Dynamic Behavior of Transportation Pressure Relief Valves Under Simulated Fire Impingement Conditions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the results of the first full test series of commercial pressure relief valves using the newly constructed Queen’s University/Transport Canada dynamic valve test facility (VTF) ...
Effects of Pressure Relief Valve Behavior on 2-Phase Energy Storage in a Pressure Vessel Exposed to Fire
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent studies have shown that the hazards associated with loss of containment and BLEVEs (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions) are strongly tied to the energy stored in the liquid phase ...
Air Tests of Commercially Available Transport Vessel PRVs
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An experimental study of boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVE) was recently completed at Queen’s University in Canada. The results clearly showed that the severity of the BLEVE was ...
