The design of the dangerous source Air Compressor:
The outlet pressure of the Air Compressor must be higher than the oxygen pressure in the low pressure column.
When the gaseous oxygen production process is used, the product oxygen Air Compressor is usually used to increase the product oxygen pressure.
The two basic types of Air Compressor are centrifugal and reciprocating.
Air Compressor is a potential source of danger for the following reasons
Due to the nature of the Air Compressor,
Air Compressor contains high-pressure, high-purity oxygen
The materials required for the assembly of Air Compressor are flammable in oxygen
All moving parts of Air Compressor can cause frictional ignition source
The possibility of particle contamination (welding slag, rust particles, dust, sandblasting residue, etc.) can never be completely eliminated, especially after new installations and major repairs.
In some areas of the Air Compressor, the high-speed (350 m/s) flow of gas means that particle collisions are a potential source of fire.
