There is a storage tank with an operating pressure of 3 Kpa; how should the operating pressure for the vent valve be determined? How is the design pressure of storage tanks determined? Thank you all, guys!
I’m showing off my skills in front of an expert; the breathing valve model can be used in combination with this setup, and the operating pressure can be set at 3 kPa, as long as the back pressure remains positive. The pressure in the storage tank is determined based on the properties of the process medium and the requirements of the process. In your case, it’s a tank that operates at atmospheric pressure
For the process engineering team, it’s fine to set a high or low design pressure for this tank; if the tank is very large, then a design pressure should be determined in consultation with the equipment engineering team, as this affects the manufacturing cost of the tank.
