A heat transfer oil is used in the jacket of the reaction kettle; why is a safety valve installed on the return oil pipeline? There shouldn’t be any possibility of overpressure in the heat transfer oil, unless there is a leak inside the jacket and some material enters the heat transfer oil, causing it to vaporize and leading to a surge in pressure. In such a case, is it sufficient to rely only on the safety valve installed on the reactor?

It seems that there were no safety valves in the past, but they are available now. Installing safety valves is definitely a good thing, as it helps prevent situations where pressure gets out of control

It is to prevent materials from entering the heat transfer oil and causing vaporization, which would lead to a surge in pressure.

It is installed in cases where the inlet and outlet valves of the equipment close accidentally, and when the heated equipment may release heat, in order to protect the pipelines and equipment from breaking due to thermal expansion

It mainly prevents the pipelines from expanding and breaking in case of abnormalities in the oil circuit pipelines

Is it the thermal expansion of the heat transfer oil when it just starts operating? Is it possible?

Agree with what was said on the 4th floor; this situation can occur under certain conditions

How is this safety valve calculated? 、

Preventing leakage from the reactor into the jacket should be
