Literature Review on Weight Optimization of Pressure Relief Valve for Emergency Relief Operation

Abstract

Pressure relief valves are designed to provide protection from overpressure in steam, gas, air and liquid lines. An overpressure event refers to any condition which would cause pressure in a vessel or system to increase beyond the specified design pressure or maximum allowable working pressure. In many systems, the key requirement of process is to relieve this pressure rise in no time. Conventional valves are unable to fulfill that requirement. This paper focuses on the review on design, analysis and weight optimization of pressure relief valve by using transient finite element analysis. There are many authors work on this pressure valve. This paper includes study of various papers related to pressure valve.
