Liquefied air separation FAQ

What are the steps for loading molecular sieves into molecular sieve purifiers in air separation equipment

The temperature drop caused by throttling expansion and expander expansion is limited, and how air is liquefied in air separation equipment

How much argon fraction can the air separation equipment extract when producing argon? What are its limitations?

How to judge the leakage in air separation equipment

Can filling the tower with liquid oxygen be used to shorten the start-up time of the air separation equipment

The heat capacity of the Plate-fin switching heat exchanger is small, and the start-up time of the air separation plant is short, which is 30 ~ 36 H level; the start time of the air separation unit with stone cooler needs 48 ~ 60h. In terms of operation, master the essentials of operation: prevent moisture and carbon dioxide from being brought into the tower; strictly control the temperature difference between the cold end and the hot end; pay attention to the cooling of the main cooling; give full play to the refrigeration capacity of multiple expansion machines; reasonable allocation and utilization of cooling capacity, depending on the potential of the equipment itself to shorten the start-up time. Because of the large heat capacity of the stone cooler, it takes quite a long time to cool down to normal temperature after heating. The air of the turbine air compressor can be used to blow the stuffing to near normal temperature before starting the expansion machine, and hot air can ...

What should be paid attention to after using molecular sieve to purify air?

If the automatic adjustment system of the liquid level of the air cooling tower fails, it is easy to cause water accidents of the air separation tower, so the reliability of the self-adjustment system of the liquid level must be improved. Attention should be paid when installing: 1) the differential pressure transmitter should be installed on the same reference horizontal plane with the air cooling tower bottom; 2) the positive pressure and negative pressure diversion pipes should be introduced into the differential pressure transmitter on the same horizontal plane; 3) in winter, heating and antifreezing measures should be taken to prevent the static water in the diversion pipe from freezing. In order to improve its working stability and accuracy, a standard liquid level container can be installed in the negative pressure lead-out pipe. In the standard liquid level container, the height H of the liquid level is maintained constant by supplementary water and overflow pipe, which is g...

With the increasingly wide application of cryogenic liquid, in order to reduce material cost, improve storage efficiency, reduce equipment floor area, reduce energy consumption in the process of manufacturing, transportation and installation, and realize the green manufacturing concept of simultaneous development of safety production and energy saving, large-scale design has become the leading development direction of atmospheric pressure storage tank.   At present, the com...

Liquid appears too early in the liquid purifier, which means that the liquid purifier is connected too early. If the temperature condition of the switching heat exchanger has not been established, liquid will appear in the liquidator, which will result in the reduction of the flow gas of the switching heat exchanger due to the production of liquid, thus it is impossible to guarantee self-cleaning. Moreover, partial liquefaction of air will shrink the volume and reduce the pressure, thus increasing the positive flow air volume, which is not good for self-cleaning of switching heat exchanger. In addition, the backflow gas prematurely uses part of the cold energy for liquefaction, which will make the air in the switching heat exchanger can not be cooled to the working temperature as soon as possible, and even the temperature may rise. In this way, more carbon dioxide will be brought into the tower. Therefore, it is unfavorable for the liquid purifier to appear liquid too early. During ...
