Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for evaporating liquid oxygen as well its application in a process for the production of oxygen by Cryogenic air separation.
  • oxygen is understood to mean any mixture which has an increased oxygen content compared to air, for example at least 70%, preferably at least 98%.
  • liquid oxygen to be present gasify its use by being in a Main evaporator through indirect heat exchange with a heat transfer medium is evaporated.
  • Such evaporation occurs particularly when gaseous is extracted Oxygen through low temperature rectification, in which the oxygen product is liquid at the bottom of a rectification column, since it is less volatile than nitrogen and Is argon.
  • the liquid oxygen must also be in be evaporated from a main evaporator.
  • This is the most common Classic Linde double column process, in which the main evaporator in the sump a low pressure column is arranged and with condensing nitrogen from the head the pressure column is operated (see Hausen / Linde, low-temperature technology, 2nd edition, section 4.1.2 on page 284).
  • the main evaporator is in this case operated as a condenser-evaporator and often referred to as the main condenser. It is implemented by one or more heat exchanger blocks, which are or falling film evaporators are operated.
  • the invention also relates to other double-column processes in which the Main evaporator is operated with air, for example, and also processes with three or more columns for nitrogen-oxygen separation.
  • the rectification column or columns for nitrogen-oxygen separation can devices for the production of others Air components, in particular of noble gases, for example for argon production.
  • liquid oxygen is completely or essentially completely evaporated, less volatile impurities such as CO 2 or N 2 O can accumulate in the evaporator, even if they contain only very low concentrations in the oxygen to be evaporated (or in the air to be separated) are. (However, the previously feared acetylene is no longer a problem in air separation plants with adsorptive pre-cleaning.)
  • Some of these less volatile substances for example CO 2 and N 2 O, can precipitate out as solids and must be removed from time to time in order to block the heat exchanger passages in the Main evaporator is avoided. The entire system must be switched off to remove these separated solids. In a large air separation plant, this can mean a shutdown of, for example, two to five days.
  • the flush volume is one Air separation plant with adsorptive pre-cleaning usually 0.02 to 0.04% of total amount of liquid oxygen introduced into the evaporator.
  • the invention has for its object to the availability of a main evaporator Increase vaporization of liquid oxygen and in particular To prevent business interruptions as far as possible.
  • the (first) Purge stream which is withdrawn from the main evaporator, passed into an additional evaporator, which is arranged separately from the main evaporator.
  • This additional evaporator is a large part of the first flushing stream evaporates and can thus be used as an oxygen product or intermediate product can be obtained.
  • the additional evaporator is in turn a second Rinsing stream removed and discarded.
  • the removal of the second purge stream can be continuous or discontinuous respectively.
  • a relatively large amount of liquid can flow from the first rinse stream Main evaporator are removed, so that all less volatile components are discharged and their concentration on the main evaporator is kept low. In particular, there are no solids deposits in the main evaporator. This size However, the amount of flushing liquid is not completely lost because part of the first flushing stream evaporated in an additional evaporator and drawn off in gas form. From the additional evaporator subtracted only a usual flushing quantity as a second flushing stream, for example 0.02 to 0.5%, preferably 0.02 to 0.2% of the amount introduced into the main evaporator liquid oxygen. (In the case of discontinuous withdrawal of the second flushing stream the numbers refer to the time average.) The rest of the first Flushing stream is evaporated in the additional evaporator and can be a gaseous oxygen product be used.
  • Solids can only be separated in the additional evaporator, but not in the Main evaporator.
  • the additional evaporator can be much easier as the main evaporator by heating solids. This will normal operation is occasionally interrupted by a heating operation, whereby in Heating operation of the auxiliary evaporator is separated from the main evaporator by no liquid is led from the main evaporator into the additional evaporator.
  • the additional evaporator is brought to a temperature that is clear is higher than its temperature in normal operation, for example by at least 20 K, preferably 20 to 50 K.
  • the amount of the first flushing stream, which is in normal operation from Main evaporator is withdrawn, at least 1%, preferably at least 3% and / or at most 10%, preferably at most 5% of those in the main evaporator amount of liquid oxygen introduced.
  • the invention also relates to the application of the method according to claim 1 or 2 in a process for cryogenic air separation according to Claim 3 and in a corresponding device according to claim 6, in particular air separation processes and plants with air pre-cleaning Adsorption, for example on a molecular sieve.
  • air separation processes and plants with air pre-cleaning Adsorption for example on a molecular sieve.
  • Such procedures and facilities are used for the production of oxygen, nitrogen and / or others in gases contained in atmospheric air.
  • the invention relates to a device for evaporating liquid Oxygen according to claims 4 and 5.
  • Figure 1 shows a section of a double column for low-temperature decomposition of Air, namely the upper part of the pressure column 1 and the lower portion of the Low pressure column 2.
  • a main evaporator 3 is used to evaporate liquid Oxygen coming from the lowest mass transfer section of the low pressure column 2 flows. (The bottom mass transfer section is in the drawing as bottom 4 shown, but it could also be an orderly pack.)
  • About Line 9 is withdrawn gaseous oxygen product from the low pressure column.
  • the main evaporator can - as shown in Figure 1 - inside the double column, be arranged in particular in the sump of the low pressure column. Alternatively, it can be used as separate component realized outside the double column or in another, from the Double column separate component can be integrated, for example in a methane discharge column, as shown in DE 4332870 A1 or DE 2055099 A.
  • about a line 5 arranged in the lower region of the main evaporator 3 becomes a the first rinsing stream is continuously withdrawn and into an additional evaporator 6 initiated. From the lower area of the additional evaporator 6 there is a second flushing stream 7 withdrawn continuously or discontinuously while vaporized oxygen 8 is returned to the low pressure column.
  • the steam 8 into the Oxygen product line 9 are passed from the low pressure column or into one other apparatus, for example in the lower area of a methane discharge column according to DE 4332870 A1 or DE 2055099 A.
  • Nitrogen is used as the heat transfer medium 10 for indirectly heating the main evaporator inserted from the head of the pressure column 1.
  • the condensed in the main evaporator Nitrogen 11 is used as the return in the two columns.
  • the Additional evaporator 6 is either also in normal operation with nitrogen from the Pressure column or heated with air as a heat transfer medium 12.
  • the condensed heat transfer medium is withdrawn via line 13 and into one or more of the rectification columns fed.
  • Switching from normal operation to heating operation takes about six months, by closing the valve 14 in the first flushing line 5. Also the supply of the Heat transfer medium 12 is closed. Instead, about 300 K warm air is over Line 15 led into the liquefaction space of the additional evaporator 6 and over Line 16 removed.
  • a warm-up phase includes switching off, emptying, Warming up, cooling down and commissioning and takes for example 10 to 24 hours, preferably about 20 hours.
  • the embodiment of Figure 2 differs from Figure 1 in that the Main evaporator is formed by a plurality of blocks 3a, 3b.
  • the blocks 3a, 3b are arranged, for example, concentrically around a central tube, which for Feed 10 of gaseous nitrogen from the pressure column 1 is used.
  • a device for removal less volatile components (19 in Figure 1) are equipped.
