Problem with the installation location of the blast disc
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: there are no available flange connections at the top of the reactor, and I want to install a burst disc on it. How can this problem be solved?
A tee can be installed on the existing vent, and a burst disc can be added to the auxiliary line.
Is it possible to install a tee on the pipe leading to the condenser?
No, this will affect the discharge of the blast disc
Why not? The discharge volume is related to the diameter of the rupture disc; if it’s not sufficient, the diameter should be increased
He leads to the condenser; it’s not possible to ensure that the condenser has such a discharge capacity at the same time.
{:3_49:} You two are on different pages here. As long as your pressure relief valve is designed properly, there should be no issues with the amount of gas released. The exhaust gas definitely cannot go through the condenser; if it gets clogged in the condenser, it doesn’t matter whether you install a pressure relief valve or not. Your pressure relief valve needs to have its own separate pressure release line, and it should be installed as close as possible to your pressure vessel. . .
No, it is not possible to install a tee on the pipe leading to the condenser. (Could your vapor phase cause condensation to occur over time and adhere to the explosion-proof valve, resulting in inaccurate pressure release by that valve?) ）
A vent should be equipped with a separate vent membrane; it is recommended to use tees for other openings. The vent should be installed as a separate port on the tank. Why isn’t there such a port? Safety first
Why can’t it be installed in front of the condenser? It’s a single pressure system without any shut-off valves in between; consider that the design pressure of the condenser’s shell side is similar to that of the equipment. The distance from the equipment to the blast disc and the pressure drop are still feasible, right?

Of course, if the original kettle was not manufactured with a port for a safety valve, it’s impossible to add a burst disc – there is no suitable spot where it can be installed – so you have to decide based on the actual conditions on site. The medium does not get clogged or scale-covered, and the flow rate at the outlet is sufficient; it doesn’t really matter where it is installed.
