摘要:
Feed air is fed to a rectifying system (14, 15) for low-temperature separation, from which a liquid fraction (31, 32) is taken off and introduced into a first reservoir tank (33). The pressure of a variable rate of the liquid fraction (34) is increased (35). The liquid fraction (36) is evaporated under the elevated pressure by indirect heat exchange (12) and obtained as a gaseous pressurized product (37). A heat-transport medium circulates in a refrigeration cycle which has a cycle compressor (41, 42). A first partial stream (45) of the heat-transport medium (44) compressed in the cycle compressor (41, 42) is fed to the indirect heat exchange (12) to evaporate the liquid fraction (36) and is liquefied, at least in part, in the course of this. A second partial stream (59) of the heat-transport medium (44) compressed in the cycle compressor (41, 42) is expanded (43) so as to perform work. Liquefied heat-transport medium (45, 48) is buffered in a second reservoir tank (49).
摘要:
A plate heat exchanger for indirect heat exchange of several fluid flows (30, 40, 50) with a heat transfer medium/cooling medium (10, 20) in a heat exchanger core (9) has a plurality of heat exchange passages within the core for the heat transfer medium/cooling medium (10, 20), a first fluid flow (30, 40, 50) and a second fluid flow (30, 40, 50). All heat exchange passages for the first fluid flow (40) are located In a first component area, and all heat exchange passages for the second fluid flow (30) are located in a second component area. The first and the second component areas do not intersect and each extend over the entire height of the heat exchanger core (9). The heat exchanger is particularly suitable for use in air-separation processes.
摘要:
The method and the device are used for the cryogenic separation of air. Compressed and purified application air (9, 10, 20) is cooled in a main heat exchanger (30) and is at least partially fed (12, 33) to a rectifying column (50). A first partial flow (26) of the application air is fed to the main heat exchanger (30), is at least partially withdrawn at a first intermediate temperature from the main heat exchanger (28), and is fed to a cold compression (29). The first partial flow (26) is warmed up (27) upstream of its withdrawal (28) at the first intermediate temperature in the main heat exchanger (30).
摘要:
For adjusting the capacity of a low-temperature rectification unit having a high pressure column and a low pressure column in which a fluid is introduced into the high pressure column (1) and in which liquid from the bottom of the high pressure column is directed into the low pressure column (2), the amount of liquid that is removed from the bottom of high pressure and fed to the low pressure column (2) is controlled via flow adjustment (4), wherein a nominal value for flow adjustment (4) is set to a desired amount of flow, and the liquid level of the liquid at the bottom of column (1) that operates at higher pressure is fixed without a set nominal value corresponding to the amount of liquid that is removed.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for air separation by low temperature rectification are described in which argon is obtained exclusively by rectification. A crude argon column (24) is equipped with at least 150 theoretical plates in the form of low pressure drop packing so that, in it, a substantially complete separation of the oxygen is possible, e.g., less than about 10 ppm, preferably less than 1 ppm oxygen.

The invention relates to a bath condenser with a condenser block (1) that has evaporation passages (8) for a liquid and liquefaction passages (2) for a heating medium and at least two circulation sections (7) that are located vertically on top of one another. The evaporation passages (8) each have on the lower end of a circulation section (7) at least one entry opening (9) for the liquid and on the upper end of a circulation section (7) at least one exit opening (10), for each circulation section (7) there being a liquid storage tank (15) that is flow-connected to the entry opening (9) and the exit opening (10) of the circulation section (7) and that has a gas offtake (18). The inlet into the gas offtake (18) is not located in the area in front of the side (12) of the circulation section (7) in which the exit opening (10) of the circulation section (7) is located.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for recovery of pure argon from air utilize a rectification system comprising at least one air separating column (9) and a pure argon column (25). An argon-enriched mixture (24) of air gases is introduced into the pure argon column (25) in the lower region of which an essentially nitrogen-free argon product (26) is recovered. The head fraction (28) of the pure argon column (25), is liquefied at least partly by indirect heat exchange (29) using the evaporating cooling medium (11, 30). The condensate (28a) formed thereby is returned into the pure argon column. The indirect heat exchange (29) is carried out by means of a cooling medium (11, 30) which has an oxygen content of at least 10%. Independently thereof, the lower region of the pure argon column (25) is heated by indirect heat exchange (27) by means of a heating medium (11) in a liquid state, for example, with sump liquid from a pressure column (8).
摘要:
For extracting argon, air is separated in a rectifying system comprising at least one air separating column and one crude argon column. An argon-containing oxygen fraction is taken from the air separating column and is introduced into a crude argon column. In the upper area of the crude argon column, a crude argon fraction is removed and a first reflux liquid is charged. A first residual fraction is taken from the lower area of the crude argon column. The crude argon fraction is introduced into the lower area of a semipure column. In the upper area of the semipure column, an argon fraction is taken which has reduced oxygen, and a second reflux liquid is charged. From the lower area of the semipure column, a second residual fraction is taken which forms the first reflux liquid for the crude argon column.
摘要:
The process serves for generating a pressurized product by low-temperature air fractionation. Feed air (1) is compressed (2), purified (4), cooled (9) and fed to a distillation column system (12) for nitrogen-oxygen separation (11, 23). A liquid product stream (13) is taken off from the distillation column system (12) for nitrogen-oxygen separation, brought (14) in the liquid state to an elevated pressure (PIV) and at this elevated pressure (PIV) vaporized or pseudovaporized (9). The (pseudo)vaporized product stream (16) is fed (17) as pressurized product to a gas pressure reservoir (19) which has a variable pressure (PA). The elevated pressure (PIV) is varied. The elevated pressure (PIV) is varied as a function of the pressure (PA) of the gas pressure reservoir (19).

The invention relates to a process for the low-temperature fractionation of air in a rectification unit, which comprises a pressure column (1) a low-pressure column (2) and a condenser-evaporator system having at least two falling-film evaporators (203, 204). Oxygen-rich liquid from the low-pressure column (2) is introduced into the evaporation passages of the first and second falling-film evaporators (203, 204) and is partially evaporated. Unevaporated oxygen-rich liquid from the first falling-film evaporator (203) is transferred into the evaporation passages of the second falling-film evaporator (204).
