What happens if the pressure inside the receiver exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations?

When the pressure inside the receiver exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations, it poses a significant safety hazard. The primary concern is the risk of explosion. The systems are designed with specific tolerances for pressure, and exceeding these limits can lead to catastrophic failure of the receiver. This can occur due to the extreme forces exerted on the vessel walls when pressured beyond designed specifications. An explosion can result in severe consequences, including injury to personnel and damage to surrounding property.

While systems often include safety mechanisms such as automatic shut-offs or pressure relief valves to mitigate these risks, if those systems fail or are compromised, the chance of an explosion increases significantly. Thus, adherence to the manufacturer's pressure recommendations is crucial for maintaining operational safety and the integrity of the equipment.
