2017 Photo of the Week #4 (The power of a vacuum)
We seem always hear about catastrophic accidents when a pressure vessel fails outwardly, but let us not forget that a vacuum in a vessel NOT RATE for a vacuum can ruin a $200,000 vessel just as easy - maybe not as fast - but certainly just as easy!! Case in point... what happens when you have a valve in your vent line and someone for some reason closes it! I am a big fan of "car-seal" programs and any valve in a relief line, BOTH positive pressure and vacuum relief, MUST BE CAR-SEALED OPEN. The cost of replacing this vessel will be a fraction of the cost and risk the unit will incur shutting to replace it. |
