PRV size ref pressure ex cooling of vacuum

PRV size ref pressure ex cooling of vacuum

PRV size ref pressure ex cooling of vacuum

(OP)
Hi

We have a 18m3 7bar/full vac rated vessel that has a spring PRV of set pressure 125 psi and 175 l/min rated discharge.

What I need advice on is calculating required discharge rate i.e. is our PRV correct.

Material is introduced into the vessel via vacuum. The main problem comes from the two streams we have, one is vac'ed material that is ambient temperature, the other is vac'ed at ~150 deg c.

I need to check who the pressure will alter as the material cools and can the PRV cope?
