Release of Chlorine form 1 ton container(s)
(OP)
I'm looking for a video that show what it looks like when a valve is not functional(broken) and the tonner is allowed to totally evacuate. I've seen a video clip a number of years ago but I'm not able to relocate a copy.
Secondly, has anyone calulated how long it would take for a tonner to empty considering it is at 500kpa to start with and a valve is opened wide open?
Could it empty in 15 minutes?
Thanks 5wp

as far as the calc, i have not. Surely you have the knowledge and skills to conduct an analysis yourself.

You might try http://www.chlorineinstitute.org/ as a starting point.
Good Luck.

I've just finished talking to a rep from the Chlorine Institute, but no luck.
Thanks anyway

If you would be satisfied with an answer that is perhaps within plus or minus 15%, then:
1-- Go to this website: www.air-dispersion.com/source.html
2-- Select either metric units or USA units. Then select "Gas Discharge From Pressure Source"
3-- There you will find the equation for calculating the choked flow rate (mass per second) for the accidental discharge of a pressurized gas. That will be the instantaneous initial flow rate.
4-- The final flow rate as the cylinder empties will be zero. Thus, the average flow rate (mass per second) will be the initial flow rate divided by two. This assumes that the flow rate will linear as the cylinder empties ... which is not true. Therefore, the answer may have an error of about 15%.

I'll pursue this web site and do some number crunching.

The Chlorine is liquid but is drawn off as gas in this case. The application
is in a water plant.
