が挙げられる。In this case, the raw air taken in from the atmosphere is compressed to about 5 kg/CIIG by the raw air compressor 1, and the aftercooler 2
After being cooled to about 40°C in the air cooler 3, it is further cooled down to about 5°C, water is removed in the water droplet separator 4, water and carbon dioxide are adsorbed and removed in the dehumidification tower 5, and the temperature is about 8°C. Get dry air. This dried raw material air is sent to the air heat exchanger 7 and cooled, and is divided into air at approximately -100°C and air at approximately -170°C.
Divert. Air at about -100℃ is heated to about 3 by the turbine heat exchanger 9.
The temperature is raised to 6°C, and the pressure is increased to approximately 7 Kp/a/I G by a compressor 10 coupled to an expansion turbine 11, and then cooled to approximately 40°C by an aftercooler 12, and then reduced to approximately - by an air heat exchanger 9.
It is cooled to 96° C., expanded by an expansion turbine 11, and sent to a rectification column 8. Oxygen and nitrogen separated in the rectification column 8 are heated to approximately 4°C in an air heat exchanger 7, and then passed through each conduit 1.

A part of the waste gas discharged from the rectification column 8 is heated to about 200° C. by the regeneration heater 6 and used for heating and regeneration in the dehumidification column 5.

が低くなって膨張タービンの膨張比が小さくなり、寒冷
発生1ががさくなるという欠点があった。In the above conventional technology, the temperature of the raw air leaving the dehumidification tower is approximately 8°C.
Therefore, the feed air that enters the air heat exchanger is as low as about 8 degrees Celsius, whereas in the aftercooler of the compressor, the feed air is cooled by heat exchange with the cooling water, so the aftercooler outlet temperature is about 40 degrees Celsius. It became so high that it was impossible to put it into an air heat exchanger. Therefore, it was necessary to provide a turbine heat exchanger in addition to the air heat exchanger to cool the feed air from about 40°C to about -96°C. Since raw air enters the compressor through an air heat exchanger and a turbine heat exchanger, a pressure loss occurs due to the flow path resistance of these heat exchangers, resulting in a disadvantage that the inlet pressure of the compressor becomes low. As the inlet pressure of the compressor is lowered, the outlet pressure is lowered, and the inlet pressure of the expansion turbine is lowered, resulting in a lower expansion ratio of the expansion turbine and a disadvantage in that the cold generation 1 is increased.
本究明の目的は、熱交の流路抵抗による圧力損失を小さ
くし、膨張タービンの膨張比を大きくし、寒冷光生量を
大きくできる空気分離装置を提供することにある。The purpose of this research is to provide an air separation device that can reduce pressure loss due to heat exchange flow path resistance, increase the expansion ratio of an expansion turbine, and increase the amount of cold light produced.
