Relief valve discharge setpoints and capacities rates
are provided in the following table. After the relief
valve has opened, it will re-close when pressure is
reduced to a safe level.

e:: After they are opened, relief valves may have
tendency to leak and must be replaced.
Pressure relief valve discharge capacities varies with
shell diameter and length and also compressor
displacement. Discharge venting capacity should be
calculated as required by ASHRAE Standard 15-94. Do
NOT adjust relief valve setting in the field.
