Prevent leaks in the high-pressure heat exchange tubes, which could cause the outer cylinder of the low-pressure heat exchanger to burst and lead to safety accidents； It plays a role in ensuring safe production.

It is likely that a rupture in the heat exchange tubes is the issue; leaks in ordinary heat exchange tubes do not cause the pressure in the circulating water pipes to rise significantly, as the diameter of these pipes is large, so even minor leaks do not result in a substantial increase in pressure. Furthermore, it is accompanied by a higher temperature of the circulating air at the coolant outlet, an increase in the pH value of the circulating water, and in severe cases, an ammonia smell. This rupture disc is installed to prevent sudden rupture of the heat exchange tubes in the water cooler, which could lead to a large amount of circulating gas escaping, as well as expansion of the low-pressure circulating water system and thereby a sharp rise in pressure on the water side. Blowout valves are installed to allow for the timely discharge of water that is displaced due to the rupture of the heat exchange tubes, as well as large amounts of gas that leak out. The water cooler designed earlier was equipped only with a shut-off valve to prevent the circulation water from being cut off, as well as a safety valve installed to prevent overpressure in the equipment due to the thermal expansion of the circulation water; it did not have any rupture disks. It can only be said that this situation exists in theory; nothing happens by chance. By strengthening the sampling and analysis of the circulating water, it should be possible to prevent such situations from occurring, and thus there would be no need to install this rupture disc.
