Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of low-temperature cold box sealing, in particular to a low-temperature cold box sealing gas system. Background Art
[0002] Most of the media in the heat exchange and distillation systems work in a low temperature environment (-120℃~-196℃). In order to ensure the normal operation of the distillation process, it is necessary to ensure that the media works under relatively ideal insulation conditions. Therefore, a metal cold box that is relatively closed to the outside world is required. The space inside the cold box is filled with pearlescent sand with a very low heat transfer coefficient to isolate it from the atmosphere. As production continues, the lowest temperature in the cold box gradually drops to -196℃, and the pressure in the cold box gradually decreases. In order to prevent the entry of humid air caused by the low pressure of the cold box, the dirty nitrogen gas (about 10Kpa) from the air separation system is introduced into the cold box as a sealing gas to ensure that the entire cold box is in a positive pressure state.
[0003] During on-site use, due to the large air separation capacity on site, the large amount of pearl sand filled in the cold box and its heavy weight, the use requirements of the upper part of the cold box could not be met after passing through the originally designed contaminated nitrogen gas (about 10Kpa). There was ice on the top of the cold box, which posed a safety hazard to the operation of the equipment. At the same time, the ice increased the heat transfer between the equipment and the air, increasing the energy consumption of the equipment. Utility Model Content
