Liquid in the separator tank of the new hydrogen compressor for hydrogenation?

2021-06-09View Original

Thread Content

The new hydrogen compressor for hydrogenation features three stages of compression. Recently, there has been a serious issue of liquid accumulation in the third-stage liquid separation tank, and this liquid is mostly water. Why isn’t there any liquid accumulation in the first and second stages, while it only occurs in the third stage?

For a three-stage compressor, is there still a cooler and a liquid separation tank after the third-stage exhaust? Generally, it’s just that the exhaust gas goes straight out after stage 3 treatment, without any cooler or liquid separation tank.

A liquid separation tank and a water cooler are installed before entering the third-stage compression

I’m not sure what the three-stage pressure is for your new hydrogen compressor; I’m wondering whether to check for leaks in the water cooler

A leak in the outlet heat exchanger can be directly determined by whether there are bubbles in the circulating water return sight glass. If free water appears in the outlet buffer tank while the machine is running continuously, it should be shut down for inspection.

The liquid leakage is severe because the oil injector’s third-stage cylinder injects oil too quickly; according to the instructions, 7–8 drops per minute should be sufficient

It’s possible that the cooling water in the cylinder jacket is leaking, causing internal corrosion

Yeah, is he talking about that small separation tank with a nitrogen seal?

Whether it is hydrogen from reformation or hydrogen from a hydrogen production unit – consider the source of the hydrogen
