What is typically the result of improper alignment of vapor recovery components?

Improper alignment of vapor recovery components generally leads to increased resistance within the system. When the components are not correctly aligned, there can be restrictions in the flow of vapors, resulting in pressure drops or leaks. This situation can also create conditions that allow for vapor loss into the atmosphere, which not only negatively impacts environmental compliance but can also reduce system efficiency and operational effectiveness.

The potential for vapor loss is crucial, as it may lead to regulatory fines and increased operational costs, emphasizing the importance of proper installation and alignment. Proper alignment is essential to ensuring that the system operates optimally, with minimal losses and maximal recovery of vapors.
