Project manual

The project manual is often associated with a certain order systematics. This means either a directory structure for computer files or a systematics for the description of files. In both cases the fiUng of and access to documents shall be made easier for the employees involved. Tables 4.5 and 4.6

API methods. The DIERS Project Manual (DIERS, 1992) is the best source of detailed information on these methods. 

The couphng equation is a vapor mass balance written at the vent system entrance and provides a relationship between the vent rate W and the vent system inlet quahty Xq. The relief system flow models described in the following section provide a second relationship between W and Xo to be solved simultaneously with the coupling equation. Once W andXo are known, the simultaneous solution of the material and energy balances can be accomplished. For all the preceding vessel flow models and the coupling equations, the reader is referred to the DIERS Project Manual for a more complete and detailed review. 

A number of papers have explored methods for the solution of Eqs. (26-29) and (26-31), especially for the two-phase conditions. The reader is referred to the DIERS Project Manual for a more detailed review and list of appropriate references and available computer programs.

At present, there is no comprehensive gujdance on this topic However, it has been the subject "of much, research, particularly by the Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems (DIERS) of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AlChE). As a result, the DIERS Project Manual[1] (a, record of the DIERS research) and a considerable number of papers have been published. This Workbook summarises the main hand calculation methods (which do not.need. the use of a computer) available as a result of this work and their limits of applicability. A number of worked examples are given to. help the reader understand their application. The experimental information required to size an emergency relief, system properly is also discussed.. ...

The DIERS Project Manual (published by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers) is a helpful compendium for experienced safety-relief system engineers. Extensive background and experience are required to properly understand and apply the methodology. Help is available from the DIERS contractors and the DIERS Users Group. 

Design codes and standards such as API RP 521 and the DIERS Project Manual (Fisher et al., 1992) should be consulted for other correlations and recommended methods for calculating relief loads. The DIERS Project Manual also discusses calculation of relief loads for underpressure scenarios (Section 13.17.6). 

Guidelines for sizing relief valves are given in API RP 520. Different design equations are recommended for vapor, liquid, steam, or two-phase flows. Sizing methods are also discussed in the DIERS Project Manual (Fisher et ah, 1992).
