    摘要: A cryogenic distillation process for the production of oxygen and nitrogen is provided, which entails:a) providing a feed stream of clean, dry and compressed air,b) cooling at least a fraction of the compressed air and introducing the same into a high pressure column, and separating the same into nitrogen-rich stream at the top of the column and an oxygen-rich stream at the bottom of the column, wherein the overhead of the high pressure column exchanges heat with both the bottom of the low pressure column and the bottom of an intermediate column,c) introducing at least a fraction of the oxygen-rich stream into the intermediate column to afford a top liquid fraction A and a bottom liquid fraction B, the overhead of the intermediate column exchanging heat with the low pressure column at a location above the bottom reboiler of the low pressure column, wherein the pressure of the intermediate column is lower than the high pressure column but higher than the low pressure column,d) introducing at least a fraction of the liquid fractions A and B into the low pressure column as feed,e) feeding at least a fraction of the nitrogen-rich stream of step b) to the low pressure column as reflux, andf) recovering an oxygen-rich stream product at the bottom of the low pressure column and a low pressure nitrogen- rich stream at the top of the low pressure which further comprises recovering a medium pressure nitrogen stream column.

    摘要: A dedicated supervisory control system for a steam turbine-generator comprising a hierarchy of microcomputer subsystems interactive with a conventional analog electrohydraulic control system to provide control and monitoring capabilities during all operating phases of the turbine-generator. The separate microcomputer subsystems are programmed for coordinated interaction and communication through shared, dual-port read/write memory units and each microcomputer subsystem is programmed and configured to handle a separate group of control responsibilities in a distributed control system. The microcomputer hierarchy includes an input and calculations computer having means for interfacing with analog input data sources and sensors which report on various operating parameters of the turbine-generator and from which thermal and mechanical stress and other derived quantities are calculated; a display and communications computer adapted to interface with a plant computer and with an operator control panel and other display and readout devices whereby operating personnel may interact with the control system; and a control computer, standing at the top of the hierarchy, for receiving information from the other computers, for making decisions based on that information and, through input/output ports, for providing the electrohydraulic control system with directions for optimal control of the turbine-generator within its thermal and mechanical limitations. The dedicated supervisory controller provides a plurality of operating modes.

    摘要: A heat exchanger such as a boiler comprises a liquid section having a wall with a plurality of sleeve pipes extending therethrough. The fire tubes for conducting high-temperature gases extend through the respective sleeve pipes and upwardly in the liquid section without being directly coupled to the wall of the liquid section. The fire tubes extend in the form of a gentle curve such as a spiral through the liquid section and extend outwardly through an upper wall of the liquid section through respective additional sleeve elements and connect at their upper ends into an outlet gas chamber. Liquid is circulated by natural circulation from the liquid section through an exterior duct to the hollow sleeve elements and around the fire tubes and back upwardly into the liquid section. The gently curved form of the fire tubes inside the liquid section and their free mounting at their passage through the sleeve elements provides a construction which is capable of withstanding the high thermal stresses which are present in such boilers.
