| Abstract |
A blow-down system for the prevention of explosion propagation in chemical reactors comprises separate cooling systems for the liquid and vapour phases. A cooling system for the vapour phase was tested in model experiments with 2 mixtures of methanol, nitrogen, and water or refrigerant R113, nitrogen and water at different conditions. The vapour phase carried the cooling agent on its way to a mixing nozzle where intense heat exchange caused the gas to condense. Installation of the condensation vessel inside the blow-down system renders the method suitable for a wide variety of conditions. |
