[0002] The most commonly used method for air separation is deep freezing, which can produce oxygen, nitrogen and rare gases. The purity of the resulting gas products can reach 98.0% to 99.9%. In addition, molecular sieve adsorption is also used to separate air, which is used to produce oxygen-enriched air containing 70% to 80% oxygen. In recent years, some countries have also developed solid membrane air separation technology. Oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium and other rare gases have a wide range of uses, so air separation devices are widely used in metallurgy, chemical industry, petroleum, machinery, mining, food, military and other industrial sectors.
[0003] Traditional air separation devices often require frequent manual replacement of adsorption devices when dealing with liquids adsorbed in filtered air. This not only increases the complexity and cost of manual operations, but also leads to interruptions in the production process, affecting overall work efficiency. Workers need to spend a lot of time and energy to carry out this tedious task, which seriously restricts the continuity of production. Moreover, in the air treatment process, the existing technology does not pay enough attention to the pre-cooling of air. There are no effective pre-cooling measures, resulting in a lot of time and energy required to cool and compress the air in the subsequent cooling and compression links. This undoubtedly increases energy consumption, and also prolongs the time cycle of the entire air separation, which cannot meet the needs of efficient production.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a low-temperature air separation device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

Heat is exchanged with the air inside the precooling tube 13 through the fins 14 to reduce its temperature, thereby achieving a precooling effect and precooling the air.
[0022] The right side of the pre-cooling chamber 12 is fixedly connected with a pipe 2 17, and the other end of the pipe 2 17 is fixedly connected with a cold storage box 18. When the cold pressure tank 20 is working, a certain amount of cold air can be stored in the cold storage box 18 in advance, so that cold air can be quickly introduced for cold compression after the cold pressure tank 20 completes its work.
