Can 20 device storage tanks share one safety valve?
Thread Content
The medium is a viscous medium, a corrosive medium; it tends to self-polymerize, and it contains solid particles
Personally, I don’t think it’s very suitable, haha :P
That’s not possible! Generally, there is one safety valve per tank!
Key question: Can the materials in these over twenty storage tanks be mixed with each other?
Check if the flow rate of the emergency release is sufficient If there’s enough, it’s not impossible.
The safety valve should be installed near the pipeline or equipment that needs pressure relief. If you share one valve, where can it be placed so that it’s close to all 20 storage tanks? Also, the pressure loss from the safety valve inlet to the equipment or pipeline that needs protection must not exceed 3% of the safety valve’s set pressure. Is it possible to meet this requirement if they share one safety valve? So it probably can’t be shared
In practice, it shouldn’t be possible, right? What if there’s a problem with the safety valve? And it seems like the safety valve needs to be inspected annually
No. This medium causes corrosion and polymerization. There are two safety valves on one tank, along with a manual valve; one is used as a backup while the other is in operation, allowing for switching between them during maintenance
passing by； Have you considered adding a set of safety devices, such as valve mechanical interlocks, to solve this problem?
What size are the tanks? Generally, there is one safety valve per tank. This option can be considered if the media is the same, the pressure is identical, and the tank volume is not large; otherwise it’s not feasible. If several tanks develop problems at the same time, the discharge capacity of the safety valves will definitely not be sufficient. Since it is the same tank with the same medium, it is very likely that problems will occur simultaneously.
It seems not possible. If the safety valves activate or there is a leak, how can 20 tanks be detected in a timely manner, unless there are indications on the DSC?
