Abstract:

Safety valve in an industry often acts as the primary device to prevent catastrophic failure under pressure conditions. When cryogenic storage is considered, the safety valves used are of first concern as the storage is carried out at very low pressure and high mass flow rate. The commercially available safety valves for outer vacuum jacket cryogenic storage vessel are not compatible with lower pressure range of 1.2 bar. The low pressure safety valves are needed for such low pressure applications. The design of drop off device for low pressure applications has been considered in this project. Modelling and analysis of the design is done and further the creation of a working model of the same followed by testing of the model. Testing of conventional drop off device is also done to ensure the performance of the model created.
