Definitions
- the invention relates to an air separation plant, a method for the cryogenic separation of air by means of such an air separation plant and the corresponding use of a slip ring motor.
- the distillation column systems are operated at different operating pressures in their respective separation columns.
- the double column systems in this case have a so-called high-pressure column and a so-called low-pressure column.
- the operating pressure of the high-pressure column is, for example, 4.3 to 6.9 bar, preferably about 5.0 bar.
- the low-pressure column is operated at an operating pressure of, for example, 1.3 to 1.7 bar, preferably about 1.5 bar.
- the pressures given here and below are absolute pressures.
- Corresponding air separation plants can be operated for example with so-called internal compression.
- a liquid stream is taken from the distillation column system and at least partially brought to liquid pressure.
- the liquid brought to pressure is heated in a main heat exchanger of the air separation plant against a heat transfer medium and evaporated.

- the term "evaporation" includes in the internal compression cases in which there is a supercritical pressure and therefore no phase transition takes place in the true sense.
- the liquid pressurized stream is then "pseudo-evaporated".
- a heat transfer medium is liquefied (or pseudo-liquefied if it is under supercritical pressure) against a corresponding (pseudo) vaporising stream.
- the heat transfer medium is usually formed by a part of the compressed air supplied to the air separation plant.
- HAP high-air pressure
- the total air supplied to the air separation plant or the total air used in a corresponding process in an air separation plant (referred to herein as the "total air amount") is included in a single main compressor (here also referred to as “main compressor unit”) - compressed to a pressure which is well above the operating pressure of the high pressure column.
- the pressure difference is at least 4 bar and preferably between 6 and 16 bar.
- HAP processes the compressed air quantity in the main compressor unit can be decoupled from the process air quantity. In such a case, only a portion of the compressed to the said pressure total amount of air is used as so-called process air, so used for the actual rectification and fed into the high-pressure column.
- process air so used for the actual rectification and fed into the high-pressure column.
- decoupling is not provided in all HAP methods.
- HAP methods are for example from EP 2 466 236 A1 , of the EP 2 458 311 A1 and the US 5,329,776 A known.
- Shares of the total amount of air can optionally be recompressed together or separately from one another in one or more after-compressors to an even higher pressure (referred to here as after-compressor pressure). They can then be decompressed via an expansion machine (so-called turbine stream) and / or via an expansion valve (so-called throttle flow) to the operating pressure of the high-pressure column or a slightly higher pressure. The respective relaxed portions can be fed into the high-pressure column.
- after-compressor pressure even higher pressure
- Another portion of the total amount of air can, if necessary, after previous recompression and expansion in the aforementioned expansion machine, be further relaxed in another expansion machine. As a result, the refrigeration demand of the air separation plant can be covered.
- this proportion of the total amount of air is not fed into the high-pressure column, but ultimately relieved to a pressure, which is lower than the operating pressure of the high pressure column, for example, at atmospheric pressure or the operating pressure of the low pressure column.
- This portion can then be compressed again, for example, in the main compressor, blown off into the atmosphere and / or fed into the low-pressure column.
- asynchronous motors are known to have a high starting current.
- start-up current the current is called, which flows through the asynchronous motor after switching on, in order to accelerate this from standstill.
- the starting current of an asynchronous motor is always well above the rated current, ie the current that flows through the asynchronous motor at the rated speed.
- the rated speed refers to the speed at which the asynchronous motor runs in normal operation or for which it is designed.
- the starting current also depends on the load with which the. Motor must start, the so-called starting torque.
- a typical asynchronous motor has a starting current of approx. Four to eight times its rated current in so-called heavy-duty starting. This results in increased loads in the power grid. For example, the increased power consumption can lead to voltage drops that affect other connected consumers. Already with a voltage dip of about 10 to 15%, for example, data processing equipment may fail or relays fall, which, for example, the operation of an air separation plant is disturbed.
- asynchronous motors can basically provide a relatively high starting torque, so that the unit of asynchronous motor and connected machine starts up in a relatively short time.
- high inertia and / or counter torques which can occur in a main compressor unit of an air separation plant, ie during heavy starting, several seconds can elapse. Due to the high starting current it can This can lead to overheating, which can lead to engine damage. In this case, all participating equipment (circuit breakers, fuses, cables, etc.) can be affected.
- frequency converters In order to limit the starting current, frequency converters (frequency converters) can be used in the event of weak line power, which enable a guided, stepless motor start of the asynchronous motor with specification of a nominal torque.
- frequency converters are expensive and expensive.
- adapted starting methods e.g., direct starting or auto-starting occasion
- the present invention is based on a known air separation plant with a distillation column system comprising at least one high-pressure column and a low-pressure column.
- a corresponding air separation plant further comprises a main compressor unit, which is adapted to compress a total amount of air which is supplied to the air separation plant as a whole to a pressure which is at least 4 bar higher than an operating pressure for which the high-pressure column is set up.
- the present invention is thus used in the HAP process explained in the introduction, in which correspondingly increased pressures are used for the total amount of air.
- a “main compressor unit” is in the context of the present invention, a compressor or a compressor assembly, which is a driven with external energy machine for the compression of air in the air separation plant.
- This can be designed as a single-stage or multi-stage compressor, the stages of which are all connected to the same drive, wherein all stages can be accommodated in a housing or connected to a transmission.
- such a main compressor unit may be the only external energy driven machine for compressing air in the air separation plant, whereby a “single machine” is also understood to mean the mentioned multi-stage compressors, the stages of which are all connected to the same drive.
- a main compressor unit in this case comprises a drive, which, as explained above, is usually designed in the form of an electric motor, as well as the actual compressor with a plurality of compressor stages, which are adapted to compress the air supplied to the main compressor unit.
- main compressor units used in HAP processes typically comprise four, five or six compressor stages. The compressor stages are driven by the drive via the common shaft.
- the pressure with which the total amount of air is provided is substantially higher than the operating pressure of the high-pressure column.
- substantially higher is understood to mean a pressure difference of at least 4 bar and preferably between 6 and 16 bar.
- a slip-ring motor is an electric motor in the form of a three-phase asynchronous machine.
- Slip ring motors differ essentially from common electric motors, which have so-called squirrel-cage rotors, in that the rotor winding is not short-circuited (permanently) but is led to the outside via the slip rings giving the name.
- the starting current of such slip-ring motors can be reduced by increasing the resistance of the rotor circuit.
- the contacts of the rotor winding which are short-circuited in squirrel cage rotors and guided in a slip ring motor to the outside, with adjustable resistors, so-called starting resistors, interconnected.
- Slip ring motors are particularly suitable for application scenarios in which high starting torques are required with simultaneously low starting current.
- slip-ring motors do not require complex electronics, especially in the performance class required here.
- Slip ring motors of a defined power can be used in particular for several air separation plants of a particular type in particular, without having to take into account the respective present (local) network design at the place of use. The design and creation of such air separation plants is significantly cheaper by such standardization.
- the cooling of the slip-ring motors can advantageously be done by means of air / water heat exchangers, which can also be integrated into corresponding circuits of an air separation plant.
- slip-ring motors are particularly advantageous in the illustrated HAP method, because here a disproportionately higher starting torque than in conventional compressors is observed.
- HAP main compressor units typically have four, five or six compressor stages connected to a common shaft. These have a disproportionately increased starting torque in comparison to the known main compressor / booster combinations (so-called Main Air Compressor / Booster Air Compressor or MAC / BAC combinations).
- main compressor / booster combinations so-called Main Air Compressor / Booster Air Compressor or MAC / BAC combinations.
- slip-ring motors can also be used in such MAC / BAC combinations. In such main compressor / booster combinations, there are separate shafts which, taken individually, require lower starting torques.
- the present invention thus makes possible overall a reduction of the starting current with a simultaneous increase in the starting torque of corresponding drives for main compressor units.
- the rotor winding of the rotor of the slip-ring motor has first connections, which are connected to each other via adjustable starting resistors. About this starting resistors, a resistance in the rotor or the rotor winding can be adjusted dosed.
- the other (second) terminals of the rotor winding are advantageously interconnected in star connection with each other, as also below with reference to the FIG. 2 explained in more detail.
- Slip ring motors can basically also have runners, which can be acted upon by an auxiliary voltage with adjustable frequency. Such a design of a rotor winding proves to be structurally or structurally complex, but has advantages in certain application scenarios with respect to the metering of starting torque or current.
- a slip-ring rotor motor as used in accordance with the invention, has a rated current at a nominal speed.
- the starting current of the slip-ring rotor motor can be limited to at most 1.1 times the value of the rated current.
- the starting current is thus at most 10% above the rated current, but can also be limited to other values, for example.
- the starting current can be, for example, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 8%, 6%, 4% or 2% above the nominal current. This represents a significant improvement over known main compressor units of HAP air separation plants, where, as mentioned, the starting current is up to four to eight times the rated current.
- the invention can be used in particular for high-performance main compressor units.
- the present invention is suitable for main compressor units with a rated power of 1 to 25 MW, in particular 8 to 25 or 8 to 18 MW.
- main compressor units as used in the mentioned performance class, are typically realized with four to six compression stages.
- the invention enables a drive of such a compressor with a common shaft, without that the above-mentioned negative effects occur due to the increased current consumption during starting.
- a slip-ring motor can be used in a particularly advantageous manner for driving a main compressor unit, which can be equipped with wheels of different impeller sizes. For example, four impeller sizes can be used here; the corresponding wheels are interchangeable. This results in different electrical power requirements for the electric drive, which can be operated by a slip ring motor significantly better than by a conventional asynchronous squirrel cage motor.
- a slip ring motor for main compressor units and thus air separation plants of different performance classes can be used.
- a slip-ring motor is particularly suitable for the main compressor units considered here because they have a high starting torque and very high mass moments of inertia.
- the moment of inertia of a corresponding main compressor unit is for example up to forty times the engine moment of inertia.
- the starting torque is e.g. 25 - 70% or 25 - 50% of the rated motor torque.
- the maximum available starting torque corresponds to the rated motor torque with a maximum of 1.1 times the rated motor current.
- a particular advantage results from the use of a slip ring motor and the fact that the specifically variable starting resistance Run-up time of the main compressor unit and the passage of critical speeds or speed ranges during startup can be specifically controlled. As a result, in particular loads on the compressor (eg due to vibrations in these critical speed ranges) during startup can be reduced.
- An advantageous air separation plant further comprises a main heat exchanger, a first expansion machine and an expansion valve, and is adapted to cool a first portion of the total amount of air in the main heat exchanger to relax in the first expansion machine and feed it into the high-pressure column.
- Such an air separation plant is further adapted to cool a second portion of the total amount of air sequentially in the main heat exchanger to relax in an expansion valve and feed it into the high-pressure column.
- the relaxation of the first portion of the amount of feed air in the expansion machine can be used to operate a turbine booster, so that the released here mechanical power can be used meaningfully.
- the "main heat exchanger” can be formed from one or more parallel and / or serially connected heat exchanger sections, for example from one or more plate heat exchanger blocks.
- a main heat exchanger is used to cool the proportions of the total amount of air in the indirect heat exchange with return streams from the distillation column system or for evaporation in the internal compression.
- expansion machine includes any machine for work-related expansion of a process stream, for example, one of the proportions of the total amount of air.
- the expansion machines are preferred in the However, the present invention by the principle known from the field of cryogenics turboexpander or expansion turbines formed.
- the proportions in the expansion machines or other expansion devices used, such as expansion valves are not necessarily relieved completely (i.e., to ambient pressure), but possibly only to some degree (partially relaxed).
- An air separation plant advantageously also comprises a second expansion machine and is adapted to a third portion of the total amount of air to relax to a pressure which is less than the operating pressure for which the high-pressure column is established.
- a method for the cryogenic separation of air which is carried out with an air separation plant explained above, is also the subject of the invention. Such a method benefits from the explained advantages, to which express reference is therefore made. The same applies to the inventive use of a slip ring motor.

- FIG. 2 shows a main compressor unit according to an embodiment of the invention in the form of a schematic system diagram.
- the main compressor unit is as in the FIG. 1 , generally designated 2.
- the main compressor unit 2 comprises an electric drive 210 and a group of compressor stages, here indicated generally at 220.
- the main compressor unit 2 has six compressor stages in the example shown. As explained above, however, corresponding main compressor units can also be designed with a smaller or larger number of compressor stages.
- Each of the compressor stages comprises in the illustrated example in each case a compressor 221 and an aftercooler 222 (only provided at a compressor stage with reference numerals).
- the specific embodiment may be different from the illustrated example.
- the atmospheric air AIR sucked in via the filter 1 can also be passed successively through a plurality of compressors 221 and then subsequently cooled in an aftercooler 222.
- the aftercooler 3 can also be dispensed with, or one of the aftercoolers 222 of the group 220 of compressor stages can assume the function of the aftercooler 3.
- At any point between the respective compressor stages of the group 220 of compressor stages further air streams can be fed, which may be, for example, an air stream, which was previously relaxed to atmospheric pressure. This can be the current g, for example FIG. 1 be.
- the electric drive 210 of the compressor unit 2 is designed as a slip-ring rotor motor 210 according to this embodiment of the invention. In the example shown, it is a three-phase slip ring motor 210. Basically, however, slip ring motors 210 with a different number of phases are known.
- the slip ring motor 210 includes a stator 211 and a rotor 212.
- the stator 211 may be formed according to a stator of a squirrel-cage motor. It is energized via corresponding phase connections U, V and W. A commutation circuit used for this purpose is not shown.
- the rotor 212 comprises a rotor winding provided with suitable starting resistors R and externally controllable.
- the rotor winding of the rotor 212 is constructed as a three-phase winding.
- the windings are preferably connected in the star, in other embodiments in the triangle.
- the neutral point of the windings is arranged inside the rotor 212. Alternatively, the neutral point can also be led to the outside via a slip ring.
- the winding ends, here denoted by K, L and M, are connected to slip rings, to which suitable brushes can be applied as current collectors.
- the material of the brushes is preferably optimized for cranking operation and need not be designed for sustained loading.
- the rotor winding is preferably short-circuited via a suitable slip ring short-circuiting device (not shown). Subsequently, the brushes are lifted off the slip rings by means of a brush lifting device. During normal operation, the brushes are lifted off and the rotor is short-circuited.
- the slip rings can be housed in a separate housing from the actual motor housing. This allows easier maintenance of slip rings and brushes. Brush abrasion is kept away from the actual engine in this way. Maintaining a corresponding slip-ring motor 210 essentially involves replacing worn brushes and cleaning. However, as the brushes only rest during start-up and then lift off, replacement and cleaning are kept to a minimum. The maintenance intervals are thus not extended compared to those of comparable squirrel-cage motors.
- the terminals K, L and M are connected to a connection point 213.
- the resistance value of the starting resistors R is determined after the turn-on time, i. at the start of the slip-ring rotor motor 210, continuously reduced until the terminals K, L and M at the rated speed of the slip-ring motor 210 can be short-circuited via the connection point 213. This is done as mentioned, e.g. by means of a slip ring short-closing device.
