说说我知道的, sorry for typing in English, which allows me to type faster...
ASME PVC S VIII requires all the pressure vessels to be equipped with at least one pressure relief valve (PRV) at design capacity.
API 2000 requires all the atmopheric tanks, if normal venting capacities (in-breathing/out-breathing) are not sufficient, should be equipped with an emergency relief valves (usually for fired relief).
For Positive displacement pumps, PRVs are equipped at the pump discharge end for piping protection. In some cases, internal relief devices are equipped in the pump casing.
For shell and tube heat exchangers, PRVs are usually installed on the shell side if the tube side design pressure is higher than 130% of the shell side design pressure, in the event of tube side rupture (API 521). This is not required for other types of heat exchanger.
For heat exchangers, provisions are usually given for thermal relief on the cold side (hydraulic expansion).
Compressors and blowers are often equipped with PRVs on the discharge side. I think it is for equipment protection but may also be other reasons.
Other cases are mostly for equipment protection, should the design pressure of the downstream equipment is lower than the upstream system. These are usually determined in a case-by-case basis, and are usually brought up during a HAZOP session. |
