PSV for Heat Exchagner Tubes Failure
PSV for Heat Exchagner Tubes Failure
(OP)
Hi everyone,
Is there a direct formula to calculate the required orifice area of a safety valve only with the following parameters?
- Cross-sectional area of the heat exchangers tubes
- Maximum allowable low side pressure (in that case, the shell)
- Maximum allowable high side pressure (tubes)
If not, please, tell me the best way to calculate it.
Thanks in advance.

wrt. to the flow rate: Consider the area*2 (two end and choked flow across the opening.
