Verfahren zum Gewinnen von AtmungssauerstoffMethod for obtaining respiratory oxygen

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Gewinnen von an Kohlenwasserstoffen armem, flüssigen Atmungssauerstoff in Luftzerlegungsanlagen, in welchen gleichzeitig flüssiger und gasförmiger Sauerstoff erzeugt wird.The invention relates to a method for obtaining hydrocarbons poor, liquid respiratory oxygen in air separation plants, in which liquid and gaseous at the same time Oxygen is generated.

An Sauerstoff für Atmungszwecke, insbesondere an sogenannten Höhen-Atmungssauerstoff, der für die Zivil- und Militärluftfahrt benötigt wird, werden hohe Anforderungen hinsichtlich Reinheit und Abwesenheit von übelriechenden Stoffen gestellt. Um ihn wirtschaftlich speichern und transportieren zu können, wird dieser Atmungssauerstoff in flüssigem Aggregatszustand verlangt.Oxygen for respiratory purposes, especially so-called high-altitude breathing oxygen for civil and military aviation is required, high demands are made in terms of purity and the absence of malodorous substances. In order to be able to store and transport it economically, this respiratory oxygen is in a liquid physical state demands.

Die unerwünschten Verunreinigungen gelangen bei der Luftzerlegung auf zwei Wegen in den Sauerstoff. Bei der Sauerstoffherstellung nach dem Hochdruckverfahren wird die Luft in ölgeschmierten Kompressoren verdichtet. Dabei läßt es sich nicht vermeiden, daß Spuren von Schmieröl und von Krackprodukten des Schmieröls, die an den heißen Zylinderwandungen der Kompressoren gebildet werden, über die Wärmeaustauscher und die Zerlegungssäulen in den produzierten Sauerstoff gelangen. Bei der SauerstoffherstsHung nach dem Niederdruckv^rfahren wird zwar diese Art der Verunreinigung ausgeschaltet, da die verarbeitete Luft überhaupt nicht mit Schmieröl in Berührung kommt. Trotzdem erfüllt der erzeugte Sauerstoff häufig nicht die Forderung nach ausreichender Geruchsfreiheit. Die Geruchsstoffe rühren in diesem Fall allein von den überall in der Luft in sehr geringen Konzentrationen vorhandenen Kohlenwasser-The undesired impurities get into the oxygen in two ways during air separation. In the production of oxygen after the high pressure process, the air is lubricated in oil Compressors compressed. It cannot be avoided that traces of lubricating oil and cracked products of the Lubricating oil, which is formed on the hot cylinder walls of the compressors, via the heat exchangers and the separation columns get into the oxygen produced. In the case of oxygen production, the low-pressure method is used although this type of pollution is eliminated, since the processed air does not come into contact with lubricating oil at all comes. In spite of this, the generated oxygen often does not meet the requirement for adequate freedom from odors. In this case, the odorous substances come from all over the place Air in very low concentrations of hydrocarbons

Als Anhaltspunkt für den Gehalt von Geruchsstoffen im Sauerstoff dient meist der Methangehalt, der für Höhen-Atmungssauerstoff den Wert 25 ppm nicht überschreiten darf. Dieser Wert wird auch bei Sauerstoff aus Niederdruck-Luftzerlegungsanlagen manchmal überschritten. Das 1st insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn in einem Luftzerlegungsapparat gleichzeitig eine große Menge gasförmiger Sauerstoff zusammen mit einer relativ kleinen Menge an flüssigem Sauerstoff produziert wird, wie es der Fall ist, wenn der gasförmige Sauerstoff in der Hüttenindustrie oder Chemie verwendet wird. Die Entfernung der Geruchsstoffe aus dem flüssigen Sauerstoff ist ziemlich aufwendig, üblich ist es, die Geruchsstoffe in Absorbern zu entfernen.fabrics like them ζ. B. be released during decomposition and combustion processes. As a guide to the content of Odor substances in oxygen are mostly used by the methane content, which for high-altitude respiratory oxygen must not exceed 25 ppm. This value is also derived from oxygen Low pressure air separation units sometimes exceeded. This is particularly the case when a large amount of gaseous gas is simultaneously in an air separation apparatus Oxygen is produced along with a relatively small amount of liquid oxygen, as is the case when the gaseous oxygen is used in the metallurgical industry or chemistry. The removal of the odorous substances from the liquid oxygen is quite time-consuming, it is common to do so To remove odorous substances in absorbers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Gewinnen von an Kohlenwasserstoffen armem, flüssigen Atmungssauerstoff in Luftzerlegungsanlagen, in welohen gleichzeitig flüssiger und gasförmiger Sauerstoff erzeugt wird, zu schaffen. Nach der Erfindung gelingt dies dadurch, daß als Atmungssauerstoff gewonnener gasförmiger Sauerstoff dient, welcher mit Hilfe von beim Luftzerlegungsprozeß anfallender Kälte verflüssigt wird.The invention is based on the object of a method for obtaining low hydrocarbons, liquid respiratory oxygen in air separation plants, in which at the same time liquid and gaseous oxygen is generated to create. According to the invention, this is achieved in that gaseous oxygen obtained as respiratory oxygen is used, which is also used With the help of the cold resulting from the air separation process, it is liquefied.

Besonders wirtschaftlich läßt sich das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren in Anlagen verwirklichen, die zugleich große Mengen gasförmigen Sauerstoffs neben kleineren Mengen an flüssigem Sauerstoff erzeugen. Dabei wird so verfahren, daß ein Teil des z. B. für hüttentechnische Anwendung erzeugten und komprimierten gasförmigen Sauerstoffs abgezweigt und mit Hilfe von Kälte aus der separat gewonnenen PlUssig-Produktion verflüssigt wird ("Sekundär-FlUssig-Sauerstoff"). Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren beruht auf der Erkenntnis, daß der gasförmige Produktionsanteil, aus dem dieser "Sekundär-FlUs 3 ig-Säuerst off" gewonnen wird, erheblieh weniger duroh Kohlenwasserstoffe verunreinigt ist als der im Trennapparat anfallende "Primär-Plüsslg-Sauerstoff". Dies erklärt sieh daraus, daß sich die in der Zerlegungsluft enthaltenen Kohlenwasserstoffe wegenThe process according to the invention can be implemented particularly economically in systems which simultaneously use large quantities Generate gaseous oxygen in addition to smaller amounts of liquid oxygen. The procedure is such that a part of z. B. for metallurgical application generated and compressed gaseous oxygen branched off and with the help is liquefied by cold from the separately obtained PlUssig production ("secondary liquid oxygen"). The inventive method is based on the knowledge that the gaseous Production share from which this "secondary fluid 3 ig acid off" is obtained, is considerably less contaminated duroh hydrocarbons than the "primary plus oxygen" occurring in the separator. This is explained by the fact that the Hydrocarbons contained in the separation air because of

Burch, Cryogenics April 19^7* ist der Gehalt des flüssigen Sauerstoffs an Methan im Gleichgewichtszustand z.

Flg. 2 shows a process scheme in which the coldness of the liquid oxygen, which arises when filling steel cylinders with the aid of a high-pressure pump and is usually not used, is used to liquefy respiratory oxygen.

Bei dem Verfahren nach Fig. 1 ist mit 1 eine Luftzerlegungsanlage bezeichnet, der über Leitung 2 produzierter gasförmiger Sauerstoff entnommen und dem Kompressor 5 zugeführt wird. Hier erfolgt eine Verdichtung auf Jo atü und der so verdichtete Sauerstoff gelangt über Leitung 4 zum Verbraucher. Von dieser Leitung 4 ist eine Leitung 9 abgezweigt, durch welche der zu Atmungszwecken bestimmte Sauerstoff abgenommen wird. Der gleichzeitig erzeugte flüssige Sauerstoff gelangt über Leitung 5 in den Vorratstank 6. Zur Erzeugung von Atnungssauerstoff wird dem Tank 6 über Leitung 7 flüssiger Sauerstoff entnommen, im Wärmeaustauscher 8 verdampft und Über Leitung 12 in die Luftzerlegungsanlage 1 zurückgegeben. Im Wärmeaustauscher 8 wird dabei gleichzeitig der über Leitung 9 eintretende Atmungssauerstoff verflüssigt, mittels Leitung Io abgezogen und durch das Drosselventil 11 in dem Speicher 13 für Atmungssauerstoff entspannt. Die Entspannungs- und Verdampfungsgase werden aus dom Speicher 15 durch Leitung 14 entnommen und in der Luftzorlegungsanlage 1 weiterverwertet (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt). In the method according to FIG. 1, 1 is an air separation plant denotes, the gaseous oxygen produced via line 2 is withdrawn and fed to the compressor 5. here there is a condensation on Jo atü and the condensed in this way Oxygen reaches the consumer via line 4. From this line 4, a line 9 is branched off, through which the to Certain oxygen is withdrawn for breathing purposes. The liquid oxygen generated at the same time arrives via a line 5 into the storage tank 6. To generate breathing oxygen, liquid oxygen is taken from the tank 6 via line 7, evaporated in the heat exchanger 8 and returned to the air separation plant 1 via line 12. In the heat exchanger 8 the respiratory oxygen entering via line 9 is simultaneously liquefied, withdrawn via line Io and passed through the throttle valve 11 in the memory 13 for breathing oxygen relaxed. The expansion and evaporation gases are taken from dom storage 15 through line 14 and in the air separation system 1 recycled (not shown in the drawing).

Bei dem Verfahren gemäß Pig. 2 sind gleiche Anlagenteile mit den gleichen Bezugszahlen wie in Fig. 1 versehen. Auch das Verfahren entspricht zum Teil dem in Fig. 1 beschriebenen, so daß hier nur die davon abweichenden Verfahrensschritte beschrieben werden. Der zu Atmungszwecken bestimmte Sauerstoff gelangt wieder über Leitung 9 und unter einem Druck von Jo atü in den Wärmeaustauscher 8, wo er kondensiert, über Leitung Io und Entspannungsventil 11 gelangt er anschließend in den Speicher 13 für Atmungssauerstoff. Die zur Verflüssigung des Atmungssauerstoffes erforderliche Kälte erhält man beim Füllen von Stahlflaschen mit gewonnenem flüssigen Sauerstoff. Die dabei anfallende Kälte wird üblicherweise nicht genutzt, in Verbindung mit dem Verfahren der Erfindung läßt sie sich jedoch so verwerten, daß sich ein äußerst wirtschaftliches Verfahren zur Herstellung von Atmungssauerstoff ergibt.In the method according to Pig. 2 are the same parts of the system the same reference numerals as in FIG. 1 are provided. The method also corresponds in part to that described in FIG. 1, so that only the procedural steps that differ from this are described here. The oxygen intended for breathing purposes is returned via line 9 and under pressure from Jo atü into the heat exchanger 8, where it condenses, Via line Io and expansion valve 11, it then reaches the reservoir 13 for respiratory oxygen. the The cold required to liquefy the respiratory oxygen is obtained by filling steel cylinders with recovered liquid oxygen. The resulting cold is usually not used, but in connection with the method of the invention it can be utilized in such a way that results in an extremely economical process for the production of respiratory oxygen.

Der zum Abfüllen in Stahlflaschen bestimmte flüssige Sauerstoff aus dem Tank 6 gelangt über Leitung 7 in die Hochdruckpumpe 18, wo er auf den verlangten Flaschendruck komprimiert wird. Durch Leitung 15 wird er dem Wärmeaustauscher 8 zugeleitet, wo er auf eine für die Flaschenfüllung brauchbare Temperatur erwärmt wird und dabei durch Wärmeaustausch den Atmungssauerstoff verflüssigt. Nach Durchlaufen eines Nachwärmers 16 gelangt der Hochdrucksauerstoff schließlich in den FlaschenfUlistand 17.The liquid oxygen intended for filling into steel bottles from the tank 6 reaches the high-pressure pump 18 via line 7, where it is compressed to the required bottle pressure. Through line 15 it becomes the heat exchanger 8, where it is heated to a temperature suitable for filling the bottle and thereby by heat exchange liquefies the respiratory oxygen. After passing through a reheater 16, the high-pressure oxygen finally arrives in the bottle fUlistand 17.

Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren ist selbstverständlich nicht auf diese Ausführungsbeispiele beschränkt. Es ist weder erforderlich, daß der zur Verflüssigung bestimmte Atmungssaueretoff unter einem Druck von 3o atü steht, noch ist es erforderlich, daß die Verflüssigung des Atraungssauerstoffes durch Wärmeaustausch mit verdampfendem flüssigen Sauerstoff geschieht. Doch ist diese Verfahrenswelse im allgemeinen am wirtschaftlichsten. Voraussetzung für die Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens ist, daß in der Luftzerlegungsanlage gleichzeitig flüssiger und gasförmicor SauerstoffThe method according to the invention is of course not restricted to these exemplary embodiments. It is not necessary that the respiratory oxygen intended for liquefaction is under a pressure of 30 atmospheres, nor is it necessary that the liquefaction of the respiratory oxygen should be carried out Heat exchange takes place with evaporating liquid oxygen. But this procedural catfish is generally on most economical. The prerequisite for carrying out the process according to the invention is that liquid and gaseous oxygen are simultaneously present in the air separation plant
