    The document provides calculations to size a pressure safety valve (PSV) for a LOX cryogenic vessel. It determines: [1] The flow through the PSV will be critical based on pressure criteria; [2] The required orifice area of 101.914 sq mm (0.15797 sq in) based on a flow rate of 410 kg/hr; [3] The selected PSV should have an orifice size of 0.196 sq in, designation E, and inlet/outlet sizes of 1" x 2".

    STEP 1: DETERMINATION OF CRITICAL / SUBCRITICAL FLOW OF PSV

    Nomenclature:

    PSP Set Pressure (kPa) = 220 kpag = 321.33 kPaa


    PO Over Pressure (kPa) = 10% of PSP = 22.00 kpa
    PRP Relieving Pressure (kPa) = 242.00 kpag = 343.3250 kPaa
    PCF Pressure at Critical Flow (kPa)
    PB Back Pressure (kPa) = 101.30 kPaa
    P Operating Pressure (kPa) = 220.00 kPaa
    T Operating Temperature (K) = 77.15 K
    k Sp.heat Ratio = 1.219

    Sizing Formulae:

    PO = 10% of PSP
    PRP = PSP +PO
    PCF/PRP = [2/k+1]k/k-1

    Calculation:

    PSP = 321.33 kPaa

    Blocked Case is considered. Therefore:

    PRP = 343.325 kPa

    P = 220.000 kPa

    T = -196.000 deg C

    From API - 520 ( Part - 1) Checking whether flow is critical / subcritical

    PCF = 193 kPa

    As PCF ≥ PB (Critical / Subcritical Flow Criterion)

    Flow is Critical

    Nomenclature:

    A Required effective discharge area of the device, sq.in [sq.mm]


    W Required flow through the device, lb/Hr [kg/hr]
    C Coefficient determined from an expression of the ratio of the specific 345
    heats(k=CP/CV) of the gas or vapor at inlet relieving conditions.

    Kd Effective coefficient of discharge. For preliminary sizing, use the 0.975


    following values.
    = 0.975 when a pressure relief values is installed with or without a
    rupture disk in combination.
    = 0.62 when a pressure relief values is not installed and
    sizing is for a rupture disk in accordance with 3.11.1.2. of
    API 520 - 1

    PRP Upstream relieving pressure, psia [kPaa]. This is the set pressure 343.33
    plus the allowable overpressure plus atmospheric pressure.

    Kb Capacity correction factor due to back pressure. This can be 1

    preliminary sizing from Fig.30. The back pressure correction factor
    applies to balanced bellows valves only.

    Kc upstream of the pressure relief valve (see 3.11.2).e pressure relief
    valve (see 3.11.2).

    = 1.0 when a rupture disk is not installed,


    = 0.9 when a rupture disk is installed in combination with a pressure
    relief valve and the combination dose not have a published valve

    A = 13160W/CKdPRPKbKc*sqrt(TZ/M)

    Calculation:

    Flow Rate W = 410.00 kg/hr

    Area A = 101.914 sq.mm 0.15797 sq.in

    As per API 526

    Selected Orifice Size = 0.196 sq.in


    Selected Orifice Designation = E
    Selected Inlet and Outlet sizes = 1" X 2"
