Atmospheric storage tank vent size
Thread Content
There is currently a storage tank at atmospheric pressure with a volume of 130 m3. It is often subjected to heating and cooling processes while empty. In the previous process, the temperature of the empty tank was 95°C, after which it was cooled using spray water at a temperature of 20°C. In such cases, if the diameter of the breather opening is too small, it can cause the tank to collapse. I am not aware of any detailed methods or calculations for this issue; I would appreciate some guidance. Thank you!
The rate of temperature drop is calculated using the gas equation.
