At what pressure does a rupture disk recovery vessel for low-pressure refrigerant relieve?

The rupture disk recovery vessel for low-pressure refrigerants is designed to relieve pressure at a specific threshold to ensure safety and prevent overpressure conditions that could lead to equipment failure or leaks. The correct pressure for this type of vessel to relieve is typically set at 15 psig. This pressure level is standard for safety devices in low-pressure refrigerant systems, allowing for controlled release of refrigerant before reaching critical pressure levels that could pose a risk to the system or the environment.

The design and calibration of these safety devices are crucial in adhering to regulatory standards and ensuring the safe operation of refrigeration systems. By relieving pressure at 15 psig, the vessel helps maintain safe operating conditions while minimizing potential hazards associated with overpressure scenarios.
