Popis:	Pressure relief sizing for refrigeration equipment is considered in this paper. In particular the ASHRAE fire sizing formula [2] is critically examined and comparisons are made with methods employed in other engineering institutes. The traditional sizing approach based on vapor relief is re-exmained in light of the recent findings from the DIERS (Design Institute for Emergency Relief Systems) work [11]. The occurrence of two-phase discharges during relief may result in significant overpresurization of the refrigeration equipment. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a methodology adequate for most designs and which has been verified with available experimental data.
