FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 3 - START UP<br />

Maximum allowable working pressure is the maximum continuous gauge pressure for which<br />

the compressor manufacturer has designed the equipment (or relevant part thereof) when<br />

handling the specified fluid at the specified temperature.<br />

Maximum allowable working pressure of compressor cylinders shall exceed the rated discharge<br />

pressure by at least 10 %, or 25 psi (1.7 bar), whichever is greater. The maximum<br />

allowable working pressure shall be at least equal to the specified relief valve set pressure<br />

including accumulation. The rated discharge pressure (RDP) is the highest pressure<br />

required to meet the conditions specified by the purchaser for the intended service.<br />

CAUTION<br />

OPERATING CONDITIONS MUST NOT EXCEED CYLINDER<br />

DESIGN LIMITATIONS.<br />

It is the responsibility of the packager to provide relief valves for every stage of compression<br />

in compliance with ISO 13631. Relief valve location and settings, including accumulation,<br />

shall take into consideration all possible types of equipment failure, mal-operation and the<br />

protection of piping systems. Relief valves shall be set to operate at not more than the maximum<br />

allowable working pressure, but not less than the values listed in ISO 13631:<br />

!<br />

CAUTION<br />

WHEN A BYPASS IS FURNISHED, A RELIEF VALVE MUST BE INSTALLED<br />

IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF THE BYPASS VALVE OR ON THE INLET<br />

SCRUBBER OF THE DOWNSTREAM CYLINDER. THIS RELIEF VALVE MUST<br />

NOT BE SET HIGHER THAN THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE WORKING<br />

PRESSURE OF THE CYLINDER WHICH HAS THE LOWEST MAWP OF THOSE<br />

IN THE BYPASS CIRCUIT. THIS IS TO PROTECT AGAINST DISCHARGE<br />

CHECK-VALVE FAILURE WHEN OPERATING ON BYPASS.<br />
