Temperature control of acetylene gas entering the compressor
Thread Content
What is the typical temperature of acetylene gas before it enters the compressor in your processes? What methods are used to clean and cool the acetylene gas? ! !
The temperature of acetylene gas entering the compressor is determined by the process requirements of the compressor
We use cooling towers or condensers to reduce the temperature when it’s below 45 degrees
Our company uses water towers and cooling towers for temperature reduction. At the same time, cooling facilitates the use of sodium hypochlorite to remove impurity gases such as sulfur and phosphorus!
In our plant, the temperature of acetylene gas after passing through the cooling tower is no more than 35°C; if the temperature is too high, it reduces the gas delivery capacity of the booster pump. As for cooling and purifying the acetylene gas, the cooling tower mentioned above is generally used for this purpose. In fact, both the sludge washer and the normal water seal can serve to cool the gas and provide preliminary purification. The purification of acetylene gas relies mainly on hyposodium and sodium hydroxide
Generally, it can be fed into the acetylene compressor once it is cooled below 50 degrees; the used sodium waste is cooled in a cooling tower； To achieve cleanliness, sodium hypochlorite and caustic soda are generally sufficient.
For acetylene compressors, the process conditions vary depending on the model. What those upstairs mentioned are water ring compressors, such as Nasim units.
The newly launched chlor-alkali projects basically all use Nazim boosters from Zibo
The spray cooling towers we use... also employ inferior sodium hydroxide... but the storage tanks for this inferior sodium hydroxide used by us are smaller in size; sometimes, adjustments made to the scrubber tower can affect the cooling towers.
Oh. The temperature is usually below 40 degrees. This is because the gas comes out of the compressor and enters the scrubber tower, and hyposodium cannot exceed 40 degrees; otherwise it tends to decompose, posing a safety risk
