Moderate pressures of 0.24 bar acting on large surfaces in liquid cargo tanks are sufficient to cause
damage and rupture. The pressure on each unit of area multiplied by the total area gives a large
loading on the underside of the top of a tank or other surface, which may then buckle or the metal
plate may be torn. Similarly, pressure drop within a tank can cause damage due to greater
atmospheric pressure on the outside.

Pressure / vacuum valves in the ventilation system will prevent either over or under pressure. They
are set usually so that tank pressure of about 0.14 bar will lift the main valve (The smaller valve will lift
along with it) and release excess pressure. The vapour passes to atmosphere through a gauze flame
trap. Drop in tank pressure compared with that of the outside atmosphere will make the small valve
open downwards to equalize internal pressure with that outside.
Pressure vacuum valves can relieve moderate changes in tank pressure due to variations in
temperature and vapour quantity. A drop towards vacuum conditions as the result of the
condensation of steam will also be handled by the valve. Rapid pressure rise due to an explosion
would not be relieved.
The fast rate at which a tank is filled while loading produces a very rapid expulsion of the previous

Between periodic boiler cleaning the gas surfaces of the boiler tubes should be kept as clean as

practicable. To facilitate this, soot blowers, steam or air operated, are often fitted. They enable the
tube surfaces to be cleaned of loose sooty deposits rapidly without shut down of the boiler.
Figure below shows a typical soot blower arrangement fitted to a Scotch type boiler.
Working
With steam supplied to the blower and the steam supply line thoroughly drained. Rotation of the
blower hand wheel causes the supply tube and nozzle to move towards the combustion chamber.
Nozzle and tube are rotated as they move inwards by means of a scroll cut in the nut and a stationary

pin A in the body assembly that runs in the scroll. Ports in the tube communicate the steam supply
line with the nozzle.
The arrangement enables rotating, fine, high pressure jets of steam to be discharged to the tube
plate over a considerable area.
When not in use, the retractable nozzle of the blower is well within the housing tube and is therefore
protected from overheating, which could cause burning and distortion of the nozzle.
Too frequent use of the blower should be avoided as this could cause wastage of the tube plate. It is
advisable to operate the blower regularly even if the boiler tubes are clean (in this case without steam
supply to the blower) to ensure the blower unit is free and in operable order.
