Small air separation FAQ

The air in nature is not absolutely dry, and a certain amount of gaseous water vapor is always mixed inside, which is a conventional part of air. Under normal pressure and normal temperature, water vapor is evenly dispersed in the air and will not condense into liquid water, so we cannot directly observe water. In the air separation operation, the air is first compressed by the air compressor. After the air is compressed, the volume is greatly reduced, and the density of water vapor in unit space increases sharply. At the same time, the saturated water content of air will change with the increase of pressure. Under high pressure, the upper limit of water vapor contained in air tends to be fixed. When the water vapor content exceeds the saturation value corresponding to the pressure, the air will reach the supersaturated state, which has the basis of water precipitation. The air compression process will generate a lot of heat, and the high temperature environment can temporarily improve

Air separation expansion air micro superheat temperature control standard and practice specification?

What are the key points of air fractionator operation?

The load adjustment range of low pressure small air separation unit is related to the adjustment performance of the raw material compressor, the adjustment performance of the expander, the structural characteristics of the distillation tower and other factors. At present there are imported guide vane of the turbine air compressor flow adjustment range in 75-100%; adjustable nozzle of the turbine expander adjustment range can be in 65-100%. When oxygen is rich and the need to reduce oxygen produc...

Pressure test of piping in the cold box (1) The system adopts air pressure test, the medium is dry and oil-free air. And must be responsible for the package by a dedicated person partition, strict and careful inspection of the leakage of each part, no leakage is allowed. (2) Before the pressure test, the butt welds of the pipeline should have been checked and qualified, and the valve position holes of all safety valves and automatic valves in the switching process should be blocked with blind ...

What are the standard start-up procedures for air separation plant?

The stroke of the valve plate of the piston compressor valve of the small air separation unit should be reasonably selected according to the speed and pressure of the compressor and should not be too large or too small. If the valve stroke is too large, the valve blade may not open fully and may also close with a hysteresis due to the inertia of the moving parts. At the same time, if the stroke is too large, it will increase the speed of the valve blade when opening and closing, and the impact o...

The molecular sieve on the air separation is currently used more 13X-APG type molecular sieve. The process principle is to use the internal porosity of its particles, and has a strong affinity for polar molecules, selective adsorption of carbon dioxide, water, and some hydrocarbons and other impurities. Activated alumina has high compressive strength, low abrasion rate, no pulverization, no bursting, etc. Its resistance to sudden changes in cold and heat is also very strong, and it also has bett...

The main measures taken for the design of oxygen piping in small air separation unit. 1、The piping material of the high-pressure oxygen gas pipeline is made of stainless steel to reduce the possibility of iron oxidation and combustion under intense working conditions. 2、Partial commercial flow rate piping using copper brocade alloy (Monel); 3, the use of different conditions of the pipeline proposed different degreasing and cleanliness requirements in the selection of Tong expansion joint for...

When there is no pressure signal input, the valve is closed; when there is a pressure signal, the valve starts to open, and the larger the input signal, the larger the valve opening, this kind of film regulating valve is called air-opening film regulating valve in small air spearation unit. When there is no pressure signal input, the valve is fully open, and when there is a pressure signal input, the valve starts to close; the larger the input signal, the smaller the valve opening; when the inp...
