APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING OXYGEN FROM LIQUID AIR Filed June 20. 1932 INVENTOR Patented Oct. 9, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING OXYGEN FROM LIQUID AIR Francis J..Eichelman, Pittsburgh, Pa., assignor to Garbo-OxygenCompany, Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Delaware Application June 20, 1932, Serial No. 618,226
s (o1. (ac-422) In the practice of this art as now in general.
these gases are caused to travel to the bottom of the heat-exchanger, the oxygen gas reaching the heat-exch2nger at a pressure slightly above atmospheric pressure. The oxygen passes from the upper end of the heat-exchanger at a pressure sumcient to lift the water-sealed gas-holder.
As much greater pressures are required for the.
storage or in the use of oxygen gas, such for instance as in a cylinder where apressure of aplw proximately two thousand pounds at 70 Fahr. is
desirable, compressors are employed in the pres cut to produce the desired pressures.
However certain difficulties are encountered in this practice. Thus such compressors are expensive and their operation requires the expenditures of considerable. power. Again the problem of lubrication of the moving parts is a serious one.
The use of hydrocarbon lubricants is impossible because of the action of oxygen on hydrocarbon low pressure side of the rectification column and.
supplying it by forced feed to the bottom or intake end of the heat-exchanger, thus maintaining a controlled and regulable supply oi the oxygen to the heat-exchanger tubes.
As a result the supply of liquid oxygen to the oxygen tubes of the heat-exchanger is maintamed regardless of the pressure in said tubes, 1
which pressure will vary with the pressure at the point of delivery of the oxygen gas, such for instance as a cylinder or other high pressure receiver.
On the contrary under the present practice the In my present invention I avoid the above men-' pressure in the oxygen tubes of the heat-exchanger must remain below those in the low pres sure side of the rectification column, for otherwise the operation of the column would be inter-' fered with and eventually halted.
I thus avoid the necessity of employing compressors to compress the oxygen to the desired pressure for storage or use, after it has left the heatexchanger.
For the convenient accomplishment of my improved process I have invented the hereinafter described apparatus which is especially designed and adapted for that purpose.
In the accompanying drawing, wherein I have illustrated a practical embodiment of the principles of my invention, I have illustrated in broken vertical section such apparatus comprising a heat-exchanger, a rectification column, and a f liquid oxygen pump operatively interposed, be tween the some, all of said elements being enclosed in an insulated outer enclosure.
I Referring to the drawing, 1 represents the heat- I exchanger, 2 the rectification column, 3 the moisture-tig'ht casing or tank of the liquid oxygen pump, and 4 the outer enclosure. The purified, dried, compressed and preliminarily cooled air. travels by means of the pipe 5 to the upper end, I of the bank of helical tubes 6 which extend downwardly within the tubular casing of the heatexchanger 1. The lower ends of the tubes 6 connect to the pipe 7 which is covered with suitable, heat-insulation and whose other end is connected. to the boiling coil 8 which is immersed in the bath of liquid air in the bottom of the high pressure side. of the rectification column 2. The other end of the boiling coil 8 is connected to the expansion valve 9, in the high pressure side of the column 2. 1
The nitrogen gas is led from the top of the low pressure side of the column 2 through a pipe 10 which connects at 11 with the bottom of the cas ing of the heat-exchanger 1. A pipe 12 leads from the top of said casing to carry off the nitrogen gas.
The specific internal const'ructionof the rectincation column is not the subject matter of the present invention, and the structure above described is well known in the present practice of the art.
The liquid oxygen collectsin the bottom 13 of the low pressure side of the column 2 surrounding the condenser tubes 14. From said bottom a descending pipe 15 leads to the upper portion of the pump casing 3, said pipe being provided with a valve 16. Thus the liquid oxygen flows into said casing. To relieve the casing 3 from such oxygen gas which may collect in the upper part of said casing an escape pipe 17 leads upwardly from the top of said casing to the low pressure side of the column 2 above the bottom 13, said pipe being provided with a valve 18. Thus any gas which may collect in the top of the casing 3 may be relieved, enabling the casing to be kept at all times substantially full of liquid oxygen.
19 is the pump barrel mounted within the casing 3 and immersed in liquid oxygen. Said barrel is provided with a depending tubular neck 20 which extends through the bottom of the casing with an air-tight joint. The pump is supported by the frame 21. 22 is a piston rod working in said neck and driven as by the crank shaft 23 connected to its lower end. The upper end of the piston rod is provided with a piston 24.
The pump barrel is provided with an inwardly opening inlet valve 25 communicating with the interior of the casing 3 and an outwardly opening discharge valve 26 which is connected by a pipe 27, having a valve 28, to a pipe 29 which connects at the bottom of the heat-exchanger 1 with the bank of helical tubes 30 which extend upwardly through the heat-exchanger and are connected at the top of the latter with an insulated pipe 31 which in turn is connected by a pipe 32 with the header 33 from which lead the branch pipes 34 which are detachably coupled to the cylinders indicated at 35. Each of the branch pipes 34 is provided with a valve 36.
When the device has been put into operation the supply of substantially pure liquid oxygen in the bottom 13 of the low pressure side of the column 2 is substantially constant, and thus with the valve 16 open the casing 3 is kept full of liquid oxygen, any gas which may collect being relieved through the pipe 17.
The operation of the pump maintains a constant supply of liquid oxygen to the lower ends of the helical oxygen tubes 30, and the action of the heat-exchanger, comprising the exchange of heat from the compressed air tubes to the oxygen tubes 30, completely gasifies the oxygen during its ascent of said tubes 30, thus supplying oxygen gas through the pipes 31 and 32 and header 33 to the branch pipes 34 which supply the gas to the cylinder 35.
I encounter no difiiculty in the operation of the liquid oxygen pump as its valves and the piston are sufiiciently lubricated by the liquid oxygen.
To enable me to vary the speed of the pump, for the purpose of regulating the supply of liquid oxygen to the heat-exchanger, I may drive the crank haft 23 by means of a variable speed motor 37 through a speed reducer 38.
By varying the speed of the pump or other forced feed device I am able to maintain the operation of the rectification column at maximum efficiency as I am thus enabled to withdraw the liquid oxygen from the column at the proper rate to "balance its separation. If the liquid oxygen be withdrawn from the column in too small quantities, the oxygen not withdrawn tends to pass off with the nitrogen, while a withdrawal of the liquid oxygen at an excess rate will tend to decrease the purity of the oxygen withdrawn.
