(Patent Document 1) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2002-295799 (Summary of the Invention) However, the problem described in the case of the air separation device of the above-described conventional example is as follows: i (1) demand for natural gas (NG) If it disappears and is no longer sent out, there is no need to cool the middle of the compressed gas discharged from the recycle compressor, but the media has to stop the operation of the recycle compressor. That is, it is necessary to repeatedly stop the operation of the compressor. The operation starts again, and air 8 cannot be avoided: the operating rate of the device is reduced. 77 (2) The usage of the LNG is large, and the air separation device needs to be designed with the smallest amount of LNG 4 In addition, the heat of LNG is used. μ 1270644 (3) In addition, the heating in the stop of operation causes gasification of UG remaining in the tank to generate natural gasification gas (touch, causing the inside of the (10) tank to rise. Dangerous, it is necessary to discard the deletion in the LNG tank, which is economically disadvantageous. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an air separation device, that is, it can not continue to be sent, and can continue to operate, thereby preventing the production of BGG. The present invention is directed to solving the above problems. Therefore, the air separation device of claim 1 of the present invention has: air swell The machine 'retracts the air I from the atmosphere to a predetermined pressure; the MS adsorber, which compresses the compressed air compressed by the air compressor; and the upper retentate tower, the contracted air purified by the MS adsorber passes through the main heat After the parent exchanger is cooled, the fine separation is separated into oxygen and nitrogen; and the milk circulation cooling mechanism has a nitrogen circulation flow path, and the flow path is provided with an LNG utilization heat exchanger (for separating and passing the fine retention tower) The main heat exchange is taken out and recirculated by the recycle compressor I, # ln 郃) and the swelled turbine (used to adiabatically expand the compressed nitrogen discharged from the recycle compressor), characterized by: Cooling mechanism setting: LNG hot and cold heat storage flow path, which is connected to the UG warmer via a hot tank and a hot and cold heat accumulator for accumulating LNG; and... a cold heat recovery flow path through the LNG tank and the LNG pump Ln g using a helium exchanger, a hot and cold heat accumulator, and using the cold cold heat exchanger generated by the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism to return to the LNG tank. 1270644 [The air separation device of the patent application scope 2 of the present invention is In the air separation device of the applicant's patent scope, a booster is disposed on the downstream side of the circulation compressor of the nitrogen circulation flow path to compress the compressed nitrogen driven by the expansion turbine and compressed by the circulation compressor The pressure is increased.

Between the flow paths, a branch flow path for each chiller is installed. The method for operating an air separation device according to the fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, when a sufficient amount of LNG can be supplied from the LNG tank, the cooling and heat storage of the LNG is performed in parallel with the cooling of the compressed nitrogen by the cold heat of the LNG. In the case of hot and cold heat storage, the LNG after heat storage is gasified by LNG heater to produce natural gas; on the other hand, when the supply of LNG supplied from the LNG tank is small, it is cooled by the cold heat of the LNG supplied from the LNG tank via the LNG pump. The nitrogen gas is compressed, and the LNG is heated up, and the LNG or NG which is partially or completely vaporized is combined with the LNG supplied from the LNG tank via the LNG pump, so that it becomes a camera and then flows into the hot and cold.

In addition, even if the demand for NG is $10, it can continue to operate according to the % compressor by utilizing the heat and cold stored in the cold and heat accumulator. Therefore, unlike the conventional air separation device, it is possible to continue the operation because the rain is disappeared and is not sent out, so that the operation rate of the air separation device can be improved, which can contribute to improvement. The productivity of liquid nitrogen is returned to the LNG tank by the LNG which is returned to the LNG tank by the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism, thereby causing the suppression of bog in the lng tank. Therefore, it is not necessary to discard B〇G. According to the air separation device of claim 2 of the present invention, a booster is installed on the downstream side of the nitrogen-/guai road, which is driven by an expansion turbine and is used to compress the borrowing cycle compressor. The pressure of the compressed nitrogen gas rises. = This can increase the production efficiency of the nitrogen cycle of the nitrogen cycle by adiabatic expansion of the higher pressure compressed nitrogen. χ, by slamming the downtime and expansion turbines by at least 2 units, the production efficiency of liquid nitrogen in the nitrogen circulation flow path can be further improved.

"," and "the fourth main part, liquid nitrogen supercooled filial g 4, the liquid nitrogen produced by the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 is separated from the low temperature i gas, and the liquid nitrogen is supercooled to a liquid nitrogen product. Hereinafter, the configuration of the main portions constituting the air separation device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The configuration of the raw material air treatment unit 1 is as shown in Fig. 2 . That is, the raw material air of the air compressor 12 is taken in from the atmosphere through the suction filter 11, and the air compressor 12 is compressed to a predetermined pressure, for example, 〇6 MPa. The raw material air discharged from the air compressor 12 is cooled by a cooler 13 that exchanges heat with a cooling medium, and then introduced into the Ms adsorber 14 to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, and the like. The MS adsorber 14 is configured to be arranged in parallel, usually by introducing '1270644 raw material air into any of the Ms adsorber crucibles 4, and another unapplied adsorption of the unused MS adsorber 14 The agent is converted and used after being regenerated by the nitrogen gas heated by the regenerative heater 15. That is, by alternate use, the air separation device does not have to be stopped for the regeneration of the MS adsorption. The raw material air such as moisture and carbon dioxide is removed by the Ms adsorber 丨4, and then sent to the cold box through the flow path A as shown in Fig. 2. Further, the regenerative electric heater 15 heats the nitrogen gas supplied from the low pressure retentate tower 22 accommodated in the cold box 2, which will be described later, through the flow path B shown in Fig. 2, and supplies it to the MS adsorption by heated nitrogen gas. The nitrogen is then released from the silencer 16 to the atmosphere by the adsorbent and then the nitrogen of the adsorbent of the MS adsorber 14 is regenerated. In the cold box 2, a plurality of machines as shown on the left side of Fig. 3 are housed. These machines are the main heat exchanger 21, the upper low pressure retentate U, the lower portion, the fine column 23, and the subcooler 24. Namely, the #, L ^ 4 β working milk which is treated in the raw material air treatment: 1 and sent to the main heat exchanger 21 through the flow path A is cooled by ..., the parent exchanger 21. Further, the raw material air is taken out from the top of the low-pressure fine retaining a 22 through the subcooler 24 by the iX 99 as a straw, and the milk is taken out from the upper portion of the low-pressure fine W 22 through the subcooler 24 (Supply to the MS adsorber 14) 'And from the high pressure finishing tower, the gas is cooled by heat exchange. The pure cooling air passing through the main heat exchanger 21 is supplied back to the bottom of the OQ ^ ^ A ^ fine. Hey. The cooling coffee supplied to the high-pressure finishing tower 23 is called a bucket, and is completed, and gradually becomes nitrogen-rich in the tower, and the purity nitrogen in the high-pressure finishing tower 23. Part of the high-purity nitrogen, from the high-quality fine, then D α is sent out of the system by heating the gas 1270644 through the main fatherless man. The residual portion is directed to the main condenser 26, cooled and condensed to become liquid nitrogen. A portion of the condensed liquid nitrogen is withdrawn from the upper portion of the high pressure retentate column 23, supercooled by the supercooled portion 24, and supplied to the top of the low pressure retentate column 22 after being depressurized. The liquid nitrogen of the sputum is gradually enriched with oxygen during the flow in the tower, and is regarded as a liquid: the gas 25 is accumulated at the bottom of the smashing tower 23. The liquid air 25 is pumped from the high pressure retentate tower 23 to the subcooler, and is subcooled to be introduced into the middle of the low pressure retentate tower 22. The second part of the low-pressure finishing tower 22 is filled with oxygen-rich liquid, and the air gradually condenses oxygen under the inside of the tower, and becomes high-purity oxygen at the bottom. =, the liquid oxygen accumulated in the bottom of the low pressure retentate tower 22 is taken out of the system as a liquid oxygen product. On the other hand, the high purity nitrogen taken out from the top of the low pressure fine (4) 22 through the subcooler to be taken out and the high purity nitrogen taken out from the high pressure finishing tower 23 are passed through the heat exchange between the parent exchanger 21 and the original shirt gas. The flow D shown in Fig. 3 is reached and sent to the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3, respectively.

Further, the first LNG uses the heat exchanger (33a) to cool the nitrogen gas sucked into the nitrogen compressor (31) and sucked into the circulation compressor (32). Further, the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 is provided with an LNG hot and cold heat storage passage, and is connected to the LNG warmer 37 by the LNG tank 35a, the LNG pump 35b, and the cold and hot heat storage unit 34a for storing the heat of the LNG. Further, the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 is provided with a cold heat recovery flow path 35 through [gutter 35 & pump 35b, second LNG use heat exchanger 33e, first heat exchange cry 33a, cold heat accumulator 34a, i Nitrogen heat and cold use heat exchanger coffee: j LN ^ Cao 35a. Further, from the portion (10) of the cold heat recovery passage 35 which is discharged by the heat exchanger 33a, the discharge passage 36 is communicated to the LNG warmer 37 via the precooler 33. The NG discharge flow path 36 and the LNG hot and cold heat flow path can also be respectively connected to the respective LNG warmers. The LNG warmer 37 may be, for example, a seawater RV (Ren Rack Vaporizer) or a plug of circulating water. In addition, in this case, the pre-cooling device or the second LNG utilizing heat of the pre-cooling device or the second LNG may be used to pre-cool the pre-cooling device through the flow paths C and D. The exchanger coffee, the first ... = profit: heat exchanger, the second nitrogen cold heat heat exchanger is used to integrate or divide each material. Further, examples of the use of the sputum agent for the hot and cold heat heaters include, for example, Zhengyiyuan, Zhengji, ethanol, methylcyclohexanol, and br. 13-1270644 propanol. The portion of the nitrogen gas compressed by the recycle compressor 32 and utilizing the cold portion of the heat exchanger in the first LNG is expanded by the expansion turbine 33b as described above, but the other nitrogen is branched on the way and passed through the second LNG. The heat exchanger is cooled during the flow path β of the second and second nitrogen cold heat heat exchangers 33d, and the liquid nitrogen is fed into the liquid nitrogen supercooling tank 4 shown in Fig. 3 . Inside the liquid nitrogen supercooling tank 4, as shown on the right side of Fig. 3, the gas liquid separator 41 and the liquid nitrogen subcooler 42 are housed. Namely, the liquid nitrogen supplied from the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 through the second: E is separated into the low-temperature nitrogen gas 46 and the liquid nitrogen 47 by the gas-liquid separation 141. The gas-liquid separator 41: a portion of the knife-off II gas 46 is sent to the low-pressure retenterator tower 22, and the remainder is merged with the nitrogen gas discharged from the expansion turbine 33b through the passage F. On the other hand, the liquid core (4) nitrogen is too cool! ! 42 It is supercooled and used as a liquid nitrogen coat: it is taken out of the system. A portion of the liquid nitrogen 47 is branched near the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 而 and sent to the top of the high-pressure retentate tower 23. Further, the liquid nitrogen flow path 43 is branched from the outlet of the gas-liquid separator 41, and the nitrogen flow path 43 is used to cause the nitrogen gas to be cooled. In the liquid nitrogen flow path 43, the liquid is disposed according to the liquid state. The detection temperature 42 of the nitrogen temperature detection 45 (to detect the liquid nitrogen temperature of the liquid nitrogen product) cools the liquid, thereby enabling the production of nitrogen products that are subcooled to a predetermined temperature range. The nitrogen cycle according to the aspect 1 of the present invention When the cooling_3' can be supplied in the following two types of operation tanks 35a, the supply amount of lng is large, and 14 1270644 is supplied in parallel with the cold portion of the compressed nitrogen using the first and second LNG heat exchangers 33a and 33e. The hot and cold heat storage passage 34 heats the cold heat of the LNG to the cold heat heat accumulator 34a, and vaporizes the LNG after the heat storage by heating the LNG to 37. On the other hand, when the NG can be supplied from the 35 35 35 35 35 When the LNG supply amount is small, the compressed nitrogen gas is cooled by the cold heat of the LNG supplied from the LNG tank 35a through the LNG pump 3讣 to the cold heat recovery flow path 35, and the LNG which partially or completely gasifies itself is heated up. NG merges with the LNG supplied from the L&NG tank 35a through the LNG pump 35b. It becomes a gas-liquid two-phase grip. Further, by flowing the gas-liquid two-phase flow of the LNG into the cold-heat accumulator 34a, the gas-liquid two-phase flow is liquefied to recover the cold heat, and the cold heat is recovered. The heat is returned to the LNG tank 35a by the heat of the hot parent 33c. In this case, although the cold heat of the nitrogen which adiabatically expands, the cold heat of the liquid nitrogen obtained by the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 can also be utilized. According to the air separation device of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) Even if the demand for NG disappears and is not sent out, the cycle can be circulated by the LNG t and the cold heat recovery flow 3535. The compressed nitrogen gas discharged from the circulation compressor π is cooled. That is, since the operation of the circulation compressor is not required to be conventionally controlled, the operation rate of the air separation device can be improved without stopping the operation of the NG. (2) In addition, even if the amount of use of LNG varies greatly, it is not necessary to design the air separation unit with the minimum amount of use of LNG, so it can be used to effectively use the cold enthalpy of LNG. (3) Furthermore, from the LNG tank 35a is supplied to the cold heat recovery flow path 15 127 0644 LNG recovers the cold heat stored in the cold heat heat accumulator 34a, and is supercooled by the first nitrogen cold heat heat exchanger 33c and sent back to the LNG tank 35a. Therefore, the LNG tank 35a can be controlled by the degree of supercooling of the LNG. The generation of B0G or the liquefaction of B0G in the LNG tank 35a reduces the internal pressure of the LNG tank 35a. Therefore, it is not necessary to discard the BOG in the LNG tank 35a, which is economically advantageous. The cold heat recovery flow path of the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 35, as shown in FIG. 5 of the schematic portion of the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 (deformation example i of the form of the present invention), the LNG in the LNG supply source tank 38a can be supplied to the LNG supply source pump 38b to LNG tank 35a. Further, as shown in Fig. 6 of the schematic system diagram of the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3 (variation 2 of the embodiment of the present invention), the high-purity nitrogen gas of the flow path c can be used as the nitrogen compressor 31 to form a flow path. The high-purity nitrogen gas of D is mixed therein, and is supplied to the recycle compressor 32 through the pre-cooler 33f and the first heat exchanger 33a. Further, depending on the design of the suction temperature of the circulation compressor 32, the precooler 33f is not required. In the air separation device of the second aspect of the present invention, the schematic system of the supporting mechanism is illustrated in Fig. 7 'women's clothing~ mouth wood Zhuming. Moreover, the structure of the shoulder y cooling tank of the air separation device of the present invention is different from the above-mentioned::=:=;_only nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism, so the same: and the same name is used to describe Different points. Inch, the air of the form 2 of the present invention is circulated in the nitrogen circulation flow path 33. The milk/cooling mechanism 3, the reduction machine (booster) 33g, the sigh of the machine is sighed by the machine pressure (10), the exchange ^ 32_ 'And with the benefit of the coffee cooling house, the nitrogen is reduced into a step. The 16 1270644 follows the % turbine press 33g, which is driven by the expansion turbine 33b, and the dust of the dust is reduced by the heat of the heat exchanger 33a, and then the expansion turbine 33b is cooled by the heat exchanger 33a. Come to adiabatic expansion. According to the air separation device of the Benbes type 2, only the circulating turbine pressure is added to the nitrogen circulation flow path 33 of the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3, so that the air separation device of the domain form 1 can be obtained. Equal effect. However, since the hunting is performed by adiabatic expansion of the nitrogen gas of the 6®, the production efficiency of the liquid nitrogen in the nitrogen gas circulation path is improved, and therefore it is superior to the nitrogen circulation flow path of the air separation device of the above aspect i. Further, by providing at least two sets of the Jubilee turbine dust reducer 33g and the expansion turbine 33b, the production efficiency of the liquid nitrogen of the nitrogen helium circulation path μ can be further improved. ~: The air separation apparatus of the third aspect of the present invention will be described with reference to Fig. 8 of a schematic system diagram of the nitrogen circulation cooling branch. Further, the configuration of the raw material air treatment unit, the cold box, and the liquid nitrogen in the air separation device of the present invention is the same as that of the air separation device according to the first aspect, and only the cooling mechanism is different. The same component uses the same name and its difference is described by the same name. ^ 'The nitrogen circulation cooling machine of the air separation device of the third aspect of the present invention is connected between the cycle I of the circulation flow path 33 and the catching circuit of the expansion turbine coffee machine. The circulating cold rolling machine is hunger-supplied with liquid nitrogen or refrigerant, and this cycle = machine 33! The compressed nitrogen in the cold part is merged with the factory-congested nitrogen gas which is heat-exchanged with the first UG, and is expanded by the expansion machine 33b. According to the air separation device of the third embodiment, only the branch flow path 17 1270644 33h (equipped with circulating cooling; East machine 331) is added to the known circulation flow path T of the nitrogen circulation cooling mechanism 3, so that it can be obtained. With the above form! The effect of the air separation unit phase =. Since the flow rate of the nitrogen gas in the circulation compressor 32 is reduced by installing the circulating turbine compressor in the nitrogen cycle 33, the production efficiency of the liquid nitrogen in the nitrogen circulation flow path is superior to that in the above-described form. Breast milk cycle (4): The air separation device of the form '4 of the present invention' is described with reference to the system description chart of the nitrogen cycle cooling. Further, in the form of the present invention, the raw material air treatment unit, the cold box, and the liquid nitrogen of the air separation device of the second embodiment are configured in the same manner as the air separation device of the above-described form 1, and the 虱4% cold heading mechanism is different, so The same component uses the same symbol and its distinct point is described by the same name.

Further, the 'nitrogen circulation flow path 33 is from the circulation compressor 32, passes through the first LNG use heat exchanger 33a, the expansion turbine 33, and the first nitrogen heat exchanger heat exchanger, and the second nitrogen heat recovery heat exchanger core = heat The exchanger coffee, the first LNG uses the heat exchanger coffee, ^ the nitrogen of the H circulation flow path 33 is heat exchanged to 1 ng (gas liquid) up to the suction temperature of the cycle I reduction machine 32, except for the normal temperature, because of the lng ▽: heat flow of the livestock The path of the road 34 and the cold heat recovery flow path 35 is the same as the above-mentioned form j: [the same as the shape of the invention], and the air separation device of the state 4 can obtain the same effect as the air separation device of the 逑-form, i. Can use the usual hanging temperature cycle compressor. In the case of the above, the cold heat recovery flow of the air separation unit is the same as the above, and the LNG pump 35b is supplied from the LNG tank 35a through the heat exchanger 33e and the first LNG. The heat exchange == is connected to the hot and cold heat heater 34a. However, it is also possible to configure, for example, the second LNG use heat exchanger 33e to communicate with the cold and heat accumulator 34a (for example, heat exchange UG to _(10).
