Hi everyone,

I have a 10m³ liquid receiver filled with 4m³ of ammonia liquid and 6m³ of ammonia gas. The liquid receiver internal pressure and temperatura are: 13,5bar(a) and +35°C. I need to lower the liquid receiver internal pressure in order to transfer ammonia from a truck to the liquid receiver. I have a reciprocating compressor that displace 70m³/h to be connected on the liquid receiver and I would like to know if it is ok to achieve an internal pressure of 2bar(a) in the liquid receiver. I also would like to know how many hours the compressor should run to achieve the 2bar(a).

Does anybody may help me?

Regards,

Volnei
