GeneralThe requirements for protection against excessive pressure in refrigerating systems and heat pumps are given inEN 378-2. Devices selected in accordance with this standard shall be designed and manufactured in accordancewith prEN 12284:1996, ISO/DIS 4126-1:1995 and prEN ISO 4126-2:1998.NOTE Calculations for flow areas for non-evaporating and evaporating liquids are given in annex B.Calculations for a pressure relief device with the corresponding pipes are given in annex C.6
Pressure relief devices for protection of system components6.1
GeneralCalculations shall be based on known or assumed processes which result in increases in pressure. All foreseeableprocesses shall be considered including those covered in 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4. For the purposes of this standard hvap iscalculated at 1,1 times the set pressure of the pressure relief device.6.2
Excessive pressure caused by heat sources6.2.1
External heat sourcesThe minimum required discharge capacity of the pressure relief device for each pressure vessel shall be determinedby the following: kg/h (1)Qmd
3600×j×AsurfhvapIn this standard j is assumed to be 10 kW/m2 but a higher figure shall be used if necessary.The sizing of the pressure relief device and calculating of pressure loss are carried out in accordance with clause 7.6.2.2
Internal heat sourcesThe minimum required discharge capacity of the pressure relief device for conditions which arise due to an internalsource of excessive heat shall be determined by the following:

Excessive pressure caused by compressorsThe minimum required discharge capacity of the pressure relief device for excessive pressure caused bycompressors shall be determined by the following:
kg/h
(3)Qmd 60×V×n× 10×hvNOTE 1 In cases where discharge shut-off valves are not fitted, a high pressure relief device will suffice,providing there are no intermediate shut-off valves.NOTE 2 Non-positive displacement compressors need not have a pressure relief device providing it is notpossible to exceed the maximum allowable pressure.NOTE 3 Relieving to the low pressure side may cause compressor overheating.NOTE 4 The setting of a compressor pressure limiter will be above the maximum allowable pressure of thesystem and does therefore not serve as protection of the entire system.NOTE 5 prEN 12693:1996 covers compressors which can run against a closed discharge valve.prEN 12693:1996 should, therefore, be considered, especially the requirement covering conditions underwhich the allowable evaporating temperature exceeds the value of 10 °C by more than 5 K.The sizing of the pressure relief device and the calculation of the pressure loss shall be carried out in accordancewith clause 7.6.4
Liquid expansionThe effective area [A × Kdr] of the pressure relief device to protect against excessive pressure caused by theexpansion of trapped liquid shall be at least 0,02 mm2 per litre of trapped volume, except that the minimum diametershall not be less than 1 mm.NOTE The possibility of contamination by dirt should be considered.Where practicable the pressure relief device shall relieve to the low pressure side of the system and the pressurerelief device shall with maximum back pressure meet the following requirements:po £ 1,1 X pset + patm

Discharge capacities of pressure relief devices7.1
GeneralWhen the operational characteristics have been satisfactorily established, it is acceptable to use steam, air or othergas of known characteristics as the fluid for flow characteristics tests except for valves designed for liquid service(see annex B). When discharged quantities are being assessed the valve disc shall be held at the minimum lift asdetermined by the operating characteristics test, see also ISO/DIS 4126-1:1995.7.2
