Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air separation towers, in particular to a liquid oxygen evaporator capable of automatically adjusting the liquid oxygen level. Background Art

[0002] Liquid oxygen air separation equipment is primarily based on air separation technology. It converts air into liquid form through a compression cycle followed by deep freezing. Distillation then gradually separates the liquid air into inert gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, and argon. This process involves multiple systems and components, including compression, pre-cooling, purification, heat exchange, product delivery, expansion refrigeration, distillation towers, and liquid pumps. The liquid oxygen evaporator vaporizes the safely discharged liquid oxygen extracted from the condenser evaporator and incorporates it into the pipeline oxygen supply.

[0003] The existing referenceable Chinese utility model patent has announcement number CN214665576U, which discloses a liquid oxygen jet evaporator for an air separation device, comprising a cylinder, on which a plurality of thermometers, branch pipes, and ejectors are respectively provided, wherein the branch pipes and ejectors are arranged above the cylinder, and the thermometers are respectively arranged above and below the cylinder, and the ejector is composed of a bend pipe running through the cylinder, a first flange assembly, and a nozzle, wherein the bend pipe is provided with a connecting sleeve at the inlet end on one side outside the upper part of the cylinder, and the connecting sleeve is connected and fixed to the second flange assembly by screws, and a nozzle connector is provided at the outlet end on one side inside the cylinder, and the nozzle connector is rotatably fixed to the nozzle by a thread, and a gasket is provided between the nozzle connector and the nozzle. The utility model has the characteristics of simple structure, low cost, easy maintenance, safety and reliability.

[0004] Existing liquid oxygen jet evaporators generally use a nozzle to atomize liquid oxygen to mix it with room-temperature oxygen, increasing the contact area between the liquid oxygen and the room-temperature oxygen, causing the liquid oxygen to absorb heat and vaporize. Due to the influence of the liquid oxygen's own gravity, after the liquid oxygen is atomized, the liquid oxygen droplets will fall into the oxygen pipeline under the action of gravity and converge to cause liquid oxygen accumulation. At the same time, the atomization structure of the existing liquid oxygen jet evaporator can cause the liquid oxygen to be sprayed in one direction, and the liquid oxygen cannot be fully mixed with the room-temperature oxygen inside the pipeline, affecting the evaporation efficiency.
