Can a breather valve and a safety valve be vented through the same pipe?
Thread Content
Can the breather valves and safety valves on different tanks be connected to a single pipe for venting? What is the reason?
“Can the vent valves and safety valves on different tanks be connected to a single pipe for drainage? ——It’s not very clear. Do two sets of tubes share one safety valve or exhaust valve? In reality, this still needs to be calculated; as long as the diameter of the inlet pipe is large enough, the pressure drop is low enough, and the opening size of the safety valve or vent valve is sufficient, there will be no problems. If the safety valve and the inlet of the exhalation valve are prone to blockage, it is best to install them as independently as possible at as low a position as possible relative to the tank.
Are the breather valve and safety valve connected to the same pipe? The safety valve requires strict control over pressure drop; if you connect a breather valve in front of it, it will significantly affect the pressure drop, so that probably won’t work
A breather valve and a vent valve cannot be on the same pipe. Because a breather valve is a valve capable of withstanding positive and negative pressures (within a limited range); metaphorically speaking, it functions like breathing. But the relief valve can only discharge.
They are two separate container devices, each connected to a common pipe for draining
Oh, doesn’t the breathing valve have a function for exhalation only? When the safety valve releases pressure, no gas can get in through the breathing valve either
If there is no issue with the back pressure (for example, will the activation of the safety valve prevent the single-exhale valve from opening? I haven’t calculated it specifically, so I’m not sure), but it should be possible
The safety department here says it’s not possible and asks me to make changes
Safety valves are used to release pressure; the two types of valves serve different purposes. Won’t using a tube cause a loss of functionality? It’s not reliable; this method won’t work
There are safety risks; in the case of organic solvent storage tanks, condensation can easily form in the vent pipes of the breather valves, and this condensation may drip down onto the safety valves, potentially causing them to fail
