Is it necessary to install a safety valve at the outlet of the heat transfer oil pipeline in the reactor jacket?
Thread Content
The original design called for a safety valve to be installed at the outlet of the heat transfer oil pipeline in the reactor jacket, but I don’t think there’s any possibility of overpressure; if such a valve is needed, it should be installed in the heat transfer oil furnace room. Could you tell me the reason?
Prevent blockages in the jacket from causing overpressure
Our heat transfer oil pipelines do indeed have safety valves! !
1. The heat transfer oil is circulated by forced circulation, and a safety valve is installed on the return pipeline to prevent blockages that could lead to overpressure. Excessive overpressure may cause the reactor vessel to rupture, and it is very dangerous if high-temperature heat transfer oil enters the vessel, resulting in the material inside boiling violently. 2. In the case of a high-pressure reactor, this setup prevents the high-pressure material inside the vessel from leaking into the heat transfer oil system in the event of damage to the vessel walls, thus avoiding similar risks

It turns out it’s to prevent overpressure caused by clogged oil pipes
