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 />
