Storage and transportation fluids

Gentlemen, what happens when high-pressure liquid (without gas) suddenly enters a low-pressure environment?
Have you heard of a flash tank? Or a Freon evaporator? It’s that effect – high-pressure liquid instantly flashes into vapor.
It depends on the properties of this material; it may vaporize or may be sprayed out
Will normal-temperature water at 10Mpag flowing into a pressure-normal water tank flash and vaporize?
First of all, thank you. At normal temperature and high pressure, for example, when a liquid enters a storage tank after passing through a pump, where does the head pressure go?
It just doesn’t work. Have you seen a high-pressure washer? The high-pressure water ejected can be instantly vaporized by steam, and once it is vaporized, the pressure head is lost.
I learned it; I remember that for an ideal gas, PV=nRT. I forgot about ideal liquids
It depends on the saturated vapor pressure of the liquid: if the vapor pressure is high, it will vaporize at normal pressure to turn into a gas; if the saturated vapor pressure is low, it will be ejected, as in the case of water
