propane psi danger
So I've been running a propane heavy blend lately. Not used to the high psi's and not loving them (typically 120, as high as 150). I use 4' columns and have a 12' honey pot that I shoot over to. Can anyone tell me at what psi I should start panicking? Any need to change any equipment to accommodate the higher pressures (seals, hoses, etc?)?For sure I'm going to change the pressure release valves from the current 150 psi to 250 psi if anyone knows a good/cheap place to get them. Any insight towards safety in case I'm overlooking anything would be greatly appreciated.

What temperature are you running at? That seems pretty high to me, we run 50/50 blend and never really see over 50-60 psi on the collection.

I don't recommend changing the pressure reliefs to 250F.

The clamp is only rated for 150 psi. It would fail before the PRV released.

Is 120 -150F a safe operating range in the columns? Should I change the pressure relief valves on them? Thank you in advance? |
