    摘要: The invention relates to a method and installation for separation of air by means of cryogenic distillation. According to the invention, all of the air is brought to a high pressure greater than the medium pressure and purified. Part of the purified air flow (11) is cooled in an exchange line (9) and, subsequently, divided into two fractions (13, 15). Each of the fractions expands in a turbine (17, 19), the intake pressure of the two turbines being greater than the medium pressure by at least 5 bars. Moreover, the discharge pressure of at least one of the two turbines is essentially equal to the medium pressure. At least part of the air that was expanded in at least one of the turbines is conveyed to the medium pressure column (100) of a double or triple column. Subsequently, a cold booster (23), which is mechanically connected to one (19) of the expansion turbines, draws the air which was cooled in the main exchange line and releases said air at a temperature greater than the intake temperature. The fluid thus compressed is reintroduced into the main exchange line, in which at least one part of the fluid condenses. In addition, at least one pressurised liquid (25) originating from one of the columns (200) is vaporised in the exchange line at an evaporating temperature and the turbine (17) which is not connected to the cold booster is connected to a booster (5) followed by a cooler.

    摘要: In a single column distillation system for obtaining gaseous and liquid nitrogen with a variable proportions of liquid product by low-temperature separation from air, a first portion (12, 13) of nitrogen-rich fraction (5, 7, 8) is fed downstream of circulation compressor (9) to the liquefaction chamber of a condenser-evaporator (14) associated with the single column and condensed under a pressure higher than the operating pressure of the single column (4). A liquid oxygen-enriched fraction (228, 231) from the distillation column system is at least partially evaporated in the evaporation chamber of condenser-evaporator (14). A portion (18) of nitrogen-rich liquid (15, 16) from condenser-evaporator (14) is drawn off at least at times as liquid product. A second oxygen-enriched gas (221, 521) is removed from one of columns (546) of the distillation system and/or from the evaporation chamber of condenser-evaporator (14), machine expanded(23), and heated in main heat exchanger (2).

    摘要: For the method, air (103, 104) is fractionated in a medium-pressure column (6) and a low-pressure column (5). The sump heating (3) of the low-pressure column (5) is carried out with a second airflow (204), which is liquefied at the same time. An intermediate fraction (18) is taken from the low-pressure column (5) and evaporated in the head condenser (10) of the medium-pressure column (6). The thereby resulting vapor (19) is returned to the low-pressure column. In the event that impure oxygen is obtained, the second airflow (203, 204) is recompressed (202) upstream from the sump heating (3), external energy being supplied, to a pressure above that of the medium-pressure column, the pressure being relieved downstream from the sump heating (3) in a first pressure relief valve (208) to the pressure of the medium-pressure column (6). If pure oxygen is recovered, the sump heating of the low-pressure column is operated with an airflow, which at the same time is condensed at least partially and is under a pressure, which is less than the pressure of the medium-pressure column. If oxygen of high and low purity is to be recovered, a portion of the evaporated first intermediate fraction and/or a fraction obtained below the second intermediate site are recovered from the low-pressure column as oxygen product of lower purity.

    摘要: An air separation process of the "pumped" type, in which liquid oxygen is removed from a double distillation column and is pumped to a higher production pressure and then vaporized under that pressure. The incoming air is divided into several streams. A first stream is compressed to the medium pressure, cooled and sent to the double distillation column (7). A second stream is compressed above about 25 bars, but below its condensation pressure during vaporization of the liquid oxygen under pressure, then cooled to an intermediate temperature, at which a portion of the air continues its cooling and is liquified (in 20A), then expanded (in 21A) and sent to the double column, while the rest is work expanded (in 4). Use in large size installations for the production of oxygen.

    摘要: Air is compressed in a compressor, cooled in a main heat exchanger, partially condensed in a reboiler-condenser, introduced into a higher pressure rectifier, and separated therein into nitrogen and oxygen-enriched liquid. Resulting nitrogen is condensed in further reboiler-condensers. One part of the condensate is used as reflux in the higher pressure rectifier and another part as reflux in a lower pressure rectifier. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid is withdrawn from the high pressure rectifier and sent to an intermediate pressure rectifier which is reboiled by one of the further reboiler-condensers and in which further nitrogen is separated. A stream of liquid further enriched in oxygen is withdrawn from the bottom of the intermediate pressure rectifier and is separated in the lower pressure rectifier and impure and pure oxygen products are withdrawn respectively therefrom. In addition an argon-enriched oxygen stream is withdrawn from the lower pressure rectifier through an outlet and separated in an argon rectifier. Further impure oxygen product is withdrawn from the bottom of the argon rectifier.
