Air separation energy storage modular device
The company has developed an energy storage cryogenic air separation device, including feeding system, purification and regeneration system, heat exchange system, rectification system, energy storage system. Specifically, these systems are successively connected: the feeding system is connected with the heat exchange system; the main heat exchanger is also connected with the energy storage system; the energy storage system comprises a first general oxygen storage tank, a second general oxygen storage tank and a pure oxygen storage tank.
To increase the adjustability of oxygen production, this product sets up pure oxygen storage tank and general oxygen storage tank on the basis of traditional air separation process. It stores the liquid generated by the air separation equipment and carries out heat exchange through the pipeline design and heat flow in the air separation process. It also organically integrates the liquid oxygen storage tank which was originally independent of the air separation device into the air separation equipment. In addition, to reduce the energy consumption of air separation, this product uses an efficient air-water cooling system and is integrated into the cold box together with the purification system to reduce the floor area and construction cost.
