Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing liquid air with a Oxygen content between 16 and 21 mol% in a low-temperature process, where atmospheric air is used as the feed gas in a warm part of the Process water vapor, carbon dioxide and airborne contaminants can be removed by cleaning, by compaction and work Relaxing process streams generated cold and in a cold part of the Process by low temperature rectification the liquid air is obtained.
- the invention also relates to a condenser for performing the method according to one of claims 1 to 9 with a cleaning station, with at least one Device for compressing process gas, with at least one device for work-relieving expansion of process gas and with a rectification column separation stages, head cooling and one installed in the rectification column Sump heating.
- Air becomes one Low-temperature process liquefied, subjected to a low-temperature rectification and one liquid air product with an oxygen content between 16.5 and 21% oxygen manufactured.
- This air is made up of an oxygen and a nitrogen product mixed (Synthetic Liquid Air, SLA).
- SLA Synthetic Liquid Air
- the object of the invention is therefore, the liquid air with less effort to manufacture as it is required as a product.
- the liquid air under Use less than four theoretical plates as a liquid top product is generated in the rectification and that also a liquid bottom product of the rectification, used exergetically and as warm residual gas to the Atmosphere or at least partially used in cleaning. So far, one had to use an order of magnitude more theoretical floors producing an oxygen and a nitrogen product is now only a small one To do a fraction of the cutting work.
- the extraction of liquid air as Top product also saves intermediate storage of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.
- impurities for example hydrocarbons. The exergy content of the bottom product is largely used and the residual gas generated after use can be used be used for further use.
- the Cleaning carried out adsorptively, the residual gas as regeneration and / or Purge gas can be used. Because the liquid bottom product from the rectification is taken to an accumulation of hydrocarbons at the Avoid rectification and in the air product and there for the adsorptive cleaning Purge and regeneration gas is required, the use of the residual gas saves one otherwise providing regeneration and purge gas.
- the atmospheric air can be a warmed gas stream from the cold part of the Process mixed and the resulting warm mixed flow to one Initial pressure compressed for work-related relaxation and then cleaned become.
- the atmospheric air can be precompressed and a warmed gas flow out mixed into the cold part of the process and the resulting warm mixed flow compressed at an initial pressure for work-related relaxation and afterwards getting cleaned.
- the most favorable configuration of the compression and cleaning is by Optimizing the process and thereby determining which compressors are on the market are available.
- the purified warm mixed stream compressed to the initial pressure is preferred Countercurrent to a cold gas and the liquid bottom product of the rectification part to an initial temperature for work-related relaxation pre-cooled and further cooled by the work-relieving relaxation during a other part of said warm mixed flow in countercurrent both pre-cooled as well as further cooled, at least partially liquefied and then isenthalp relaxed and fed to the rectification as a choke flow.
- a head gas from the Rectification fed and both together as the cold gas for cooling in the Counterflow can be used. This configuration of the inventive method when both gas flows at the same pressure available.
- the liquid bottom product can cool the warm mixed stream evaporated and warmed.
- the cold content of the bottom product used in a cheap way.
- liquid bottom product for indirect cooling of the warm mixed stream evaporated, heated to an inlet temperature of a residual gas turbine over the Residual gas turbine directed, thereby cooled back and again for cooling the warm mixed current used.
- Work relaxation in the Residual gas turbine has advantages if there is a sufficiently large pressure difference between the Rectification pressure and the atmosphere or use in cleaning is present.
- Characteristic of the liquefier according to the invention is that the sump heater the rectification column as indirect heating with an electric heater or with a heating tube arrangement is executed, the heating tube arrangement being a suitable one leads warm fluid, preferably a warm process gas, and that the number of Separation stages of a theoretical number of plates of less than four theoretical plates corresponds.
- the electric heater is particularly suitable for small systems where a correspondingly higher power consumption is not significant compared to one Effort for installing a heating tube arrangement with associated Process gas lines.
- the small number of separation stages guarantees one low total pressure drop for the gas conversion in the rectification column.
- On Top condenser is omitted, since liquid from the reactor flow leads to the column return forms.
- columns are included Capacitors and used with a variety of isolators. The The condenser according to the invention thus requires less investment and because of low pressure drop in the column less energy.
- the cleaning station is preferably designed with switchable Molsiebadsorbem, wherein at least one adsorber with process gas to be cleaned and at least one further adsorber are charged with regeneration gas or purge gas, whereby as Regeneration gas or purge gas residual gas from the condenser can be used.
- the compression devices are preferably designed as turbo compressors. she can in the design of the method with a pre-compression of the air and post-compression (see above) via a common shaft and only one Be motor driven.
- the devices for work relaxation are preferred as turbines executed, the turbines particularly preferably in a turbine / booster arrangement or are integrated in a turbine / generator arrangement.
- the invention is explained in more detail using an embodiment with a figure.
- the Figure shows an inventive method with admixing a heated Gas flow to atmospheric air.
- the figure shows a schematic representation of an embodiment of the inventive method and the liquefier according to the invention.
- Atmospheric air 1 together with a warmed partial stream 2 from the cold part of the process as a warm mixed stream 3 via a compressor 4, usually with Intercooling between compressor stages (not shown in the figure), and one After cooler 5 with water separator and a cleaning 6 with switchable Molsiebadsorbern directed.
- a partial flow 7 is in a heat exchanger 8 an inlet temperature of a generator turbine 9 is pre-cooled and in the turbine 9 cooled further.
- Another part of the warm mixed stream 3 is in the Heat exchanger 8 further cooled, at least partially liquefied, as stream 10 expanded in a throttle 11 and as stream 12 of a rectification column 13 fed.
- a top gas 14 of the rectification column 13 forms together with the Via the turbine 9 relaxed partial flow 7, a cold gas 15 is the Heat exchanger 8 passes and forms as a heated gas stream 2 with the atmospheric air 1 the mixed flow 3.
- a liquid formed in the throttle 11 Phase is partly used in the rectification column 13 as reflux and one other part at the top of the rectification column as a liquid air product 16 taken.
- a bottom liquid obtained in the column is used to generate Heated steam rising in the rectification column 17.
- Part 18 of the Bottom liquid is evaporated in the heat exchanger 8, warmed as residual gas 19 at least partially used in cleaning 6 as a purge and regeneration gas and on guided the atmosphere.
