摘要:
Oxygen from the bottom of a low pressure column (4) is purified from hydrocarbons in a first auxiliary column (12), and the vapor at the top of this column is distilled in a second auxiliary column (17) heated at the base thereof with air at medium pressure. Ultra-pure oxygen is produced at the bottom of the second auxiliary column. Application in the production of ultra-pure oxygen for the electronic industry.
摘要:
The heat exchanger is of the type comprising a stack of parallel plates and, between these plates, undulant spacers, each pair of plates defining a passage for fluid of generally flat shape. Certain passages (20) are subdivided over one part of their length into two closed subpassages (at 45, 57) at locations longitudinally offset relative to each other. The exchanger is applicable in cryogenic heat exchangers of installations for the distillation of air.
摘要:
In this process, which incorporates an integral cascade, the coolant mixture issuing from the penultimate stage (1B) of the compressor cycle (1) is delivered to a distillation apparatus (5) the head vapor of which is cooled (in 24) to a temperature significantly lower than the ambient temperature, then separated into two phases (in 6C); the vapor stage is supplied to the last stage (1C) of the compressor, and the liquid phase constitutes a coolant fluid for the hot part (8) of the heat exchange line (7).
摘要:
In this process for the production of gaseous oxygen under pressure by air distillation in a double column, pumping liquid oxygen withdrawn at the bottom of the low pressure column, and vaporization of compressed liquid oxygen by heat exchange with air at high pressure, all the air to be distilled is compressed at the high air pressure, followed by expanding, at the pressure of the mean pressure column, the excess fraction of this air in a turbine which is decelerated by means of an air booster, and at least one liquid product is withdrawn from the apparatus.
摘要:
The air distillation double column (1,2) includes an apparatus for vaporizing oxygen and condensing nitrogen which comprises on one hand a running type main heat exchanger (7) which is partially immersed during stoppage of the equipment and on the other hand an auxiliary heat exchanger (20) which alone is responsible for liquid vaporization when the equipment is restarted.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for highly efficient production of industrial gases by the cryogenic distillation of air, wherein a feed stream of compressed air, is supercharged to high pressure, cooled, and mixed with various recycle streams of supercharged air, to regulate the expander turbine operating temperature. The need for pre-cooling equipment downstream of the supercharger, which is widely employed in industry to manage the temperature of the incoming compressed air stream, is eliminated.
摘要:
In this process of the liquid nitrogen/rich liquid HPN swing type, the connection between the head of the column (4) and the liquid nitrogen holding tank (7) is effected, for the two flow directions of the liquid nitrogen, by a single conduit (12) equipped with a pressure reducing device (13). The direction and the flow rate of the liquid nitrogen flow are controlled by the variations of the pressure of the column, and the holding tanks of liquid nitrogen and rich liquid are maintained at constant pressures.
摘要:
As soon as the apparatus is started, a flow of liquid nitrogen which is at least equal to the nominal flow of gaseous nitrogen is introduced in the head portion of the column, then the flow of liquid nitrogen is adjusted to a small fraction of this nominal flow. Application to the production of a flow of gaseous nitrogen which is variable and moderate.
