Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Tieftemperatur-Zerlegung von Luft gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1 sowie eine entsprechende Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 6.The The invention relates to a process for the cryogenic decomposition of Air according to the generic term of claim 1 and a corresponding device according to the preamble of claim 6.
Verfahren und Vorrichtungen zur Tieftemperatur-Zerlegung von Luft sind zum Beispiel aus Hausen/Linde, Tieftemperaturtechnik, 2. Auflage 1985, Kapitel 4 (Seiten 281 bis 337) bekannt. Das Destilliersäulen-System der Erfindung kann als Einsäulensystem zur Stickstoff-Sauerstoff-Trennung ausgebildet sein, als Zweisäulensystem (zum Beispiel als klassisches Linde-Doppelsäulensystem), oder auch als Drei- oder Mehrsäulensystem. Es kann zusätzlich zu den Kolonnen zur Stickstoff-Sauerstoff-Trennung weitere Vorrichtungen zur Gewinnung anderer Luftkomponenten, insbesondere von Edelgasen aufweisen, beispielsweise eine Argongewinnung.method and devices for the cryogenic separation of air are for Example from Hausen / Linde, cryogenic technology, 2nd edition 1985, chapter 4 (pages 281 to 337) known. The distillation column system of the invention may as a single pillar system be designed for nitrogen-oxygen separation, as a two-column system (for example, as a classical Linde double column system), or as a or multi-column system. It may additionally to the columns for nitrogen-oxygen separation other devices for recovery other air components, in particular of noble gases, for example an argon recovery.
Verfahren
und Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Art sind aus
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein derartiges Verfahren und eine entsprechende Vorrichtung anzugeben, die wirtschaftlich besonders günstig, insbesondere besonders flexibel zu betreiben sind.Of the Invention is based on the object, such a method and to provide a corresponding device, the economically particularly favorable, in particular are particularly flexible to operate.
Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass kein Teil der in dem Kreislaufverdichter verdichteten Luft in die beziehungsweise eine der Trennsäulen des Destilliersäulen-Systems eingeleitet wird.These Task is solved by that no part of the air compressed in the cycle compressor introduced into the or one of the separation columns of the distillation column system becomes.
Durch die klare Trennung zwischen Kreislauf- und Einsatzluft kann der Luftkreislauf besonders flexibel gefahren werden, ohne dass der Trennvorgang im Destilliersäulen-System wesentlich beeinflusst wird. Insbesondere kann die Kreislaufmenge in einem weiten Bereich an den aktuellen Kältebedarf angepasst werden. Somit kann der Prozess beispielsweise mit verschieden großem Flüssigproduktanteil gefahren werden. Der Flüssigproduktanteil kann in einem speziellen Fall auch auf Null heruntergefahren werden; die Anlage wird in dieser Zeit als reiner Gasapparat betrieben.By the clear separation between circulation and feed air can the Air circulation can be driven very flexible, without the Separation process in the distillation column system essential being affected. In particular, the amount of circulation in one wide range can be adapted to the current cooling requirements. Thus, the process, for example, with different sized liquid product content be driven. The liquid product content can in a special case, shut down to zero; the plant is operated as a pure gas apparatus during this time.
Vorzugsweise wird die gesamte im Kreislaufverdichter komprimierte Luftmenge wieder zum Eintritt des Kreislaufverdichters zurückgeführt. Es müssen dann lediglich die Kreislaufverluste ergänzt werden, insbesondere durch Zuführung eines Teils der in dem Hauptluftverdichter komprimierten Luft zum Eintritt oder zu einer Zwischenstufe des Kreislaufverdichters. Falls der Eintritt des Kreislaufverdichters unter einem niedrigeren Druck als der Austritt des Hauptluftverdichters betrieben wird, muss diese Ergänzungsluft im ersten Fall stromaufwärts des Eintritts des Kreislaufverdichters entspannt werden. Die Rektifikationsluft (der erste Luftstrom) ist damit vollständig vom Kreislauf entkoppelt.Preferably the total air volume compressed in the cycle compressor is restored returned to the entry of the cycle compressor. It then only need the circulation losses added be, especially by feeding a part of the air compressed in the main air compressor to Admission or to an intermediate stage of the cycle compressor. If the inlet of the cycle compressor under a lower pressure As the outlet of the main air compressor is operated, this must make-up air in the first case upstream the entry of the cycle compressor can be relaxed. The rectification air (The first air flow) is thus completely decoupled from the circuit.
Vorzugsweise ist das Destilliersäulen-System als Zwei- oder Mehr-Säulen-System ausgebildet und umfasst eine Hochdrucksäule und eine Niederdrucksäule, die miteinander in Wärmeaustausch-Beziehung stehen. In einer speziellen Ausführungsform weist die Niederdrucksäule keinen Kopfkondensator auf.Preferably is the distillation column system as a two or more column system formed and includes a high pressure column and a low pressure column, the with each other in heat exchange relationship stand. In a specific embodiment the low pressure column no head capacitor on.
Vorzugsweise wird das Hauptwärmetauscher-System, in dem die Einsatzluft für das Destilliersäulen-System abgekühlt wird und das Kreislaufwärmetauscher-System, in dem die Kreislaufluft abgekühlt und wieder angewärmt wird, durch voneinander getrennte Wärmetauscherblöcke gebildet.Preferably becomes the main heat exchanger system, in which the feed air for the distillation column system chilled and the cycle heat exchanger system, in which the circulating air cooled and warmed up again is formed by separate heat exchanger blocks.
Jedes der beiden Wärmeaustausch-Systeme kann dabei durch einen oder mehrere – parallel oder seriell miteinander verbundene – Wärmetauscherblöcke gebildet werden. "Voneinander getrennt" bedeutet hier eine klare Zuordnung der Hauptwärmetauscher- und der Kreislaufwärmetauscher-Funktion. Dabei können die beiden Wärmeaustausch-Systeme jedoch über Ausgleichsströme miteinander verbunden sein.each the two heat exchange systems can thereby by one or more - parallel or serially with each other connected - formed heat exchanger blocks become. "mutual separated "means Here is a clear assignment of the main heat exchanger and the cycle heat exchanger function. there can However, the two heat exchange systems with each other via equalizing currents be connected.
Die Aufgabe wird außerdem durch die Vorrichtung gemäß Patentanspruch 6 gelöst. Weitere Ausgestaltungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in den Ansprüchen 7 bis 10 beschrieben.The Task will as well by the device according to claim 6 solved. Further embodiments of the device according to the invention are in the claims 7 to 10 described.
