Description
Four test programs of Bleed Condenser pressure relief valves (RVs) have been completed. This work was initiated following two events in which Bleed Condenser REs were damaged. During one event, the piping connecting one of the RV's to the Bleed Condenser also failed. The author describes the investigations of these events and subsequent testing of several different RV designs. Based on the test results, pressure relief valve designs suitable for this service have been determined. Lessons learned are applicable to pressure relief valves in liquid services
