“II. Primary release sources: Sources that are expected to release substances on a periodic basis or occasionally during normal operation. Cases similar to the following can be classified as first-level release sources: 1. Seals of pumps, compressors, valves, etc., which release flammable substances during normal operation ; 2. During normal operation, flammable substances are released into the space; the drainage system installed on containers holding flammable liquids ; 3. Sampling points that release flammable substances into space during normal operation. III. Secondary release sources: Sources that are not expected to release under normal operation, and if they do release, it is only on an occasional and short-term basis. Cases similar to the following can be classified as second-level release sources: 1. Seals of pumps, compressors, and valves that should not release flammable substances during normal operation ; 2. Flanges, connectors, and pipe joints that cannot release flammable materials during normal operation ; 3. At normal operation, at safety valves, exhaust ports, and other openings that should not release flammable substances into the space ; 4. Sampling points from which flammable substances cannot be released into space during normal operation. ” ----------------------- The above is the original text. What I want to ask is: under the same normal operating conditions, why do some devices release flammable substances while others do not?
The former refers to the case of dynamic sealing, while the latter is static sealing.
