with its welded pressure plate and its seal ring s...

Installation of pipes in the cold box in liquid air separation plant

Installation of pipes in the cold box in liquid air separation plant Stainless steel welding wire must be baked at the temperature strictly in accordance with the instructions for use and kept warm before use. Receive welding rod, welders must use the electrode insulation cylinder, and do a good job of anti-aluminium welding wire clean, dry and sealed packaging, otherwise chemical cleaning and drying treatment is required before use. Welding rod grades must be used uniformly and not mixed. Pr...
