【Q&A Question 324】December 08, 2017: What is the purpose of installing a safety valve on equipment? During the production process, for various reasons, the pressure in the equipment can increase to such an extent that it leads to overheating and overpressure, which may result in the equipment exploding. Therefore, safety valves are installed on the equipment; when the pressure reaches a certain level, these valves open automatically to release pressure and prevent it from rising any further, thus avoiding explosions and protecting the equipment. (Unless otherwise specified, all questions and answers are based on hydrogenation units.) ) For management purposes, if you need to view content from a few days ago, please go through the summary post below. 2017 Q&A Summary Thread (updates starting now) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657793-1-1.html 2017 Daily Question Summary Thread (updates starting now) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1657794-1-1.html 2017 Daily Image Summary Thread https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1875160 2017 LNG Version Daily Question List https://bbs.hcbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1804162 2016 Q&A Summary Thread (updates completed) http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-1597792-1-1.html
Protect the safety of the equipment, preventing damage to it due to overpressure and avoiding safety incidents. Release pressure in a timely manner to protect the equipment.
When the pressure in the pipeline or equipment rises to the set pressure value of the safety valve, it opens automatically to release pressure and protect the equipment
When the operating pressure of the medium exceeds the allowable value, the safety valve opens automatically to release the medium. As the pressure of the medium decreases, the safety valve closes again, thereby preventing the risk of overpressure in the pipes and equipment.
During the production process, for various reasons, the pressure in the equipment can increase to such an extent that it leads to overheating and overpressure, which may result in the equipment exploding. Therefore, safety valves are installed on the equipment; when the pressure reaches a certain level, these valves open automatically to release pressure and prevent it from rising any further, thus avoiding explosions and protecting the equipment.
During the production process, for some reason, when the pressure inside the equipment exceeds its allowable operating pressure, it can easily lead to damage to the equipment. To this end, a safety valve is installed on the equipment; when the pressure rises to its set value, it opens automatically to release pressure, thereby protecting the equipment from damage.
