Does the overflow pipe of the heat transfer oil high-level tank need to remain open at all times?

During operation, does the overflow pipe of the thermal oil surge tank need to remain open at all times? Does the drain pipe of the low-level sump need to remain open continuously?

In my opinion, they all need to be kept running. The function of the high-level tank is to accommodate the volume increase that occurs when the heat transfer oil expands; in case there is an excess amount, it can flow through the overflow pipe to the low-level oil tank, thereby preventing the tank from overfilling; The vent tanks of the low-level oil tanks should also be kept open to maintain positive pressure. However, many companies now require control of organic vapors; direct emission into the atmosphere is not allowed, and a nitrogen seal must be installed
