The invention relates to a method for preparing liquid by low-temperature rectification. The method comprises the steps that 1,
raw material air passes through an
air compressor, an air pre-cooling
system and an
air purification system; 2, the purified air enters the
heat exchanger continuously, and air in the
heat exchanger is divided into two strands, the first strand of air passes through the
heat exchanger to be condensed into liquid to enter a rectifying lower
tower, the second strand of air is pumped out and then enters a low-temperature expansion
machine for expansion, part of the air enters the rectifying lower
tower, and the other part of the air is returned to the
air compressor inlet or the air pre-cooling
system after being subjected to repeated
thermal expansion by the heat exchanger; 3, liquefied air after throttling which flows into the lower
tower and the expanded part of air into the rectifying lower tower for rectification, so as to obtain a
liquid nitrogen product;and rectifying is carried out again through a rectifying upper tower to obtain the
liquid oxygen product. According to the method, the exhaust pressure of the circulating
air compressor is effectivelyreduced, the unit refrigerating capacity of the expansion
machine is improved, and the purposes of enabling the equipment to be easy to operate and reducing the primary investment of the equipment are achieved.
