或轉至主熱交換器28a段,於其間汽化並加溫,最後經 管線87排出作爲低壓產物(LPGOX) ° 第四部份以內壓縮使至極高之產物壓力,例如8 1 巴,適當之高壓產生於另一泵89,並將超臨界氧90導 入於主熱交換器系統之28a段,並加熱其間於高壓。經 內壓縮之氧,在加溫後經由管線93被提取作爲高壓產 物。 在設備之一般運轉模式中,所有加壓產物是以其整體 送至對應之消耗裝置手中,例如高壓氧93 ’送至一或多 個氣化單元而於其中產生燃氣14,而高壓氮送至燃燒室 -12- 539840 五、發明說明(11) 1 4或成排放氣體1 5 (未示)。如果氣體渦輪失效,在 極端短暫時間後,供應氣分離器用之進料空氣約有5 〇% 損失。根據本發明,在此時刻,適當比例之加壓產物7 9 、80經由以虛線表示之管路91和92引導進入直接接觸 冷卻器1 9 ’立刻取代空氣之流失量。因爲產物管線7 9 、93內之壓力高於空氣壓力(直接接觸冷卻器之操作壓 力),對此不必使用機器。管線9 1和92只需要裝設適 當的膨脹閥以防在直接接觸冷卻器1 9和下游純化裝置 23之上之壓力錘。對於再循環產物氣流91、92之流速 控制也可以用壓力調節器限制。就控制技術而言,此種 緊急連接可以設於溢流口控制之週圍;其將在氣體渦輪 膨脹器之旋轉速率中之一種狀況所引發。 表1 :常用操作模式(設計) 空氣流速 HP-GOX HP-GAN 380000 米 3(STP)/小時 >> 81000 米 3(STP)/小時 285000 米 3(STP)/小時 10巴 81巴 24巴 (STP=標準溫度、壓力) 轰2 :氣體渦輪懕縮機(GT-行程)之損失 空氣流速 HP-GOX HP-GAN 190000 米 3(STP)/小時 >> 81000 米 3(STP)/小時 285000 米 3(STP)/小時 190000 米 3(STP)/小時 << 41900 米 3(STP)/小時 150900 米 3(STP)/小時 «再循環 380000 米 3(STP)/小時 >> 39100 米 3(STP)/小時 134100 米 3(STP) 或予變更,再循環產物氣流也可以進料至冷卻裝置1 9 和純化裝置23之間的進料空氣管線。如果各氣流乾燥 ,與純化裝置23下游之進料空氣混合也可列入考慮’ 例如導入管線24。 -13- 539840 五、發明說明(13) 12…發電機 13…氣體渦輪膨脹器 14…燃氣 15…廢氣、排放氣體 16…壓縮機系統 17…壓縮空氣之第二部 18…空氣管線、進料氣體 19…直接接觸冷卻器 2 0…水 2 1…熱水 22…已冷卻空氣 23…純化裝置 24…純化空氣 25…(24)之小部份 26、2 7···管線 28(a)、(b)、(c)…主要熱交換器各段 29(a)、(b)、(c)…各段內之管線 30(a)、(b)、(〇…各段內之管線 31(b)、(〇…流動各部 32…管線 33…高壓塔 34···低壓塔 35…冷凝器一蒸發器(主冷凝器) 3 6a、b、c…提取各部 -15- 539840 五、發明說明(14) 37···管線 38···再壓縮機 39···後冷卻器 40…管線 41…膨脹渦輪 4 2…管線 4 3…相分離 44…管線 4 5…液體 4 6…液態空氣 4 7…空氣之一部 48…再壓縮機 49…後冷卻器 5 0…管線 51…膨脹 52···氣態純氮 53…(52)之第一部份 54…冷凝物 55…迴流 56…管線 57…再冷卻,對流熱交換器 58…管線 59···調節閥 60 、 61 、 62…管線 -16- 539840 五、發明說明(15) 6 4". 再循環液體 65… 管線 6 6··· 調節閥 67、 68…管線 6 9··· 調節閥 70·.· 液態粗氣 7 1". 管線 72… 調節閥 73… 不純溢流氮 74"· (73)之一部 75a 4 b…管線 76··· (73)之一部 77··· 再生氣體 78… 產物壓縮機 排放 79… 管線 8 0·.· 液氧產物 8 1". 泵 8 2… (80)之第一部 份 8 3… 二相混合物 8 4".
