Summary: | PURPOSE: A cryogenic reflux condenser system for producing oxygen enriched air is provided to improve efficiency compared to conventional reflux condenser systems, and to effectively produce lower purity nitrogen. CONSTITUTION: A method for producing oxygen-enriched air comprises: (A) dividing feed air into a first portion comprising from 25 to 45 percent of the feed air and into a second portion comprising from 55 to 75 percent of the feed air; (B) passing the first portion of the feed air through a first regenerator wherein first portion is cooled and cleaned of high boiling impurities, and passing the second portion of the feed air through a second regenerator wherein second portion is cooled and cleaned of high boiling impurities; (C) passing the cooled and cleaned first and second portions of the feed air into and up the condensing side of a reflux condenser having a condensing side and a vaporizing side and condensing a portion of upwardly flowing feed air to form a first vapor portion and a first liquid portion; (D) passing the first liquid portion into and down the vaporizing side of the reflux condenser and vaporizing a portion of downward flowing first liquid portion to form a second vapor portion and a second liquid portion; and (E) vaporizing second liquid portion and recovering the resulting vaporized second liquid portion as product oxygen-enriched air.
