摘要:
A compressed air stream is cooled in an exchanger to form a compressed cooled air stream. The stream is then cryogenically compressed in a first compressor to form a first pressurized gas stream. The first pressurized gas stream is further cooled in the exchanger, cryogenically compressed in a second compressor, and then it is cooled and partially liquefied. The cooled and partially liquefied product is then fed to a system of distillation columns. A liquid product is removed from the system of distillation columns. This product is then pressurized, vaporized and warmed in the exchanger to yield pressurized gaseous product.

The invention relates to an apparatus for separating air by cryogenic distillation comprising a compressor (100), an exchange line (4), a system of columns (1), an electric motor (M) for driving the compressor, a duct for extracting a liquid from the system of columns, a pump (6) for applying pressure to the extracted liquid, means enabling heat exchange between the air compressed by the compressor and the liquid (16) pressurized by the pump, and means for lowering the output pressure of the pump depending on the frequency of the electricity powering the electric motor.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and device for generating two purified partial air streams under different pressures. A total air stream (1) is compressed to a first total air pressure. The compressed total air stream (5) is cooled with cooling water under the first total air pressure by way of heat exchange (4, 6). The heat exchange with cooling water for cooling the total air stream (5) is carried out as a direct heat exchange in a first direct contact cooler (6), at least in part. The cooled total air stream (9) is divided into a first partial air stream (10) and a second partial air stream (11). The first partial air stream (10) is purified in a first purification device (18) under the first total air pressure, generating the first purified partial air stream (19). The second partial air stream (11) is re-compressed to a higher pressure (12), which is higher than the first total air pressure. The re-compressed second partial air stream (14) is cooled with cooling water in a second direct contact cooler (15) by way of direct heat exchange (13, 15). The cooled second partial air stream (17) is purified under the higher pressure in a second purification device (30), thus generating the second purified partial air stream (31).
摘要:
Provided is an air separation method and apparatus in which consumed power source can be reduced when oxygen is collected in a three-column process, including: a first separation step in which feed air is separated into high pressure nitrogen gas and high pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air; a second separation step in which a high pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air is separated into medium pressure nitrogen gas, and medium pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air; a first indirect heat exchange step in which a medium pressure nitrogen gas is condensed and a low pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air is vaporized by indirect heat exchange; a third separation step in which a low pressure oxygen-enriched air is separated into low pressure nitrogen gas and low pressure liquid oxygen; a second indirect heat exchange step in which a high pressure nitrogen gas is condensed and a low pressure liquid oxygen is vaporized by indirect heat exchange; a third indirect heat exchange step in which a high pressure nitrogen-enriched air in an intermediate stage in the first separation step is condensed and a medium pressure oxygen-enriched liquid air is vaporized by indirect heat exchange; and a product gas collecting step in which low pressure oxygen gas and/or low pressure liquid oxygen is/are collected as a product oxygen gas after heat recovery.
