Air compressor pressure required for air separation

The air separation equipment has certain requirements for the pressure of the air compressor to ensure the smooth progress of the air separation process. The following is a detailed summary of the air compressor pressure required for air separation:

normal pressure range:

the output pressure of the air compressor usually varies according to the usage scenario and demand. For general industrial purposes, such as car repair, wood processing, etc., the common air compressor output pressure range is 6-8bar(0.6-0.8MPa). The air flow in this range is large and can meet a variety of work needs.

Particular requirements for air separation units:

for air separation plants, the suction pressure of the air compressor has a specific normal range, usually between -0.05MPa and -0.09MPa. This range is to ensure the normal operation and efficiency of the air separation plant.

If the suction pressure is less than -0.09MPa, it may cause the equipment to overheat and increase the consumption of lubricating oil, which will adversely affect the life of the equipment.

Higher suction pressure (greater than -0.05MPa) may cause system inefficiency and excessive vacuum, and may even cause system downtime.

Pressure adjustment and equipment maintenance:

in order to maintain the best performance of the air compressor in the air separation plant, it is necessary to regularly check and adjust the pressure setting of the air compressor to ensure that it meets the pressure requirements of the air separation plant.

At the same time, regular maintenance and cleaning of the air compressor is also an important step to maintain its performance and extend its service life.

In summary, the air separation equipment has clear requirements on the pressure of the air compressor to ensure the efficiency of the air separation process and the stable operation of the equipment. In actual operation, the appropriate air compressor should be selected according to the specific needs and specifications of the air separation plant, and pressure inspections and equipment maintenance should be carried out regularly.
