Engine load , unloading

Figure 29.4 An unloading pocket reduces engine load and volumetric capacity.

Fig. 3-7 Examples are shown of elasticity changes for engineering TPs involving one cycle of loading and unloading. The curves show effects of stress and time under load and strain recovery after loading.

Initiate, as a standard practice, a policy to give all new loading and unloading applications a safety review. Include engineers and operators in this review. 

Locations where flammable liquids are loaded or unloaded should have adequate fire protection. A water spray system operated manually and automatically is the most economical and best for most materials. Where water supply is inadequate or unavailable, a dry chemical system can be engineered. Ultraviolet ray detectors are recommended for speed of operation and automatic discharge of the agent.
