[0002] The air separation unit is powered by steam and mainly produces oxygen and nitrogen, with by-products such as liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and liquid argon, supplying oxygen and nitrogen to the main production system. At present, the lubricating oil temperature of the air separation unit is manually adjusted and controlled by the on-site operator through the oil cooler circulating water valve.

[0004] 2. The manual adjustment accuracy is low and the oil temperature fluctuates greatly, resulting in low lubrication efficiency of the unit, which is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of the unit.

[0005] 3. Once a manual valve failure occurs, the oil temperature cannot be adjusted, affecting the operation of the unit. In severe cases, it may cause the unit to interlock and trip, and the production system to stop. Utility Model Content
