Abstract

An experimental study of the thermohydraulic performance of the safety relief valve (SRV) is presented. The study showed that the single and two-phase conditions upstream the SRV cause significant changes in the flow through the SRV. Five SRVs were tested covering a pressure range of (4.5-75) bar. A numerical solution of the transient one-dimensional, two-phase flow conservation equations by the method of characteristics was performed and predicted well the experimental data.
