It needs to provide apparatus foundation beams on the second apparatus 22. Specifically, as shown in
[0039] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. It is also possible to connect the two second apparatus installation beams 14e to the two first inner frame crossbeams 14b by fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), and then fixedly connect the second apparatus 22 to the two second apparatus installation beams 14e by means of fasteners (such as bolt connection fasteners), welding, or the like.

[0053] By applying the modular unit for apparatus installation according to the present disclosure, the supporting installation method of the apparatuses at the bottom layer is reserved, such that the apparatuses at the bottom layer, the pipelines, and the like may be hoisted and transported together with the modular unit, thus meeting the requirements of maximum trial installation, acceptance check and inspection of a module factory. Moreover, the present disclosure applies the technical solution that the crossbeam frame supporting the apparatuses at the bottom layer may be disassembled from the apparatuses at the bottom layer or from the apparatus foundation beams of the apparatuses at the bottom layer, such that the regions where the apparatuses at the bottom layer are located can be provided with space where gases, such as inert gases or hazardous gases, can sufficiently diffuse, and the problem that the inert gases are apt to be deposited on the bottom layer of the frame to cause potential dangers in the prior art can be solved.
