PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING SOLIDS FROM A PRESSURIZED CONTAINER

摘要

The container communicates through an outlet, which is adapted to be closed with a lock chamber, which is adapted to be emptied and is provided with a pressure-relief valve. When it is desired to empty the lock chamber the volume which is available in the lock chamber for the gas is initially increased so that the pressure in the lock chamber is reduced. Thereafter the lock chamber is opened.
