Propane container issue
Thread Content
Everyone, I have never worked on propane containers before. We now have a unit that requires propane as a refrigerant. When designing the container, is there any difference in the classification of such containers compared to those used for other refrigerants? Propane is a flammable and explosive substance, but it is not toxic. Should we classify it in a higher category and assign it to category 3 containers? Please, experts, give me some advice! Thank you!
Why isn’t anyone replying? Have none of us encountered such a problem?
The classification of container categories can be determined based on the \"Container Regulations\"! Basic requirements: Design temperature of 50 degrees, design pressure of 1.77 MPa! Plus the volume!
It’s undoubtedly the three types of containers, right? . .
This requires the division into high-pressure areas and low-pressure areas; components such as oil separators, oil coolers, condensers, and evaporators in the low-pressure area fall into category two, while the high-pressure liquid storage tank (siphon tank) and liquid storage tanks belong to category three
