Abstract

UNA PRIMERA CORRIENTE DE AIRE REFRIGERADO Y PURIFICADO SE INTRODUCE EN EL INTERIOR DE UNA COLUMNA DE RECTIFICACION DE ALTA PRESION A TRAVES DE UNA ENTRADA (14) Y SE SEPARA EN VAPOR DE NITROGENO Y EN LIQUIDO DE OXIGENO ENRIQUECIDO. UNA CORRIENTE DEL LIQUIDO DE OXIGENO ENRIQUECIDO SE HACE PASAR RAPIDAMENTE A TRAVES DE UNA VALVULA REDUCTORA DE PRESION (40) AL INTERIOR DE UNA COLUMNA DE RECTIFICACION INTERMEDIA (22) EN LA CUAL SE SEPARA EL LIQUIDO ADICIONALMENTE ENRIQUECIDO Y VAPOR DE NITROGENO INTERMEDIO. UNA CORRIENTE DEL LIQUIDO ADICIONALMENTE ENRIQUECIDO SE PONE EN EBULLICION EN UN CONDENSADOR-CALDERA (46) Y SE INTRODUCE EN EL INTERIOR DE UN RECTIFICADOR DE MENOR PRESION (34) QUE COMPRENDE UNA ETAPA SUPERIOR (58) Y UNA ETAPA INFERIOR (60). EL RECTIFICADOR DE PRESION INFERIOR (34) TIENE UN CONDENSADOR-CALDERA INFERIOR (16) QUE ESTA CALENTADO POR UNA SEGUNDA CORRIENTE DE AIRE REFRIGERADO Y PURIFICADO. EL RECTIFICADOR DE MENOR PRESION TAMBIEN TIENE UN CONDENSADOR-CALDERA (22) QUE SE EMPLEA PARA FORMAR UN REFLUJO DE NITROGENO LIQUIDO PARA LA RECTIFICACION MEDIANTE CONDENSACION DEL VAPOR DE NITROGENO SEPARADO EN LA COLUMNA DE RECTIFICACION DE MAYOR PRESION. EN EJEMPLOS ALTERNATIVOS DEL PROCESO, EL LIQUIDO QUE SE HACE PASAR RAPIDAMENTE A TRAVES DE LA VALVULA (40) SE EXPONE A UNA SEPARACION DE FASE EN VEZ DE A UNA RECTIFICACION.
