Used for cooling the discharge of the compressor, lowering the temperature of the compressed gas, facilitating the next stage of compression.
Gas Separation
Industrial gases like nitrogen (N2), oxygen (O2), argon (Ar), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are primarily sourced from air separation using cryogenic distillation in an air separation unit (ASU). Mass production doesn't cool air directly via adiabatic expansion due to limited work output and lower liquefaction temperatures increasing system volume.Instead, the compression process is key: intake air is first pressurized by a compressor (driven by a steam turbine) to several tenths of MPa. A booster compressor further compresses part of this air to higher pressure levels (several MPa) before expansion. This step is critical for thermal efficiency and gas liquefaction.

Gas Separation Solutions
Shen's technology provides thermal management solutions for gas separation. The compressor intercooler and air separation cooler developed by Shen's Technology have small volume and high heat exchange efficiency, which effectively reduces the temperature rise caused by gas compression and improves the gas separation efficiency.
