Relief Load Calculation For Fire Case - As Per API 521

The document discusses calculating relief load for fire cases. Only equipment within 25 feet of the ground and adjacent to the fire source within 24 meters are considered. The relief load at operating conditions and relieving conditions can be calculated using formulas provided involving area, environmental factor, heat absorbed, temperature, pressure, and the ideal gas law.

Relief Load calculation for Fire Case - As per API 521

Only equipements or part of equipements below 25ft from ground are considered under fire case.
Equipement adjescent to fire source within the diameter of 24m are only considered to have direct impact on relief load.

Heat Absorbed In fire case:- Operating temp


Q in joule 0 operating pressure
Relieving temp
Relief load at operating conditions Relieving pressure
kg/hr #DIV/0! number of moles

Number of moles
#DIV/0!

Relieving temperature#

Relief load at relieving condition can be calculated using ideal gas equation PV=nRT

Relief load at relieving condition


V=nRT/p #DIV/0!

# :- relieving temp calculated from antoins equation


relieving pressure is known
so using antoins equation we can find out relieving temp, appling condition relieving pressure is vapor pressure.
