The function of a Rupture Disc is to protect against accidental overpressure
of a pressure vessel due to system malfunction or fire. A
Rupture Disc is generally used in combination with a Henry
Technologies Pressure Relief Valve.
A Rupture Disc protects against any leakage or weeping of refrigerant
through a relief valve. A rupture disc can also be used in combination with a
pressure gauge and/or pressure switch to detect if a relief valve has
discharged.
Henry Technologies Rupture Discs are designed to operate with gases and
should not be used to prevent liquid over-pressure.
