How to achieve sealed discharge of the vessel vent in a reciprocating hydrogen compressor?
Simply connect the exhaust outlet to the flare system
Check whether the vent is between the packing and the intermediate packing, or between the oil skimmer ring and the intermediate packing; the vent from the first option can be directly routed to the flare, while the vent from the second option goes to a higher point
There is a concern that high pressure from the torch could backflow into the crankcase, contaminating the lubricating oil.
There is a concern that high pressure from the torch could backflow into the crankcase, contaminating the lubricating oil. There is still a hydrogen sulfide smell when venting directly.
Given the current new environmental requirements of keeping oil on the ground and gases from reaching the atmosphere, it is recommended to use a venting method for medium-pressure systems: for gaseous substances, direct discharge into a flare stack, with a check valve and another valve installed at the outlet； Liquid phase: Sent to the flare trap tank, with a valve added in between. Add a check valve and a valve to the top of the torch tank)
Just put a torch there and add a one-way valve
