Spreadsheet Calculation Philosophy The spreadsheet is intended to allow a designer who is concerned with thermal expansion overpressure to specify an appropriately sized relief valve area. Thermal expansion from three different causes are considered: 1) Heat input from ambient air 2) Heat input from solar radiation 3) Heat input from fire The emergency relief designer should decide which cases are realistic (could high ambient temps, solar radiation, and a fire all occur at once - the designer should decide. Input Instructions Input all data in light green fields. Calculation Philosophy / Limitations The spreadsheet is set-up to calculate the required area assuming mixed phase (vapor and liquid) relief. The follows the methodology outline in the GPSA Manual. The steps used are: 1) Determine the amount of heat input into the system. 2) Determine relief rate required 3) Determine how much of the material flashes 4) Calculate the orifice area required to relieve the liquid 5) Calculate the orifice area required to relieve the gas 6) Sum the total areas calculated for liquid and vapor to obtain the total required surface area. To determine the amount of flashing, isenthalpic expansion is assumed (conservative assumption) and all vapor formed is in the valve.

Filosofa Del Clculo De la Hoja de balance La hoja de balance se piensa para permitir a un diseador que se refiera a la sobrepresin de la extensin termal para especificar un rea apropiadamente clasificada de la vlvula de descarga. La extensin termal a partir de tres diversas causas se considera: 1) el calor entr ambiente del aire 2) el calor entr solar de la radiacin 3) el calor entr del fuego El diseador de la relevacin de la emergencia debe decidir qu casos son realistas (podran los temps arriba ambiente, radiacin solar, y un fuego todo ocurre inmediatamente - el diseador debe decidir. Instrucciones De la Entrada de informacin Entre todos los datos en campos verdes ligeros. Filosofa / Limitaciones Del Clculo La hoja de balance set-up para calcular la relevacin mezclada requerida de la fase el asumir del rea (vapor y lquido). Sigue el contorno de la metodologa en el manual de GPSA. Los pasos de progresin usados son: 1) determina la cantidad de calor entrada en el sistema. 2) determina la tarifa de la relevacin requerida 3) se determina cunto materiales de los flashes 4) calcula el rea del orificio requerida para relevar el lquido 5) calcula el rea del orificio requerida para relevar el gas 6) suma las reas totales calculadas para que el lquido y el vapor obtengan el rea superficial requerida total. Para determinar la cantidad de contellear, la extensin isenthalpic se asume que (asuncin conservadora) y todo el vapor formado est en la vlvula.
