Hi Bryan, Here is a classic example of not having zero energy. This guy was going to clean a screen on a line that normally runs around 80 degrees. The screen is on the suction of a centrifugal pump. The screen plugged up, causing the pump to cavitate and heat up tremendously. He shut off the pump (which allowed the discharge line to back feed into the pump), closed the suction valve and the discharge valve. The liquid that had back flowed began to boil creating pressure on the isolated area where the screen was located. There were bleeders on both sides of the screen, which he failed to open. When he loosened the lid on the screen, it blew out covering his hands and forearms with boiling hot liquid. This was outside in the winter so he was wearing gloves and a winter coat (luckily). He recovered 100% and learned an important lesson the hard way. Zero energy means ZERO ENERGY! Keep the Faith Brother p.s. Please make this anonymous. It’s worth the visibility if it keeps someone else from getting hurt like this. Feel free to resize these. |
