Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air separation equipment, and in particular to an air separation molecular sieve operation monitoring device. Background Art

[0002] The molecular sieve system is a key system in the air separation unit, and its main purpose is to remove moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. If the system is operating abnormally and moisture and carbon dioxide enter the cold box, the plate heat exchanger hot end heat exchange temperature difference will be large and the liquid output will be low. In severe cases, the plate heat exchanger will be severely iced up, the main cooling liquid level will continue to drop, and the air separation unit will be unable to maintain operation. After the plate heat exchanger is iced up, it will be difficult to heat and purge, and the local uneven heat and cold will have a great impact on the safety performance of the plate heat exchanger.

[0003] The key parameter for judging whether the molecular sieve is operating normally is the cold blow peak value during the regeneration stage. Its value generally varies between -7°C and 150°C. If it is less than 100°C, it can be considered that the regeneration is not complete, which will affect the adsorption performance of the next cycle.

[0004] The traditional practice is for operators to regularly check temperature trends in the DCS system and report any abnormalities found. However, due to deficiencies in operators' technical capabilities, subjective judgment, and sense of responsibility, faults are often not discovered in the early stages, and later faults continue to expand and cannot be handled, resulting in load reduction or even shutdown.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the air separation molecular sieve operation monitoring device described in this embodiment includes a control component 1, a temperature monitoring component 2 and an alarm component 3. The control component 1 is provided with a control box 11, a control board 12 and a control switch 13. The control board 12 is installed in the control box 11.

The alarm component 3 is installed in the control box 11 and is electrically connected to the control board 12.

[0027] The present embodiment has a simple structure and a reasonable design. A temperature detection structure is provided to detect the outlet temperature of the molecular sieve regeneration gas, and the temperature data is transmitted to the control board 12, so as to monitor the operating status of the molecular sieve, so that the fault status can be discovered as early as possible, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the operator. At the same time, when a fault occurs, an alarm reminder can be realized through the alarm component 3, so as to deal with the fault as soon as possible and avoid the expansion of the accident.

[0028] In some embodiments, the temperature detection structure is provided with a fixed seat 21, a protective shell 22, a telescopic tube 23 and a temperature sensor 24, the fixed seat 21 is used to be installed on the molecular sieve to be monitored, the protective shell 22 is installed on the fixed seat 21, the telescopic tube 23 is telescopically arranged in the protective shell 22, and one end of the telescopic tube 23 is located outside the protective shell 22, and the temperature sensor 24 is arranged at one end of the telescopic tube 23 located in the protective shell 22.

[0029] The setting of the temperature detection structure is specifically shown in this embodiment. When used specifically, the overall temperature detection structure can be installed at the position of the molecular sieve regeneration gas outlet pipeline to be tested through the fixing seat 21 to perform a temperature test. The detection temperature here is the cold blow peak monitoring temperature, so that the operating status of the molecular sieve can be intelligently monitored based on the temperature data at this position, thereby improving the accuracy of monitoring and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0030] In some embodiments, the telescopic tube 23 is located at one end outside the protective shell 22 and is provided with a limit lever 25 .

[0031] In this embodiment, after moving to a suitable test position, the position of the telescopic tube 23 can be fixed based on the limit lever 25 to ensure the accuracy of the test temperature.

[0033] In this embodiment, a graphite sealing ring 26 is provided to facilitate sealing to prevent a large amount of gas from escaping from the detection position. At the same time, a sealing ring and other structures are also provided at the installation position of the mounting seat to cooperate with the graphite sealing ring 26 at this position to achieve better sealing.

[0034] In some embodiments, the control panel 12 has a timing module, a storage module, a comparison module, an alarm output module and a communication module.

[0035] In this embodiment, by setting a timing module, timing can be performed starting from cold blowing to select the test density of the temperature, such as recording once every 1 second, and saving the data to the storage module. The comparison module mainly compares the data of the storage module with the theoretical value to help the control board 12 determine whether it is abnormal. If abnormal, the alarm signal is output through the alarm output module to alarm.

[0036] Specifically, the alarm component 3 is provided with an audible and visual alarm structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, by providing an audible and visual alarm structure, the warning effect is good and it is convenient for operators to receive the alarm signal.
