Relief Valve on Chilled Water System???
Relief Valve on Chilled Water System???
(OP)
I am looking at some drawings that show a Pressure Relief Valve on a chilled water system. The valve is on the water line leaving the chiller, and no further information is given on its size or rating. Is this common? I don't recall ever seeing a PRV on chilled water. If so, any idea on how to size it?

Without any additional info, its usually safe to size the PSV for the full flow possible in that pipe when flowing at its max operating pressure and temperature.

Relief valves for chilled water systems are relatively cheap. Weigh that cost against the potential damage from a blown gasket in an unoccupied area, over a weekend.
