Why are small holes made in the feed pipe of the reflux tank
Thread Content
The material taken from the top of our distillation tower enters the condenser; after condensation, it goes into the reflux tank. The problem is to make a small hole in the return trough pipe. The tower is at slightly positive pressure. Please explain the function of a small hole.
Avoid fluid accumulation. Especially during parking for maintenance.
It is to facilitate the discharge of steam condensate

That’s one reason, I guess! But I think there might be other reasons as well; if the level of the reflux tank drops below the opening, it can cause fluctuations in the pressure at the top of the distillation tower! And why is that again!
The level of the reflux tank drops below the opening; since the material in the reflux pipe may not fill it completely, there is space that allows for pressure release, which in turn causes fluctuations in the pressure at the top of the distillation tower.
How to relieve the pressure? Who is going to do it?
Breaking the vacuum. Isn’t this view really very new? These small holes must be installed on the upper liquid inlet pipes of combustible material storage tanks. To break the vacuum and prevent backflow or something like that.
Break the siphon; what was said upstairs is correct~
Could you make a diagram to explain it? Hehe, the requirements are a bit high; I’m rather dull! I hope for your understanding, thank you! !
