I believe/read multiple relief devices are installed when 1) sparing (duty and standby) philosophy is required (maintenance purpose) 2) release rate is large and is to be compensated by more than one relief valve/device 3) two very different release rate are required say 2" valve for vapor phase release and 12" bursting disc for two phase release.

Multiple pressure relief valve operation__________. a. Allows venting b. Allows operating the circuit at two different pressures c. Saves power

Typically, you would size a relief valve with a flow capacity of between 20-40% of the pressure reducing station. You can also size the relief valve to operate 

10/11/  · Next, an appropriate relief type must be selected, as sizing depends on the type of relief device selected. The operation of conventional spring-loaded pressure relief valve is based on a force balance: the spring-load is preset to apply a force opposite in amount to the pressure force exerted by the fluid on the other side when it is at the

The primary pressure relief valve ensures that the pressure in the hydraulic system never exceeds the first pressure limit and the second 

The main advantage of direct-acting relief valves over pilot operated relief valves is that they respond very rapidly to pressure buildup.

Pressure relief valves are a kind of specific safety valve system. This system is designed to restrict the pressure that's built up in a system.

a balanced piston pressure relief valve from a more convenient location. Relief and Sequence Valves Pressure relief valves mount between the pump and valve system to protect against overloads. A suitable pilot valve may be used to “vent” the balanced piston relief valve when the system does not require power. This venting unloads the pump

PRV or when backpressure is variable due to multiple relief or vent sources that may be present operate with more stability than a conventional PRV.
