laagdrukbeveiliging

Laagdrukbeveiliging is a safety concept primarily used in industrial settings, particularly in gas and oil processing, to prevent accidents caused by excessively low pressure. It involves a system designed to detect and respond to situations where pressure drops below a predetermined safe operational limit. The primary goal is to avoid phenomena like vacuum formation, which can lead to equipment implosion, ingress of unwanted substances, or improper functioning of critical components.

When a laagdrukbeveiliging system detects a pressure drop below the set point, it typically initiates a shutdown sequence or activates an alarm. This response can involve closing valves to isolate the affected equipment, venting excess pressure, or engaging other safety measures to bring the system back to a stable and safe condition. The specific design and implementation of laagdrukbeveiliging vary depending on the application, the type of equipment being protected, and the potential hazards associated with low-pressure conditions. Regular testing and maintenance are crucial to ensure the reliability and effectiveness of these safety systems.
