摘要:
The invention relates to a method and device for obtaining compressed oxygen and compressed nitrogen by the low-temperature separation of air in a distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, said distillation column system having at least one high-pressure column (8) and one low-pressure column (460), wherein the low-pressure column (460) is in a heat-exchanging connection with the high-pressure column (8) by means of a main condenser (461) designed as a condenser-evaporator. Feed air is compressed in an air compressor (2). The compressed feed air (6, 734, 802, 840) is cooled down in a main heat exchanger (20) and at least partially introduced into the high-pressure column (8). An oxygen-enriched liquid (462, 465) is removed from the high-pressure column (8) and fed to the low-pressure column (460) at a first intermediate position (464, 467, 906). A nitrogen-enriched liquid (468, 470) is removed from the high-pressure column (8) and/or the main condenser (461) and fed to the head of the low-pressure column (460). A liquid oxygen flow (11, 12) is removed from the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, brought to an elevated pressure in the liquid state (13), introduced into the main heat exchanger (20) at said elevated pressure, evaporated or pseudo-evaporated and heated to approximately ambient temperature in the main heat exchanger (20), and finally obtained as a gaseous compressed oxygen product (14). A high-pressure process flow (34, 734) is brought into indirect heat exchange with the oxygen flow in the main heat exchanger (20) and then depressurized (36, 38; 736, 738), wherein the depressurized high-pressure flow (37, 737) is introduced at least partially in the liquid state into the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation. A gaseous circuit nitrogen flow (18, 19) is drawn from the high-pressure column and at least partially (21) compressed in a circuit compressor (22). A first sub-flow (45, 46; 244, 242, 230; 845, 846) of the circuit nitrogen flow is removed from the circuit compressor (22, 322), cooled down in the main heat exchanger (20), at least partially condensed in the bottom evaporator (9, 209) of the high-pressure column (8) in indirect heat exchange with the bottom liquid of the high-pressure column (8), and conducted back into the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation. A second sub-flow of the circuit nitrogen flow is branched off upstream and/or downstream of the circuit compressor and/or from an intermediate stage of the circuit compressor at a product pressure (P, P1, P2, P3, P4) and obtained as a compressed nitrogen product (27, 29, 53, 564, 565). The circuit compressor (22, 322) is designed as a hot compressor and is driven by means of external energy.

All of the feed air is compressed in the main air compressor to a first air pressure which is at least 3 bar higher than the operating pressure of the high-pressure column. A first part of the compressed total air flow, as first air flow at the first air pressure, is cooled and liquefied or pseudo-liquefied in the main heat exchanger, then expanded and introduced into the distillation column system.

A method and device to produce oxygen by the low-temperature separation of air at variable energy consumption. A distillation column system comprises a high-pressure column, a low-pressure column and a main condenser, a secondary condenser and a supplementary condenser. Gaseous nitrogen from the high-pressure column is liquefied in the main condenser in indirect heat exchange with an intermediate liquid from the low-pressure column. A first liquid oxygen stream from the bottom of the low-pressure column is evaporated in the secondary condenser in indirect heat exchange with feed air to obtain a gaseous oxygen product. The supplementary condenser serves as a bottom heating device for the low-pressure column and is heated by means of a first nitrogen stream from the distillation column system, which nitrogen stream was compressed previously in a cold compressor.
