• The atmosphere consists of approximately 78% nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen

(O2) and 1% argon (Ar).

• Several industries require pure nitrogen, oxygen or argon for their

production processes.

• Cryogenic Air Separation is the process that enables the separation of

these compounds.

• It filters dust and moisture from the air.

• Several compressor stages and heat exchangers increase the pressure of

the filtered air, resulting in liquid air.

• After the last stage, the liquid air moves to a distillation column.

• Liquid nitrogen exits at the top of the distillation column, whilst the liquid

oxygen and argon come out at the bottom.

• The now maximally compacted substanced may then be transported to the

customer.

• If the customer whishes to evaporate the fluids, for example into gas

required for a production process, he will need heat exchangers, which we

supply.

Challenge / question

• To what degree are we able to supply

high-quality air coolers and heat

exchangers required for Cryogenic Air

Separation?

• Our Solution

• After every stage, our air coolers further

cool the hot and humid air with cooling

water.

• We individually design them, tailored to

all requirements, and we provide a

discharge for the condensate, resulting

from the cooling, ie selfdraining by

gravitation.

Air Separation Units Case

Absorption or Air Separation Units refrigeration?

Refrigerant condenser or evaporator? You choose.

Our Solution

• Our heat exchangers evaporate fluids

using water from the surroundings.

• However, this type of cooling could

cause water to freeze to the sides of

the tubes.

• Our special design ensures that this

does not damage the heat exchangers.

• Also, they are manufactured from

stainless steel so that they are cold-

resistant.

• The tube diameter is extra large in

order to avoid the tubes freezing up

since water expands when it is

freezes.

• High temperature differences cause a

large amount of tension in the tube

heads.

• As gaskets may leak, we use high-

quality welding for the entire head.
