Abstract (en)
The installation is of the double column type (5), comprising a first column (6) for nitrogen/oxygen separation, fed with the air to be treated, and a second column (7) for nitrogen/hydrogen separation, the head of which is coupled to the chamber of the first column via an evaporator/condenser (10), and which includes a chamber evaporator (11), and a nitrogen cooling circuit (12) whose high-pressure part feeds the chamber evaporator (11) of the second column (7), then this second column itself. The installation furthermore comprises means (10; 10A) for condensing the nitrogen in the high-pressure circuit by vapourising liquid in the tank of the first column (6). <IMAGE>

L'installation est du type à double colonne (5) comprenant une première colonne (6) de séparation azote/oxygène alimentée par l'air à traiter, et une seconde colonne (7) de séparation azote/hydrogène dont la tête est couplée à la cuve de la première colonne par un vaporiseur-condenseur (10) et qui comporte un vaporiseur de cuve (11), et un cycle frigorifique à azote (12) dont la partie haute pression alimente le vaporiseur de cuve (11) de la seconde colonne (7) puis cette seconde colonne elle-même. L'installation comprend en outre des moyens (10; 10A) pour condenser de l'azote de cycle haute pression par vaporisation de liquide de cuve de la première colonne (6). <IMAGE>
