AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, the heating process of waste nitrogen gas is energy-intensive, the terminals of the electric furnace are easily damaged, and the heat of compressed air is not effectively utilized.
A heat exchanger is used to exchange heat between high-temperature air and low-temperature waste nitrogen, thereby increasing the temperature of the waste nitrogen, reducing the power consumption of the electric furnace, and maintaining a slightly positive pressure state through the junction box to prevent humid air from contacting the terminals and extending their service life.
This reduces the power consumption of the electric furnace, extends the service life of the terminals, and improves the energy efficiency and equipment stability of nitrogen production.
