Description
まず図2を用いて、本発明の液採取運転について説明する。液採取運転では、上述した基本運転と異なり、第1凝縮器13で液化した第1液化窒素は、経路14を通って第1精留塔8の上部に導入されて還流液となるが、その一部を第1液化窒素導出経路15から抜き出し、液化窒素貯槽80に送液される。なお、液採取運転では第1製品窒素ガスにプラスして更に第1液化窒素を採取する分、基本運転と同じ第1製品窒素ガスを採取する場合には、基本運転時よりも原料空気量を増量する必要がある。
次に、図3を用い、本発明の液注入運転について説明する。液注入運転では、上述した基本運転と異なり、膨張タービン24の運転を停止させ、代わりに寒冷源として液化窒素を使用する。この場合、液化窒素貯槽80から液化窒素注入経路72より第2精留塔51上部へ液化窒素を送液する。なお、前述したように、第1精留塔8下部から採取される第1酸素富化液化流体を減圧・気化させ第一酸素富化ガス流体としたものが第2精留塔51に導入されるため、第2精留塔51の運転圧力は第1精留塔8よりも低くなる。このため、第1精留塔8から第1液化窒素導出経路15を通じて液化窒素貯槽80に送液した液化窒素を、液ポンプを使うことなく液化窒素注入経路72から第2精留塔51に導入できる。
表1は基本運転を24時間行った場合と、一日のうち15時間液採取運転、9時間液注入運転を行う液採取運転をメインとした場合との比較を示す。
表2は基本運転を24時間行った場合と、一日のうち10時間液採取運転、14時間液注入運転を行う液注入運転をメインとした場合の比較を示す。
