A first heat exchanger 5 is arranged in front of the liquid oxygen evaporator. The lower tower is provided with a lower tower outlet 37 which is communicated with the liquid oxygen evaporator. The lower column is also provided with a lower column recycle outlet 38 which communicates to the main chiller.
