16 PAMPHLET 1 3.7 CONTAINER STORAGE Containers may be stored indoors or outdoors. The storage area should comply with federal and state regulations. If stored outdoors, the storage area should be clean so that accumulated trash or other combustible material does not present a fire hazard. Containers should not be stored near elevators or ventilating systems because dangerous concentrations of gas may spread rapidly if a leak occurs. All containers should be stored to minimize external corrosion. Exposure of containers to flame, intense radiant heat or to steam lines must be avoided. If the metal in the vicinity of the fusible plug reaches approximately 158°F (70°C), the fusible metal plug is designed to melt and chlorine will be released. See CI Pamphlets 17 and 155 (11.1) for more detail on storage considerations. 3.8 CONTAINER USE 3.8.1 General Before connecting or disconnecting a container, the operator should make sure that all safety and emergency equipment is available and operable. Containers and valves must not be modified, altered, or repaired by anyone other than the owner. 3.8.2 Gas Discharge Chlorine gas discharge rates vary significantly because of local ambient temperature, humidity and air circulation, as well as the variations in the piping system and feeding equipment connected to the container. See CI Pamphlet 155 for details (11.1). If the gas discharge rate from a single container will not meet the flow requirements, two or more may be connected to a manifold. Alternately, liquid from one or more containers may be sent to a vaporizer for increasing the chlorine gas delivery rate (see Section 3.8.3). When discharging through a gas manifold, all containers should be at the same temperature to prevent transfer of gas from a warm container to a cool container. 3.8.3 Liquid Discharge Discharging liquid chlorine has special design requirements. See CI Pamphlet 6 (11.1). Liquid chlorine is delivered from the lower valve of a ton container. See the picture of eductor tubes in Figure 3.2. Very high liquid withdrawal rates can be obtained. The rate depends on the temperature of the chlorine in the ton container and on the backpressure. The dependable continuous discharge rate of liquid chlorine under normal temperature conditions and against a pressure of 35 psig (241 kPa gauge) is at least 400 lb/hr (181 kg/hr) for ton containers. When connected to a manifold, ton containers discharging liquid chlorine should include precautions to equalize the pressure.
