Abstract

In a method for separating air by separation at sub-ambient temperature, a first heat pump (31), using the magnetocaloric effect, exchanges heat between a cold source at sub-ambient temperature and a hot source at sub-ambient temperature, thus contributing at least a portion of the separation energy, and a second heat pump (21), using the magnetocaloric effect, exchanges heat between a cold source (15) at sub-ambient temperature and a hot source at ambient temperature, thus contributing at least a portion of the cold required to maintain the cold balance of the method, the separation taking place in a single column (19) at a pressure of less than 2 bar.
