The flame arrester is led outside the shed
Thread Content
Hello everyone, there is a question: There are several solvent oil storage tanks in a shed, and each tank is equipped with a flame arrester. Now, it is necessary to lead each of these flame arresters to a high point outside the shed, which results in very long pipelines. I would like to ask what factors should be taken into consideration when leading them outside? If the pipe that connects the flame arrester to the tank top is very long, will it affect the operation of the flame arrester? Thank you!
I want to know how a flame arrester works in normal operation Could you tell me about it?
For example, if a fire breaks out inside the tank, the flame arrester prevents the flames from spreading outside and affecting other facilities. If a fire occurs outside, the flame arrester stops the flames from spreading inward. In short, it’s about isolating the source of fire from the medium.
There are specified requirements for the installation of flame arresters; they must be above the roof, I think by about 3 meters
