Question:

Heat exchanger releif system?

This is a homework question. My teacher mixes personal experience with a textbook and the text doesn't cover this info. The question pertains to, i'm given a process and have to determine where necessary releif valves are needed. I know a heat exchanger can have some problems, but is a relief system genearlly attached directly to a heat exchanger? In this particular case. THe tube side goes directly to the process at atmospheric temp and the shell side is a considerably higher pressure. Feels like if anything, the pressure would nto build in the exchanger...any help though would be appreciable.

Answer:

nicely u see, its extremely uncomplicated, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, and that's how warmth is extracted from the domicile during the cooling technique.
your water heater, pressure cooker and car radiator all have pressure relief valves. Put one anywhere a malfunction of say, a pump, could allow the flow to stop and pressure to build in excess of the pipes rated limits......
