Application: Limiting air loss in an air line off a central compressor if any line is ruptured.
Where In Process?: Near air compressors.
Why Flow Rate is Critical?: If the line ruptures, other plants or sections in the plant are not shut down due to lack of air.
What Alternatives Were Considered: None, new application.
Main Reasons for Choosing Kates: Low pressure drop until rupture occurs. The Kates also acts as a perfect limiter.
