Abstract (en)

[origin: DE19543953C1] An insert air conduit (1,3) introduces compressed and cleaned insert air into the pressure column (4). A first fluid fraction conduit (5) connects the lower area of the pressure column with the low pressure column (7). A second fluid fraction conduit (8) connects the upper or central area of the pressure column with the low pressure column. A condenser-evaporator (12) has its evaporation chamber connected via a third fluid fraction conduit (17) with the lower area of the low pressure column. Its condensation chamber (10,11) is connected to the upper area of the pressure column. A vapour conduit (22,24,26,27) is provided between the evaporation chamber of the condenser-evaporator and the pressure column. The distillation process efficiently separates oxygen and nitrogen.
