How to calculate the oxygen output during normal production
Thread Content
We are at a capacity of 30,000 units at Sichuan Air Force. Under normal operation, the guide vanes of the air compressors are set at around 67%, with an inlet flow rate of 150,000 units; the flow rate entering the tower is approximately 140,000 units. The valve used to fill the liquid oxygen storage tank is open at around 10%. That’s about it. According to the flow meters, the oxygen production volume is slightly over 20,000 units. But I’m not sure how this is calculated or what its relationship is with the load. Please advise.
Firstly, the question posed by LZ is a bit vague. If one wants to choose the extraction rate, that’s simple. But if one is asking about the unit load, or the steam consumption of the turbine, or the overall energy consumption of the unit, the calculation methods for these are different. I hope LZ can ask more specific questions!
Air flow into the tower, extraction rate, oxygen production – for a 2-push-1 system, it’s hard to say what the load will be; it depends on the performance curve of the machine
Continuing from above, there is also the purity of oxygen.
