DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a condensing evaporator that exchanges heat between a liquid medium in a first fluid chamber and a fluid in a second fluid chamber.

Conventionally, a condensing evaporator used in the upper column of a double rectification column of an air liquefaction separation device is partitioned by a number of vertically parallel partition plates, and is divided into a first fluid chamber, (i! elementary chamber) and a second fluid chamber. A so-called plate-fin heat exchanger is used, in which double chambers (nitrogen chambers) are stacked alternately adjacent to each other, and the oxygen chambers are open at the top and bottom ends, and the oxygen chambers are open at the bottom of the upper column. The space is filled with liquid oxygen by being immersed in the liquid medium (liquid oxygen) that accumulates there. Then, heat exchange is performed with the nitrogen gas introduced into the nitrogen chamber from the lower column, so that the nitrogen gas is condensed to become liquid nitrogen, and the liquid oxygen is evaporated to become oxygen gas.

めている。
(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, since the oxygen chamber of a conventional condenser evaporator is immersed in liquid oxygen, the liquid temperature and boiling point rise (approximately 1°C/m) due to the liquid pressure at the depth of the liquid. The lower part of the condensing evaporator has a higher temperature than the upper part, which reduces the temperature difference with the condensing temperature of nitrogen.

凝縮蒸発器の窒素側と酸素側の温度差は通常1〜2℃と
なっているので、上記液体酸素の温度上昇は凝縮蒸発器
の性能上大きな問題となっている。
Since the temperature difference between the nitrogen side and the oxygen side of the condensing evaporator is usually 1 to 2°C, the temperature rise of the liquid oxygen is a major problem in terms of the performance of the condensing evaporator.

That is, in order to operate the lower tower at 5 phantom f/1-jG,
Appropriate performance cannot be achieved unless the height of the condenser evaporator is set to approximately 2m.If the height of the condenser evaporator is increased to increase the capacity, the depth of the liquid acid thread will increase and the temperature of the liquid will rise. Therefore, the operating pressure of the lower column had to be increased, and the diameter of the column had to be increased to increase the number of bases, which made the manufacture of the column complicated.

In addition, the temperature increase due to the depth of liquid oxygen affects the operating pressure of the lower column. That is, the operating pressure of the lower column determines the condensation temperature of the saturated nitrogen gas at the top of the lower column, and in order to lower this condensation temperature, it is necessary to lower the temperature of liquid oxygen.

On the other hand, the power of the air separation device is the compression of the raw air, that is, the
Most of the energy is consumed in raising the pressure to the I column pressure, so if the lower column can be operated at a lower pressure, power costs can be reduced. However, in the conventional structure in which the condensing evaporator is immersed in liquid oxygen, there is a drawback in that the valve that increases the temperature of liquid oxygen by the liquid head always limits the reduction in the pressure of the lower column.

Furthermore, the capacity of the condenser-evaporator cannot be fully demonstrated unless liquid oxygen is stored in the space at the bottom of the upper column where the condenser-evaporator is installed. Since neither the condensate of liquid nitrogen nor the gas rising in the upper column due to evaporation of liquid oxygen is generated, the rectification action does not start, resulting in wasted time (start-up time).
During this time, there will be a loss in power costs.

The present invention eliminates geometrical restrictions in the height direction and enables the upper and lower bases of a rectification column for large-scale air separation equipment to be integrated into an integrated structure. It is an object of the present invention to provide a condensing evaporator that can reduce pressure to eliminate increases in liquid temperature and boiling point, reduce raw material air compression pressure to reduce power costs, and shorten start-up time.
