The oxygen side of the fully submerged main condensation evaporator in the oxygen tower is equipped with a level gauge; is the liquid level on the nitrogen side of the condenser similar to that on the oxygen side?
Ah, I’m not quite sure. Although I’m not an expert in process engineering, it seems that the medium used for primary cooling and heat exchange is gaseous nitrogen. After nitrogen condenses into a liquid state, it flows along the sides of the heat exchanger and into the collection tank. Is it really necessary to use a level gauge for this?
That’s right, it’s to find out what the approximate liquid level is when gaseous nitrogen is cooled down
Personal opinion； I think the liquid level on the cold oxygen side can indirectly reflect the liquid level on the nitrogen side.
It’s basically sufficient for the liquid to cover the pipe opening and ensure a proper liquid seal. Think about it: if there is a liquid level on the liquid nitrogen side, then the heat exchange area of the main cooler will be reduced~~
