Embodiment Construction

[0043] The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring now to Figures 1 and 2, the feed air provided to the cryogenic air separation plant, represented by feed air stream 50, is passed into a base load air compressor 51 wherein the air stream is compressed to a base load pressure (absolute pressure Typically in the range of 80-110 pounds per square inch (psia)). The base load pressure provides sufficient energy to the cryogenic air separation plant to separate the feed air into one or more of the product oxygen, product nitrogen and product argon, and obtain a nominal pressure gaseous product and a nominal amount of liquid product (usually about 2% of the feed air). Then the feed air 96 of the base load pressure is passed through the pre-purifier 52 to remove various high-boiling impurities (such as water vapor, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons), and then the feed air 53 of the clean base load pressure is provided to the...

Abstract

A cryogenic air separation system wherein pressure energy is supplied by a bridge machine having one or more booster compressors and a multicomponent refrigerant fluid compressor of a multicomponent refrigerant fluid circuit, all of the compressors of the bridge machine driven by power supplied through a single gear case.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to cryogenic air separation and, more particularly, to the compression of fluids in the operation of cryogenic air separation systems. Background technique [0002] A series of compressors are used in the operation of conventional cryogenic air separation systems. Some of these may be used to compress product, some to compress feed air, and others to run various internal circuits such as steam pumps or liquefier circuits. Since compressors are relatively expensive to install, maintain and operate, any improvement in the use of compression plants in conjunction with cryogenic air separation plants would be desirable. [0003] Accordingly, one of the objects of the present invention is to provide a cryogenic air separation system with an improved compression arrangement. Contents of the invention [0004] The above and other objects which will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading this disclo...
