Italian term or phrase: scaricare in/a torcia
Un caso particolare è rappresentato dalle valvole di controllo e ON/OFF che ***scaricano in torcia*** liquidi criogenici e con una grossa perdita di carico a cavallo. In questo caso si ha la flash istantaneo del liquido perciò occorre limitare i salti di pressione suddividendo il salto di pressione totale in più salti in modo da limitare il flash e anche la velocità in uscita.

La tendenza ad aumentare le velocità dei fluidi allo ***scarico a torcia*** è dettata dalla riduzione dei diametri degli scarichi a torcia.

deliver (or release) to a torch


Explanation:
the control valves and ON/OFF [controls], which deliver (or release) cryogenic liquids to a torch.
(The torch is where certain of the liquids, plus possibly other materials, are disposed of by burning off.)

(Incidentally, the scarichi are evidently the pipes which carry materials to the torch.)

(In petroleum engineering, this kind of burning off is called "flaring".)

Better alternative (after much delay): deliver to a flare, release to a flare.
(My mind was not working well at first.)
