The pressurized & compressed hot gas that passes out of the compressor, is fed in the Cascade Cooler. The Cascade cooler is made of two elliptical compartments with pipe coil in each compartment interconnected with each other. The pipe coils are partly submerged in water in the vessel.
The Primary function of the Cascade Cooler is to bring down the temperature of the compressed gas, for removing moisture. The dry Nitrogen coming from the Air Separation Unit bubbles through the water & gets moisturized. The latent heat thus produced results in reducing the temperature of water. This in turn helps the pipe caring hot air to cool to about 200C.
