Abstract

1,014,612. Cold separation of gas mixtures. AIR PRODUCTS Ltd. Aug. 7, 1964 [May 7, 1963], No. 17948/63. Heading F4P. Cooling of a compressed gas mixture, e.g. air prior to rectification, is effected in first and second zones 11a, 11b of a heat exchanger 11 cooled by reverse-flowing separated oxygen and nitrogen and the feed air is cooled in a refrigerator 14 between zones 11a, 11b and a portion of the feed air is withdrawn prior to zone 11b and cooled at constant pressure at 26 to a temperature equal to that of the feed air leaving the record zone 11b and with which it is recombined; the cooling at 26 of said withdrawn portion serving to compensate for the cold lost by the separated products during passage through the exchanger 11. Cooling of said withdrawn portion of feed air in coil 26 is effected by a closed nitrogen circuit comprising a compressor 30 an aftercooler 32, an expansion engine 34 and a turbine 35 followed by the shell side of an exchanger 27 in which are embedded coils 26, 32. The so cooled portion of feed gas is joined by feed gas leaving zone 11b and is freed of carbon dioxide in absorbers 18. In a modification the carbon dioxide is removed prior to passage through zone 11a.
