I-Cryogenicukuhlukana komoyakuyinqubo ebucayi embonini yegesi yezimboni neyezokwelapha. Kubandakanya ukuhlukanisa umoya ezingxenyeni zawo eziyinhloko - i-nitrogen, umoya-mpilo ne-argon - ngokuwupholisa emazingeni okushisa aphansi kakhulu. Le nqubo ibalulekile ekukhiqizeni amagesi ahlanzekile anezinhlobonhlobo zezicelo, kusukela ezinqubweni zezokwelapha kuya kwezimboni.
Isinyathelo sokuqalaukuhlukaniswa komoya we-cryogenicuwukucindezela umkhathi ukwandisa umfutho wawo. Umoya ocindezelwe ube usudluliswa ochungechungeni lwezihlungi ukuze kukhishwe ukungcola okunjengothuli, umswakama kanye nesikhutha. Ngemva kokuba umoya usuhlanziwe, ungena ku-cryogenic air separation unit lapho uthola khona izinqubo zokupholisa kanye ne-liquefaction.
Umoya upholiswa endaweni yokushisa emazingeni okushisa angaphansi kuka -300°F (-184°C), lapho ujiya khona ube uketshezi. Umoya owuketshezi ube usufakwa kukholamu yokuhluza lapho uphinde upholiswe futhi uhlukaniswe izingxenye zawo eziyinhloko ngokusekelwe kumaphuzu ahlukene abilayo. I-nitrogen, enephuzu eliphansi lokubilisa kune-oxygen ne-argon, iyahwamuka kuqala futhi ikhishwe njengegesi. Uketshezi olusele, olunothe nge-oxygen ne-argon, lube selushiselwa, okwenza umoya-mpilo uhwamuke futhi ukhishwe njengegesi. I-argon-rich rich residual liquid nayo iyashiswa, futhi i-argon ixoshwa njengegesi.
Amagesi ahlukanisiwe abe esehlanzwa futhi afakwe uketshezi ukuze akhiqize i-nitrogen, umoya-mpilo kanye ne-argon ehlanzekile. Lawa magesi anezinhlelo eziningi ezisetshenziswayo, okuhlanganisa ukwelapha komoyampilo wezokwelapha, ukwakhiwa kwensimbi, ukulondolozwa kokudla kanye nokukhiqiza izinto zikagesi.
Ukuhlukaniswa komoya we-Cryogeniciyinqubo eyinkimbinkimbi futhi edinga amandla amaningi, kodwa idlala indima ebalulekile ekunikezeni amagesi ahlanzekile adingwa izimboni ezihlukahlukene. Njengoba ubuchwepheshe buqhubeka nokuthuthuka, ukusebenza kahle nokusimama kwenqubo yokuhlukanisa umoya we-cryogenic kuyaqhubeka nokuba ngcono, okwenza kube yingxenye ebalulekile yezimboni zesimanje zezimboni nezegesi yezokwelapha.
