Abstract

1,120,712. Cold separation of air. J. E. ARREGGER. 29 Sept., 1965 [1 July, 1964], No. 27207/64. Heading F4P. Cooling of a reflux condenser 23 at the head of an air rectification column 15 and cooling of a heat exchanger 17 having a pass 40 in which a gaseous side stream withdrawn from the column at 18 is liquefied and reintroduced to the column at 19 is effected by first and second closed auxiliary nitrogen circuits including compressors having a suction temperature below -100‹ C. and being after-cooled by an external refrigerant, e.g. liquid methane, constituting a heat sink. The first nitrogen circuit comprises a compressor 20 which discharges through a pass 25 immersed in the liquid methane bath, a heat exchanger 21 traversed by suction nitrogen, a heat exchanger 22 in which the nitrogen is liquefied in boiling liquid oxygen at the base of the column, an expansion valve 50 and a heat exchanger 24 wherein the auxiliary nitrogen vaporized in condenser 23 is cooled before being returned through heat exchanger 21 to the inlet of compressor 20. The second nitrogen circuit comprises a three-stage compressor 27, 28, 29 with interstage and after-coolers 30, 31, 32. A portion of high pressure nitrogen is withdrawn from heat exchanger 17 through a line 33 and after expansion at a valve 51 is returned to the inlet of the second stage compressor 28 whilst the remainder of the high pressure nitrogen is expanded at a valve 52 and returned through exchanger 17 to the first stage compressor 27. The liquid methane is pressurized by a pump 26 and the high pressure vapour leaving the heat sink is discharged through a consumer line.
