157.Air compressor bursting disc burst

February 15, 2019 Posted by AK No comments

Importance

A bursting disc is a copper disc provided at the air cooler of the compressor. It is a safety disc which bursts when the pressure exceeds over the pre-determined value due to leaky air tubes of the cooler (intercooler or after cooler).




Bursts – action taken

·         Start the stand by compressor.
·         Isolate the compressor whose bursting disc is damaged.
·         Cover the motor of affected air compressor to avoid water falling on it.
·         Fresh water cooled, then join a flexible hose  and put into the expansion tank
