FREEZING OUT MOISTURE AND CARBON DIOXIDE IN TUBULAR HEAT EXCHANGERS

Abstract

One of the methods of removing moisture and carbon dioxide from technological air flows is the freezing of these impurities in reversing heat exchanger-freezers serving simultaneously for cooling the air and heating the products of separation. When designing freezers their thermal regime, design, and dimensions should be determined which guarantee the prescribed content of the frozen component at the outlet from the device for the prescribed duration of its operation up to clogging or switching. In the past, research on freezing has been conducted under various conditions which led, in most cases, to contradictory results and did not yield sufficient grounds for a true solution of the industrial problem. The results of an experimental investigation of certain fundamental questions connected with the operation of moisture and carbon dioxide freezers in air separators is reported.
