Hi,
I'm looking at the pressure requirements for a new liquid ring vacuum pump system and I noticed that the existing one has an 'Administrative Process Control Procedure' (APCP) valve to the vent header to prevent overpressure.
The only recognised case of overpressure is by external fire (6 barg rated system with a volume of 90 litres).
My question is, when is the use of an APCP valve acceptable? as I'm struggling to find any information on their use over a bursting disc/SV set-up?
Any advice is much appreciated.
