Vortex Breakers
Vortex Breakers
(OP)
For vessels or tanks that have an outlet on the side, near the bottom tangent, isn't there still a possibility of vortexing when the liquid level is low-even if the liquid leaves from the side? Wouldn't a vortex breaker be good for an application where there isn't a pump, but a control valve on the vessel outlet?





RE: Vortex Breakers
But it is also bad piping practice to put a control valve directly on a tank or vessel.
Reasonable and prudent piping (and process system)design includes an evaluation of control valve function. Upstream pressures must be specified and maintained.
My opinion only...

I fail to realize and appreciate that is is justified/ Beneficial in any way!
to add on 'Pressure drop increasing' components in any suction pipeline segments?
Please guide.
