摘要:
A method for generating refrigeration, especially over a wide temperature range including cryogenic temperatures, wherein a non-toxic, non-flammable and low or non-ozone-depleting mixture is formed from defined components and maintained in variable load form through compression, cooling, expansion and warming steps in a refrigeration cycle.
摘要:
A method for directly producing lower purity oxygen with high recovery, employing a non-adiabatic distillation device within a distillation column to provide high purity liquid nitrogen reflux to the upper section of the column. This invention provides for a variety of feed air options to the non-adiabatic distillation device and to the distillation column.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system for producing argon employing an argon stripping column which receives a feed in its upper portion from an associated cryogenic air separation plant, and which is reboiled by another fluid taken from the cryogenic air separation plant.
摘要:
A cryogenic air separation system wherein base load pressure energy is supplied to the feed air by a base load compressor and custom load pressure energy is supplied to the feed air by a bridge machine having one or more turbine booster compressors and one or more product boiler booster compressors, all of the compressors of the bridge machine driven by power supplied through a single gear case.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system for producing oxygen having a feed air preparation system and a plurality of same size cold box modules operating in parallel and in conjunction with the feed air preparation system.
摘要:
A dual column cryogenic rectification system for producing high purity nitrogen at elevated pressure wherein top vapor from a first column is processed in an intermediate heat exchanger of a second column and oxygen-rich vapor from the second column is turboexpanded to generate refrigeration for the separation.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system employing two rectifying sections in parallel within either the lower pressure column of a double column or in a side column, for producing product oxygen at both low and high purity.
摘要:
A system for liquefying low boiling point gases wherein a mixture of feed gas and recirculating refrigerant gas is compressed, a first portion turboexpanded, a second portion compressed to a supercritical pressure, and the supercritical fluid cooled against the turboexpanded fluid to produce cryogenic liquid.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system for producing high pressure oxygen wherein a portion of the feed air is condensed by indirect heat exchange with pressurized liquid oxygen and then passed, preferably after subcooling, into the lower pressure column of a double column system.
摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system for processing feed air wherein a defined large flow of high pressure nitrogen shelf vapor is recovered directly from the higher pressure column of a double column, pressurized oxygen liquid is vaporized to produce high pressure oxygen product against a portion of the feed air, and the resulting condensed feed air portion is split in a defined manner and fed into each of the higher and lower pressure columns of the double column.
