There is a reason why this “spring loaded-CLOSED” safety valve is called a “dead-man” valve, but trying to kill yourself with anhydrous ammonia is not it!  The things that get shared in my Process Safety courses… someone thought this was a good idea and someone else thought it was even a better idea to snap a pic of this and share it on social media.

NOTE: this is on a Mechanical Refrigeration process using Anhydrous Ammonia.
