Pressure Relief Valves
Pressure Relief Valves
(OP)
Somewhere in code, I know I've seen it, there is a section on recommended practices for installation of Pressure Relief Valves. It recommends a certain height for relieving hot liquids and steam/condensate so that when it reaches ground level it no longer is hot enough to cause a safety hazard. Can anyone help me locate this or give me the rules of thumb?
I seem to remember that from 160-180*F the relieving heigh was somewhere around 22-24 feet. I'm looking at relieving 150*F liquid.
