Fire separation distance for torches
Thread Content
Should the fire separation distance for a torch be determined based on the radiation distance of the flame or in accordance with regulations? This post was last edited by mingyyan on 2009-2-13 09:07.]
The fire separation distance for torches is determined in accordance with the Design Fire Protection Code for Petrochemical Enterprises (GB50160). The height of the torch cylinder must be determined by taking into account the intensity of thermal radiation and the concentration of harmful substances in the combustion gases at the ground level, so as to meet relevant standards.
Generally, the safety protection radius of the flare is calculated based on the flare radiation (for locations with sufficient space)； In areas with limited space, the height of the flare must be determined based on the height of the nearest installed flare unit (of course, still taking radiant heat into account).
