Preferably, the control method of air-separating plant further includes:After the liquid evaporating completely left in upper tower, control Control valve is closed.
After the liquid evaporation that is left in upper tower is complete, when tower temperature degree slightly rises, closing control valve prevents humid air from passing through Oxygen output tube line, nitrogen export pipeline and dirty nitrogen export pipeline enter fractionating column system 1.Because at this time without liquid in upper tower It evaporates, the situation of superpressure will not occur in closing control valve fractionating column system 1.
In above-described embodiment, after the liquid evaporation that is left in upper tower is complete, oxygen control valve, nitrogen gas control valve and dirt are closed Nitrogen control valve avoids extraneous humid air from entering fractionating column by oxygen output tube line, nitrogen export pipeline and dirty nitrogen export pipeline In system 1.
After liquid evaporating completely, fractionating column system 1 exchanges heat together with thermal insulation material 2 with the external world, temperature rise, point Evaporate the gas expansion in Tower System 1, the pressure in fractionating column system 1 may be slightly higher than atmospheric pressure, it is also possible to equal to atmospheric pressure.
Preferably, the control method of air-separating plant further includes:Before air-separating plant is started shooting again, compressor is controlled 3 and molecular sieve adsorber 4 open, with to fractionating column system 1 carry out heat treatment.
In above-mentioned technical proposal, it is preferable that thermal insulation material 2 is pearlife.
Drain does not heat or even stays some liquid during shutdown, has raffinate to evaporate to form positive pressure in upper tower during beginning, even if Liquid evaporation is over, without positive pressure in fractionating column system 1, as shown in figure 5, although fractionating column system 1 and pearlife are low temperature shapes State, temperature can nature go up, temperature recovery curve is also unilateral upward, all always in the process risen, it is impossible to have by The process that reduces downwards of height will not cause volume-diminished to form negative pressure, and B places represent that liquid evaporation is complete in Fig. 5, and expression is again at C It opening and heats, pressure curve is divided to two sections in fractionating column system 1 in Fig. 6, and the Ith section has the rise of liquid pressure for vaporization, but actually still It is externally being vented, the IIth section does not have liquid, and gas raises temperature with pearlife in tower, and volume slowly expands, and pressure is also Raised, simply slope is smaller, but actually still represents that liquid evaporation is complete at externally exhaust (gas leakage), D, possible fractionating column 1 actual pressure of system is slightly higher than atmospheric pressure (atmospheric pressure is shown in dotted line a in Fig. 3), this stage can shut oxygen control valve, nitrogen Gas control valve and dirty nitrogen control valve, avoid humid air from entering as far as possible.As shown in fig. 6, the either the Ith, the IIth section, pressure begins It is more than atmospheric pressure P0 eventually, negative pressure will not be caused.
The air-separating plant includes some high-purity nitrogen plants, oxygen nitrogen double high equipment, three high equipment of oxygen nitrogen and argon, rare gas Extracting section or full extraction equipment.The control method of the air-separating plant the intermittent outage long period (it is general 48 it is small when with On) when, the liquid that when shutdown is not emptied in fractionating column keeps micro-positive pressure by its natural evaporation, shut down or start before system is not required Heating is thawed, and is shut down the long period suitable for cryogenic air separation plant of the front end with molecular sieve adsorber 4 but is not taken off pearlife inspection The occasion repaiied.
In one particular embodiment of the present invention, for a 6500m3/ h air separation equipments, the space division when shutting down Device drain does not heat, and also in upper Ta Neiliu, a small amount of liquid makes its natural evaporation, and the basic evaporative light of liquid (does not have after about 8 days It is evaporated 1 temperature of fractionating column system substantially not rise, is evaporated 1 temperature of aftercut Tower System and begins to ramp up, as shown in Figure 5), Liquid evaporation also results in the decline of main heat exchanger middle portion temperature, and hot junction is perspired frosting on a small quantity.When restarting after by 26 days, only to being System purge within more than 0.5 hours, all devices is not warmed to room temperature completely, when purging terminates to open turbo-expander For argon column temperature also -30 DEG C or so (argon column is generally relatively difficult to heat), air-separating plant start cools speed also faster, Hydrops terminates after stopping an expanding machine, and main heat exchanger middle portion temperature is also normal quickly, and air-separating plant is running all just afterwards Often.
The time of 0.5h is only purged, first, because the equipment of molecular sieve flow molecular sieve adsorber in running before itself 4 is completely normal, goes out that the carbon dioxide equal size of absorber is very low, and in addition main heat exchanger resistance does not also raise, as long as system is not There is negative suction, humid air will not go deep into system;Second is that even if in product pipe (oxygen output tube line, the nitrogen efferent duct to backflow Line and dirty nitrogen export pipeline) nozzle freeze have a small amount of moisture, after purging even normal boot-strap is restarted, go out from product pipe The gas not only low pressure drying re-heat room temperature again that backflows come, can take away moisture removing.If it on the contrary, is heated after drain If, cause negative suction, humid air enters, just more thorough heating purging of required long period when restarting, experience need compared with Thoroughly to heat again, 10h~12h is generally wanted, causes energy waste (a set of 6500m instead3Add up to before and after/h air separation plants Heat about 150,000 KWh of 34h power consumptions).
Even if causing to move outside cold when raffinate evaporates in tower, export to form certain low temperature in product pipe, at most also only can In product pipe exit, inner wall condenses minute quantity humid air, will not enter in equipment, these moisture pass through in the gas that backflows of driving It is just to be blown down.
In conclusion the control method of air-separating plant provided in an embodiment of the present invention, when shutting down, close compressor 3 and molecular sieve adsorber 4 so that fractionating column system 1 does not heat, and fractionating column system 1 and pearlife is made to exchange heat and temperature raises, into And the pressure in fractionating column system 1 is caused not less than atmospheric pressure, negative suction will not to be caused, and then extraneous humid air cannot be introduced into fractionation Tower System 1 avoids heating aftercut Tower System 1 from being reduced with 1 temperature of fractionating column system caused by pearlife heat exchange, and then causes Fractionating column system 1 there is negative inhale.
