Abstract: The method serves for producing a horizontal through flow adsorber with two adsorbents which contains two immediately adjacent packings in a horizontal or vertical container. Between the two packings there is a vertical interface. In a step (a) a vertical dividing wall is positioned on the bottom of the adsorption bed and then on each side of the dividing wall one of the two adsorbents is charged up to a first height that does not exceed the upper edge of the separating ring. In the following step (b) the vertical dividing wall is displaced upwardly until the lower edge thereof is still placed in the existing packing. Then, on each side of the dividing wall one of the two adsorbents is charged up to a second height that does not exceed the upper edge of the displaced dividing wall. Finally, step (b) is repeated until a predetermined filling height is achieved. According to the invention, the vertical dividing wall is composed of at least three dividing wall modules (6.

Abstract: A heat exchanger having at least one heat exchanger block (1) and an insulating vessel which surrounds the heat exchanger, is provided with plates and joints for securing the heat exchanger block (1) suspended in the insulation vessel. In addition, the heat exchanger block (1) is arranged movably in the insulation vessel.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adsorber station with a first adsorber (A) and a second adsorber (B). A first closed loop pipeline (1) is connected to the adsorbers (A, B) and is provided with product gas feed line valves (4A, 4B) and regeneration gas discharge line valves (6A, 6B). A second closed loop pipeline (2) that is connected to the adsorbers (A, B) has product gas discharge line valves (7A, 7B) and regeneration gas feed line valves (8A, 8B).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an installation for implementing a method for cryogenic air separation, whereby at least one constituent of the air used is obtained as a product by means of a selected method variant. Said installation comprises at least one coldbox in which a module is arranged. The invention is characterized in that several classes are predefined, each class determining the dimensions of the coldbox pertaining thereto, and the coldbox of each class being large enough to hold the module for at least two different product quantity requirements and/or at least two different method variants. A coldbox of a certain class is selected and the module is arranged in the coldbox of said selected class.

Abstract: The invention relates to a low temperature air fractionation system comprising several modules consisting of at least one heat exchange unit, a pressure column and a low pressure column, in addition to the accessories belonging to the respective modules and at least two cold-boxes, wherein the module and/or the accessories are arranged. The invention is characterized in that at least one of the cold-boxes is embodied in the form of a main box and at least one of the cold-boxes is embodied in the form of a secondary box. The secondary box contains at least one module and the accessories of the module disposed in the secondary box are mainly located in the main box.
