12 Attachment C: Recommended Substantiation for Revision
13 Substantiation: This proposed change to NFPA 59 aims to correct a deficiency in the sizing method for nonrefrigerated container relief devices. Jim Stannard raised the concern in Committee Inputs 57, 58, and 59 that the current relief valve sizing method, which was added in the 1953 edition, uses a fixed value for the latent heat of vaporization of the product. The committee statement associated with CIs 57, 58, and 59 says, The 1953 caclulation, which is still in effect in the most recent editions of both NFPA 58 and NFPA 59 is based upon a total heat input Q: Q=34,500A 0.82 Btu/hr. The heat flux value of 34,500 Btu/ft 2 -hr is also adopted in several NFPA codes and standards with some modification for larger vessels. The calculations that led to the adoption of CFM air=53.632a 0.82 in the 1953 edition were apparently based upon a single value for the latent heat of vaporization ( h) regardless of either pressure or composition. (i.e. butane or propane) The latent heat of vaporization used in the equation from the 1953 edition was L=110 Btu/lb, which is the latent heat of vaporization for saturated propane at 300 psig. Using this same value for lower relieving pressures is conservative, because the latent heat of vaporization increases with decreasing pressure, which in turn lowers the relieving flow rate needed. However, if the relief valve has a relieving pressure greater than 300 psig, using the same value for L would result in undersized relief valves. Similarly, the latent heat of vaporization of butane is always less than that of propane at the same conditions, so using the same value of L=110 Btu/lb would result in undersized relief valves. The proposed change to section addresses this issue by limiting the applicability of the equation F= A 0.82 to propane only, with a maximum pressure of 300 psig. Most applications will fall under this section, and the same equation and Table may continue to be used. In other cases, the new section must be used. This section requires that the rate of discharge of the relief valve be enough to handle the same heat input of Q=34,500A 0.82 Btu/hr, but doesn t proscribe a formula or specific values for the amount of vapor produced or the equivalent air flow rate. The intention is that the system designer will have to perform their own calculations to justify that the relief valve can handle the same heat input on the tank. A suggested, nonbinding method to calculate relief valve size is added to the annex in section D.1.2. This method follows the same method used in the derivation of the 1953 equation, but stops short of substituting in the material properties of the product. Derivation of D.1.2: ASME BPVC Section VIII Division 1 Appendix 11, Capacity Conversions for Safety Valves, provides the following equation for relief valve capacity.
14 Here, W is the capacity in pounds per hour, K is the coefficient of discharge, A is the discharge area of the safety valve, in square inches, P is the absolute relieving pressure, M is the molecular weight of the gas or vapor, Z is the compressibility factor, and T is the absolute temperature at the safety valve inlet. C is in turn defined by the following equation in terms of k, the ratio of specific heats. We apply this in turn to the product vapor, designated with the subscript v, and test air, designated with the subscript a. We will assume that the compressibility of air is 1, so it will drop out. Note that K and A are properties of the safety valve, so they will not change. The inlet pressure will be the same when relieving product as when testing the valve on air, so P will be constant as well. We can also substitute in the formula for C. Dividing these equations, and cancelling like terms, we get the following. Finally, we relate the mass flow rate of air to the standard volume flow rate of air using its standard density. Here, F is in SCFM and W a is in lb/hr. Substituting and rearranging yields the final equation.
