Emergency Vents
Emergency vents protect an internal fuel tank from being over-pressurised. It allows the tank to release the pressure and ensure safety in the event of a fire. In other words, emergency vents are pressure releasing devices preventing the tank from being ruptured due to over pressurising.
If a fire takes place near a flammable liquid storage tank, the heat passed on by the tank wall to its contents will cause vaporisation of the liquid inside. If the tank holds petroleum-based products, the expected vaporisation is about 30 or more cubic feet for every gallon of solvent. This act is bound to create a relatively high pressure within the tank, and if there’s no emergency vent available, the tank may rupture, leading to a disaster.
Such explosions can be avoided by having an emergency relief vent to allow the vapours to escape from the tank. Most emergency vents feature pallet assemblies that stay close under normal pressure and open when a predetermined pressure is reached. This relieves the abnormal volume of vapour created in case of fire conditions.
Emergency vents are essential to be installed in tanks storing flammable substances. At Ekotech, we stock and supply a range of emergency vents to meet the varying needs of fire-rated tanks.
