As shown in the figure, what are the differences between the tank exhaust positions, and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each?
Recently, I noticed that the valve assemblies of the liquid oxygen tanks on site are all located at the bottom of the tanks, while the pipes connecting to the top of the tanks run inside the tanks. Think of it this way: the reason is to keep the pipeline at a low temperature; walking outside would absorb heat and cause a loss of cold energy.
The former should be preferred as it facilitates the observation of the liquid seal level； The latter liquid seal is placed at a high position, which not only hinders observation but also, as the temperature drops, if negative pressure develops inside the tank, the liquid seal medium may flow into the tank.
It was actually your question that inspired my thinking; before answering it, I did not have a proper understanding of piping systems like liquid oxygen tanks. Such an answer suddenly came to mind while answering your question. ———-It’s part of the reason; that’s correct. What does mutual learning* mean? It’s important to be able to ask questions; much of my work experience, as well as the knowledge I’ve acquired through my work, can be attributed to questions posed by my colleagues.
