Abstract

Air is compressed to 5.25 kg/cm2, and cooled in regenerator type exchanger using product oxygen and exhaust nitrogen and liquefied in coil immersed in liquid O2 from column base, this serving also as reboiler. Liquefied stream is fed into column (tray or other), reflux being provided by refrigeration plant. N2 comes off top and O2 out the bottom. Provides a compact plant which can be used by a hospital or industrial concern in an isolated situated where road supplies can be cut off.
