摘要:
A cryogenic air separation system wherein nitrogen vapor from a higher pressure column and oxygen liquid from a lower pressure column each pass down through a once-through main condenser in heat exchange relation and some but not all of the oxygen liquid is vaporized such that the oxygen liquid and vapor exit the condenser in a liquid to vapor mass flowrate ratio within the range of from 0.05 to 0.5 whereby the need for a recirculation pump to ensure avoidance of oxygen boiling to dryness is eliminated.
摘要:
A refrigeration system particularly useful with a multicomponent refrigerant fluid wherein the refrigerant fluid is cooled in an upward leg of a first vertically oriented heat exchanger section and further cooled in a downward leg of a second vertically oriented heat exchanger section prior to refrigeration generation and serial recycle flow through the two heat exchanger sections.
摘要:
A system for cooling a power transformer wherein cryogen in liquid or solid form is sprayed into a vaporizer or directly onto a power transformer radiator and the vaporizing and/or sublimating cryogen cools a cooling fluid within the vaporizer or cools the radiator directly to provide cooling to the power transformer.

摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system and a packing module and column suitable for cryogenic rectification having packing sheets with top and bottom modifications in alternating sequence and preferably having top and bottom edges terminating in planes wherein capacity and mass transfer efficiency is enhanced and mechanical strength is not compromised.
摘要:
A cryogenic air separation system wherein feed air is initially processed to produce a vapor and a liquid, the vapor is then processed in the rectifying section of a reflux condenser to produce moderate purity nitrogen, and the liquid is processed in the stripping section of the reflux condenser to produce moderate purity oxygen.
摘要:
A heat exchanger having a first counterflow heat exchange unit with first and second segments wherein a flow of at least one product from a cryogenic air separation unit is channeled in a first direction along both the first and second segments and a second counterflow heat exchange unit is juxtaposed to the second segment of the first counterflow heat exchange unit and receives a flow of feed air which is channeled in a second direction that is counter to the first direction and allows heat exchange between the product and the air. A crossflow subcooling unit is juxtaposed to the first segment and receives at least one process cryogenic liquid from the air separation system for subcooling.
摘要:
A cross-corrugated structure packing module is provided for use in mass transfer or heat exchange columns and has particular applicability in severe service applications in which fouling, coking, and erosion are of concern. The structured packing module has a plurality of upright, parallel-extending, corrugated plates. Spacer elements are used to maintain the corrugations of adjacent plates in spaced apart relationship to reduce the opportunity for solids to accumulate on the surfaces of the plates. The plates are also free of apertures or surface treatments that would increase the opportunity for solids to accumulate on the plates.
摘要:
A baffle which extends over the cross section of a liquid-vapor contacting column and is suspended above a distributor floor. The baffle, having an open space, converges and mixes liquid flow falling from a liquid-vapor contacting zone above, before dispersing it to the distributor below. The open space of the baffle, may also be fitted with a mixing device for further enhancement of liquid mixing.
摘要:
A packing section includes a plurality of vertically oriented, diagonally cross-corrugated packing sheets defining a section height. The section height has a base region, a bulk region, and a top region. The base region has a first particular geometry different from the geometry of the bulk region.
