Why is a safety valve installed at the inlet of the heat exchanger tube side?
For small safety valves, thermal expansion conditions are generally taken into account; for larger ones, leakage on the high-pressure side may need to be considered. Additionally, it is necessary to check whether there are any other high-pressure areas in the process flow that are part of the same system as the heat exchanger, as well as to consider the possibility of blockages in certain areas
A safety valve, as the name implies, is used to prevent overpressure. It is installed at the inlet to prevent blockages in the tubes of the heat exchanger; as the material inside the heat exchanger continues to be heated, it vaporizes and its volume increases sharply, which can lead to overpressure and damage to the equipment

Installing safety valves on the heat exchanger pipelines is in accordance with GB standards
