In a vapor recovery balance system, where is the liquid removal device pick-up located?

In a vapor recovery balance system, the liquid removal device is strategically located at the bottom of the hose loop. This position is crucial for effectively managing the liquid that may accumulate during fuel delivery. When the nozzle spout is inserted into the vehicle's fill pipe, any liquid fuel that is recovered from the vehicle's fill pipe can flow downward through the hose and into the liquid removal device.

By having the pick-up in this position, it ensures that the system can efficiently recover any liquid hydrocarbons, preventing them from escaping into the atmosphere. This design helps maintain system pressure and increases the overall efficiency of vapor recovery. The bottom location facilitates the gravity flow of liquid back into the storage tank, ensuring that the liquid does not linger within the hose, which could lead to operational issues or contamination of the vapor recovery system.

This functionality is central to how vapor recovery systems operate, and placing the liquid removal device at the bottom maximizes recovery effectiveness during fuel dispensing.
