Zusammenfassung:Method for separating air by cryogenic distillation in an air separation device comprising a system of columns, a first turbine and a second turbine, wherein, in de-icing operation, a common duct bringing air from the two turbines to a column is closed by means of an isolation valve, a purge gas is sent to the turbines at a temperature above 0° C. in order to de-ice them, but purge gas is not sent to the system of columns.
