Gas Chlorine Cylinder Withdrawal Rate
Whether a gas chlorine container can physically deliver the feed rate: a 150-lb cylinder tops out near 40 lb/day and a 1-ton container near 400 lb/day at ~70 F, derated in a colder room. Pull gas faster and the container frosts over and the rate collapses -- a latent-heat ceiling no bigger regulator beats. Returns the containers to manifold and a frost warning.
Formula and source
per_container = base(type) x temperature-derate (base ~40 lb/day cylinder, ~400 lb/day ton at ~70 F); containers = ceil(feed_rate / per_container).
Gas chlorine container withdrawal rate (The Chlorine Institute; state operator training), by name.
