Abstract

Es wird ein Verfahren zur destillativen Tieftemperaturzerlegung von Einsatzluft in einem Destillationssäulensystem (10) einer Luftzerlegungsanlage bei unterschiedlichen Destillationsdrücken vorgeschlagen, wobei die gesamte Einsatzluft in einer Gesamtluftmenge auf ein erstes Druckniveau verdichtet wird, das mindestens 4 bis 5 bar oberhalb des höchsten der Destillationsdrücke liegt, und von der Gesamtluftmenge eine erste Teilluftmenge zunächst auf ein erstes Temperaturniveau von 130 bis 170 abgekühlt und danach auf ein zweites Druckniveau verdichtet wird, das mindestens 10 bar oberhalb des ersten Druckniveaus liegt, und eine zweite Teilluftmenge zunächst auf ein zweites Temperaturniveau von 110 bis 150 K abgekühlt und danach auf ein drittes Druckniveau entspannt wird, das unterhalb des ersten Druckniveaus liegt. Es ist vorgesehen, dass eine Verdichtungs-/Entspannungsanordnung (30, 40) mit einem Getriebe verwendet wird, in dem ein Antriebsrad (38) mit einem Getrieberad (39) und das Getrieberad (39) mit einem Abtriebsrad (37) in Eingriff steht, wobei mit dem Antriebsrad (38) die Laufschaufeln zweier oder mehrerer Turboexpander (33, 34) und mit dem Abtriebsrad (37) die Laufschaufeln zweier oder mehrerer Turboverdichter (31, 32) gekoppelt sind, und die erste Teilluftmenge zur Verdichtung auf das zweite Druckniveau nacheinander durch die Turboverdichter (31, 32) und die zweite Teilluftmenge zur Entspannung auf das dritte Druckniveau parallel durch die Turboexpander (33, 34) geführt wird. Eine entsprechende Luftzerlegungsanlage (100, 200) ist ebenfalls Gegenstand der Erfindung.

A method is proposed for the distillative cryogenic separation of feed air in a distillation column system (10) of an air separation plant at different distillation pressures, wherein the total feed air is compressed in a total amount of air to a first pressure level which is at least 4 to 5 bar above the highest of the distillation pressures, and From the total amount of air, a first partial air quantity is first cooled to a first temperature level of 130 to 170 and then compressed to a second pressure level which is at least 10 bar above the first pressure level, and a second partial air amount is first cooled to a second temperature level of 110 to 150 K. and then released to a third pressure level that is below the first pressure level. It is contemplated that a compression / expansion assembly (30, 40) is used with a transmission in which a drive wheel (38) is engaged with a gear (39) and the gear (39) is engaged with a driven gear (37). wherein with the drive wheel (38) the blades of two or more turboexpanders (33, 34) and the output gear (37) the blades of two or more turbo compressors (31, 32) are coupled, and the first partial air quantity for compression to the second pressure level successively through the turbo-compressor (31, 32) and the second partial air quantity for relaxation to the third pressure level in parallel through the turboexpander (33, 34) is guided. A corresponding air separation plant (100, 200) is also the subject of the invention.
