Case 14 - Exterior fire
As per Basis/Methodology item 7, heat input from a fire case to be considered to a height of
7.6m above grade.
At this stage 1620-D-002A dimensions are not fixed. Bed information is available from vendor (ref 2). Bed height is
stated as 7.6m, but vessel height will be larger.
Assume skirt height of 0.5m therefore use unwetted vertical height = 7.1m. From Ref 2, bed diameter = 3.3m. Use this
as reactor internal diameter.
During a fire case heat input will be transferred to ROG and bed. To simplify calculation assume heat transfer only to
gas. Also assume negligible release of material adsorbed on bed during fire.
NOTE:
PSV inlet and outlet line sizing will be done during detailed design.
Time to vessel failure is not part of this calculation, this will be done during detailed design.

Notes:
1. Hydraulic expansion in blocked in piping (API-521 7th Ed, para 5.14.4) is not covered by the above
which assumes no equipment / piping expansion.
2. Conversion factors entered into the equations for determining the relief area are different from those stated in API 520
due to the units used for pressure and flow being barg and m3/s instead of kPag and litres/min respectively.
3. Kw is 1.0 for conventional pattern relief valves.

GUIDELINE FOR THE SPREADSHEET 'VESSFIRE.XLS'
DEPRESSURING VALVE
The spreadsheet can be used to simulate the effect of a pressure relief valve or a depressuriing valve depending upon
the value of the blowdown. Note that blowdown is defined as the difference between the set pressure and the reseat
pressure of a pressure relief valve expressed as a percentage of the set pressure. Hence if the set pressure is 100%
and the reseat pressure is 93% then the blowdown is 7%. Therefore setting the blowdown at say 99% would ensure
that once lifted the pressure relief valvewould not reseat thus simulating a depressuring valve.

Reviewing the sensitivity of the variation in physical properties, only the thermal conductivity has an impact.
Both types of insulation are specified for fire rating / shell temperature parameters, typically 2 hours / 350C
although calculations tend to be conservative.
For intumescent paint, the applied coating will swell up to 5 times, with a typical coating thickness of 8mm.
The emissivity value is typically 0.4 for stainless steel and 0.6 for steel sheet.
GAS PROPERTIES
A drop down box only allows selection of Methane / Ethane / Propane / Air.
These are automatically corrected for temperature, but not for pressure.
The effect of pressure on the gas properties results in less than 1% change in failure time.
FLAME PROPERTIES
Use a flame temperature of 1094 C (2000 F) / emissivity of 0.3 where adequate drainage and fire fighting equipment exist.
- this is the normal case for plant fires and gives a heat rate of approximately 21000 Btu/h ft2 in agreement with
API RP 521 5th edition Jan 2007 [5.15.12.2 and 5.15.2.2.1]
Use flame temperature of 1284 C (2343 F) / emissivity of 0.3 where adequate drainage and fire fighting equipment do not exist.
- this is for remote locations and gives a heat rate of approximately 34500 Btu/h ft2 in agreement with
API RP 521 5th edition Jan 2007 [5.15.1.2.2 and 5.15.2.2.1]
The area factor is the fraction of the surface area receiving radiation from the fire, conservatively assumed to be 1
INITIAL VALUES
The initial shell temperature should and is assumed to be the same as the initial gas temperature
The initial insulation temperature is taken as the average of ambient and the initial gas temperature
The initial interval time is set lower than the incremental interval time as the initial temperature differences are large
and could give errors. The programming automatically uses a value of 1/5th of the working time interval

REVERSE FLOW THROUGH CHECK VALVES - FAILURE TO RESEAT
Note:
1. Spreadsheet determines the reverse flowrate, and hence relief rate, for two check valves in series using the
method described in API 521, 5th Edition, January 2007 (10% of pipe NB)
2. Upstream and downstream pressures are the high and low pressure sides of the check valves respectively
3. Qualified against ROcalc ver 1.00.xls

BURST TUBE CALCULATIONS : GUIDANCE NOTES
LP SIDE PRESSURE
API-5215th Edition 2007 para 5.19.2
Allows pressure to rise to test pressure for a remote contingency.
BS-5500 : 2006 para 3.13.2
States that pressure shall not exceed 110% of the design pressure (except that for more than 1 PSV,
the additional valves may be set at 105% of design pressure).
The test pressure is is 125% of the design pressure (corrected for test temperature)
ASME VIII 2007 UG-125 (c)
Limits accumulation to 10% except in the case of fire relief when this can be 121%
Hydrostatic test limited to 130% MAWP (Design Pressure)
SS&W APPROACH
Burst tube relief is considered a remote contingency.
Although all codes limit the overpressure to less than the test pressure, the practice of remote contingency, as
stated in API-521, and allowing the accumualtion to rise to the test pressure is widely used, both amongst contractors
and owners. The current SS&W practice is to continue with this approach to allow the accunulation to rise to the test
pressure for remote contingency.
Therefore the LP side design pressure is set at the HP side Design pressure / 1.3 (ASME VIII) or 1.25 (BS-5500 / PED)
SPREADSHEET
For HP fluid into LP liquid (with no flashing of HP liquid or vaporisation of LP liquid), account may be taken of the
normal LP liquid outflow, the justification being that LP liquid inflow will quickly stop as the LP pressure rises, but
momentum will continue to maintain outflow. There may be an acceleration of the outflow, but this is ignored.
As HP fluid escapes into LP side then LP fluid will initially be relieved, followed by HP fluid as the LP fluid inventory
is displaced. If the LP fluid relief can be sustained for more than a few seconds then this too shall be taken into account
when sizing the relief valve.
PSV sizes for liquid are uncorrected for back pressure and indicative only
Spreadsheet, as set up, uses a single orifice plus a tube length. If the project requires the flow through two orifices
instead, then the spreadsheet will have to be modified.
The tube length is entered automatically into linesize ver 3.3 to determine the pressure drop; the actual flowrate for the
available pressure drop is determined by trial and error, using Excel goalseek function.
Add 1 entrance loss and 1 exit loss to fittings table
NON-FLASHING HP LIQUID
If the HP liquid flashes use the two phase spreadsheet.
If the HP liquid causes flashing in the LP liquid then the relief rate must be calculated independently of this spreadsheet.
HP VAPOUR FLOW
Consider possibility of LP side liquid vaporisation and relief.
If the LP liquid can be vaporised by the HP vapour then the relief load must be calculated independently of this
spreadsheet. The HP vapour flowrate will be correct.
Determine k (ratio of specific heats) at standard conditions
TWO-PHASE FLOW
To determine the properties for this calculation, simulate a flash from P1 to P2 and the critical pressure.
If the downstream pressure < critical pressure then the leak rate will be calculated on the critical pressure
If the downstream pressure > critical pressure then the leak rate will be calculated on the downstream pressure
The calculation is based upon the choked / non-choked equations uaed for vapour, but using average homogenous
physical properties
ie If P2 > Pcrit then physical properties are based upon
(Homogenous properties @ P1 + Homogenous properties @ P2)
and 2
If P2 < Pcrit then physical properties are based upon
(Homogenous properties @ P1 + Homogenous properties @ Pcrit)
2

1) Although ASME VIII limits pressure to no more than 100% of the MAWP, API-RP-521 allows for pressures up to the hydrotest pressure.
The hydrotest pressure for ASME VIII is normally 130% of the Design pressure and includes temperature correction.
The hydrotest pressure for BS 5500 is normally 125% of the Design pressure
If checking the piping rather than the exchanger then note that the hydrotest pressure is 150% of the Design Pressure for piping
to ASME/ANSI B31.3.
2) As tube burst occurs at operating temperature the temperature adjustment ratio is not included in the above decision chart.
3) If Pressure Relief Valve installed for other relief cases e.g. Fire, Thermal Expansion.
4) If Trip valves and NRV's have been installed then this will prevent contamination of the low pressure system.
