Description

Appareil de refroidissement et d'épuration d'air destiné à une unité de distillation cryogénique d'air La présente invention est relative à un appareil de refroidissement et d'épuration d'air destiné à une unité de distillation cryogénique d'air.
Dans un appareil de séparation d'air par distillation cryogénique, l'air est comprimé dans un compresseur et ensuite refroidi par échange de chaleur directe avec de l'air dans une tour de refroidissement. L'air refroidi est ensuite io épuré. Les épurations dans les unités de séparation d'air permettent de retirer principalement l'eau et le C02 de l'air avant l'entrée dans l'unité de distillation cryogénique, placée dans une boite froide. Un ensemble de vannes et tuyauteries permettent le transit de l'air à épurer et l'azote impur qui sert à la régénération des bouteilles d'épuration. Cet ensemble de vannes et tuyaux est posé à plat au sol et y présente un encombrement important. Le rapport de la hauteur et la longueur de l'ensemble est proche de 1 Lors de l'installation de cet ensemble de vannes et tuyaux à l'intérieur d'un nouveau bâtiment (pour des raisons de très grand froid ou chaud ou tout autre) il est intéressant de réduire la largeur de cet ensemble pour réduire la largeur du bâtiment à construire. De même pour l'installation de cet ensemble dans un bâtiment existant (plutôt long et pas large) réduire la largeur de cet ensemble tuyauteries et vannes peut aider considérablement.
Un des moyens de réduire la largeur de cet ensemble est, par l'intermédiaire d'une conception des tuyauteries différente, d'allonger cet ensemble. Le rapport entre la hauteur et la largeur de l'ensemble devient très inférieur à 1.
De ce fait, l'entraxe de ces bouteilles d'épuration liées à cet ensemble va aussi s'allonger.
Un appareil selon le préambule de la revendication 1 est décrit dans EP-3o A-1672301.
Selon l'invention, la tour de refroidissement d'air par contact direct avec l'eau est installée entre les deux bouteilles d'épuration.

WO 2012/004125
Apparatus for cooling and purifying air for a unit of cryogenic distillation of air The present invention relates to a cooling apparatus and for purifying air for a cryogenic distillation unit for air.
In an apparatus for separating air by cryogenic distillation, the air is compressed in a compressor and then cooled by heat exchange direct with air in a cooling tower. The cooled air is then I purified. The purges in the air separation units make it possible to remove mainly water and C02 from the air before entering the unit of distillation cryogenic, placed in a cold box. A set of valves and pipelines allow the transit of air to be purified and the impure nitrogen that serves to the regeneration of the purification bottles. This set of valves and pipes is laid flat on the ground and has a large footprint. The report of the height and length of the set is close to 1 When installing this set of valves and pipes inside of a new building (for reasons of extreme cold or heat or anything other) it is interesting to reduce the width of this set to reduce the width of the building to be built. Similarly for the installation of this set in an existing building (rather long and not wide) reduce the width of this together piping and valves can help considerably.
One of the ways to reduce the width of this set is, by through a different piping design, to extend this together. The ratio between the height and the width of the whole becomes very less than 1.
As a result, the spacing of these cleaning bottles related to this set will also lie down.
An apparatus according to the preamble of claim 1 is described in EP-A
3 A-1672301.
According to the invention, the cooling tower of air by direct contact with the water is installed between the two purification bottles.
