Why is an explosion vent installed on the crankcase of a reciprocating compressor with a packing seal?

In horizontal reciprocating compressors with packing seals, nitrogen is used to fill the packing in order to carry away any leaking gases; then why is an explosion-proof valve installed on the crankcase? What is its purpose? Thank you! ! !

Explosion-proof valve? Don’t our reciprocating compressors have that? Are there any pictures?

Without a diagram, I can’t quite figure it out either.

How can there be overpressure? If the cylinder packing leaks and the nitrogen is carried away along with it, where does the pressure come from?
