As shown in the figure, why does the gas phase extracted from the top of the tower take a turn?

As shown in the figure, what is the purpose of making this turn? The styrene plant – is it there to protect against air flow impacts and act as a buffer, or what is its purpose? I’m so confused
Afraid of thermal expansion, I guess? It functions similarly to an expansion joint.
It’s due to the piping; expansion bends do play a certain role, but not a very significant one. Personally, I prefer welding the pipe fittings and avoiding platforms···
It should be stress bending, but I don’t think it’s significant; it’s most likely due to the piping
What is the operating temperature for the bent tower?
As can be seen from the diagram, the vapor pipe of one tower has no bend. It is assumed that bending is influenced by the manufacturing process, in order to address thermal stress or gas-liquid impact.
The piping is incorrect, which forces this tower to be installed in this way. Do other towers have such a piping pattern? Identification completed~~
