The utility model discloses a novel
nitrogen making device which comprises an
air compressor, a pre-cooling unit, a purification
system and a fractionating
tower which are communicated in sequence,
raw material air is compressed by the
air compressor, cooled by the precooling unit and then enters the purification
system; entering a fractionating
tower; in a main
heat exchanger of the fractionating
tower, air exchanges heat with the refluxed
oxygen-enriched gas and
nitrogen, the temperature is reduced to be close to an air
liquefaction point, the air enters a rectifying tower for rectification, and high-purity
nitrogen is obtained at the top of the rectifying tower; one part of the high-purity nitrogen serves as product nitrogen, is reheated by the main
heat exchanger, is discharged from the fractionating tower and is sent to a user; one part of the obtained
liquid nitrogen is output as a product, and the other part of the obtained
liquid nitrogen enters the rectifying tower again to serve as
reflux liquid; one part of
liquid air is throttled, enters the subcooler, is vaporized and then is converged with the expanded
oxygen-enriched gas; the rectified
liquid nitrogen enters a main
heat exchanger through a liquid nitrogen pump to be reheated and serves as another
stream of product nitrogen; the device can be used for producing nitrogen with two different pressures.
