The design intent of having the pressure vessel safety valve piping extend all the way to the bottom of the vessel

In a high-pressure flash tank, the pipeline connecting the top safety valve extends from the top of the container all the way to its conical bottom. What is the purpose of such a design?
In a high-pressure flash tank, the pipe connecting the top safety valve extends from the top of the container all the way to its conical bottom; this is likely to facilitate the observation of when the safety valve activates or to make it easier to replace the safety valve. But generally, it’s not designed this way...
Hello, what I mean is that the extended pipe is inside the container, passes through the head, and is connected to the safety valve
The goal is the same; I’ve also encountered situations where users asked for this...
But adding this pipe inside the container has nothing to do with making it easier to replace the safety valve or to observe when it activates.
The safety valve should ensure communication with the upper gas phase space...
In a high-pressure flash tank, the pipeline connecting to the top safety valve extends from the top of the container all the way to its conical bottom. Is the safety valve located at the top of the container? There shouldn’t be any reason to do this.
Such a design seems to ensure connectivity with the liquid phase at the bottom of the high-pressure flash tank, but it doesn’t make much sense
Could it be the liquid pressure relief valve, intended to release pressure quickly?
With such a design, only liquid is released under pressure and then enters the flare tower, which doesn’t seem very appropriate. What is the intended purpose of this design?
The intended purpose is unknown, but assuming it’s a liquid that is released, it would likely have vaporized by the time it reaches the flare
