Definitions
- the invention relates to an apparatus for separating air by cryogenic distillation, in particular to an apparatus using a heat exchanger for cooling all the air intended for distillation.
- the apparatus is kept cold at least partially by two turbines, each coupled to a compressor.
- One of the compressors has an inlet temperature above 0 ° C and the other has an inlet temperature which is an intermediate temperature of the heat exchanger, less than 0 ° C or less than -50 ° C.
- the use of such a compressor known as the "cold compressor” because having a very cold inlet temperature, poses problems.
- the heated air in the cold compressor may be at a higher temperature than those supported by the heat exchanger.
- the present invention proposes to overcome this problem for a method using two turbines, by installing a common short-circuiting line connected to the inputs of the two turbines and to the outputs of the two turbines, the pipe being equipped with an expansion valve. In this way, it is possible to start the process more quickly by sending some of the air from the cold compressor to the column without passing through either the heat exchanger or the turbines.
- a cryogenic distillation air separation apparatus comprising a column system, a first turbine, a first compressor coupled to the first turbine, a second turbine, a second compressor coupled to the second turbine, a heat exchanger, means for sending cooled air into the heat exchanger to a temperature intermediate that of to the second compressor, means for sending expanded air from the first turbine to the column system, means for sending compressed air into the second compressor at an intermediate point of the heat exchanger and then at least in part to the column system through a valve, means for sending compressed air into the second compressor at the inlet of the first turbine through a valve without passing through the heat exchanger, means for sending a cooled air fraction into the heat exchanger to an intermediate temperature thereof to the second turbine, means for supplying expanded air from the second turbine to the column system, the means for sending compressed air into the second compressor at the inlet of the first turbine through a valve without passing through the heat exchanger being also connected to the inlet of the second turbine characterized in that it comprises means for sending air from the second compressor
- the starting method can therefore use pipes used in normal operation but by circulating the air in the opposite direction in normal operation. In particular, this makes it possible to reduce the length of the dedicated circuits for starting and therefore their cost.
- the apparatus comprising a column system comprising a column operating at a first pressure K1 and a column operating at a second pressure K2 less than the first pressure.
- the columns are thermally connected through a bottom reboiler of the second column heated with nitrogen head of the first column.
- Non-illustrated reflux flow rates enriched in nitrogen and oxygen are sent from column K1 to column K2.
- Liquid oxygen 31 is withdrawn from the bottom of the second column K2 and nitrogen gas 33 is withdrawn at the top of the second column. Liquid nitrogen is sent to the top of the second column by certain phases to help keep the process cold.
- the liquid oxygen 31 can vaporize in the heat exchanger E.
- the apparatus comprises a first air expansion turbine T2, a second air expansion turbine T1, a first air compressor C2 coupled to the first turbine and a second air compressor C1 coupled to the second turbine.
- Compressed air 1 at a pressure P from another compressor is divided into two fractions, a first fraction 3 is sent to the heat exchanger E without being compressed at a pressure beyond the pressure P.
- a second fraction 5 is sent to the first compressor C2 where it is compressed to a pressure greater than that (P) of the first fraction 3.
- the output of the first compressor C2 is connected to the inlet of this compressor by a pipe 25 through a valve V8.
- the first fraction 3 is cooled in the heat exchanger E to an intermediate temperature thereof and that has not been compressed in the first compressor is sent to the first and second turbines through the open valve CL3 and the open valves V5, V13, V4, V19.
- the second fraction 5 cools in the heat exchanger E to an intermediate temperature thereof after having been compressed in the first compressor C2. Then it is sent to the second compressor C1.
- the expanded air from the first and second turbines is sent to the first column K1 to be separated through the valves V6, V15, V11 and the line 13.
- the second fraction 5 is compressed in the second compressor C1, passes through the open valve CL1 and then cools in the heat exchanger before being sent in liquid form to the first column K1 through the valve V9. Valves V2 and V3 are closed.
- valve V9 is closed and valve V3 is open.
- the air from the compressor C1 no longer passes to the heat exchanger E but to the inlet of the second turbine T2 through the pipe 23 and the open valve V3. All the air can not pass into the turbine so the valve V4 is open, the flow passing through the turbine being limited by the opening of the blades of the turbine and the rest of the air from the compressor C2 passes to the column through lines 11 and 15.
- the temperature rise is extremely low at startup, given the minimal compression ratio on the C1 compressor thanks to the anti-pumping valve V3.
- the first fraction 3 is output from a heat exchanger at an intermediate temperature thereof and not having been compressed in the first compressor is sent to the second compressor C2.
- the second fraction 5 cools in the heat exchanger to an intermediate temperature thereof after being compressed in the first compressor C1. Then it is sent to the first and second turbines. In this case, it is the first fraction 3 of the air which is diversified, in case of starting, not to go through the heat exchanger E but directly to the inlet of the turbine T1 or T2, or even two.
- a differentiated step is possible for the two turbines T1, T2.
- it is possible to isolate the booster by closing the valve V1 and opening the valve V2, so that the air can pass through the pipe 5 through the pipe 27.
- valves V6 and V13 are closed to isolate the turbine T2 and the necessary frigories are added by addition of liquid nitrogen LIN at the head of the low pressure column K2.
